I finally found out that the AM FM Tuner is in the trunk, anyone know where it is in a volante's trunk?

 

Its not really in the trunk, more like the right wheel arch. Access is like a CRM only on the other side. There you will find the "stack" of components mounted to the base plate.

 

Thank you, you saved me a lot of time and frustration.

 

Hey ...H-O....my Bluetooth always mates with my phone. I have never had to reset syn since setup..maybe your unit is going bad...
evening

 

It's quite possible it might be my phone, but it has no problem with my home base station. I asked 2 different techs and they both said the same thing, BT is not that reliable. Congrats on yours though

 

So I replaced the ICM and had it programmed and still nothing, checked the MOST at all the modules and I see the red light and hooked up a loopback and still nothing. ICM was replaced because the tinting was bubbling up and was getting hard to read. Running out of ideas, the only link I can find between the cluster and the infotainment system is the low speed CAN, but I cannot see where that would cause the radio to cutoff and on. Just totally fed up with the car right now.

 

phone is sync'd with the bluetooth and according to the bluetooth manual the speakers are activated by the amplifier, does anyone know where that is on a Volante?
Manual says the boot, but I could not find it, could it be with the sub in the backseat area?

 

It's there, just have to remove the carpet panel. Pull the amplifier and open it up you may see a thermal event has occurred on the main board.

 

Who puts a heat sensitive component outside of the cab?

Found it thanks, saw it earlier, but when it said Volante only on the outside, I assumed it was somehow connected to the roof mechanism.

 

Took me forever to track down the issue, but I finally found it. One of the previous owners added a rear camera and whoever installed it spliced into the radio power wire and added a 15amp fuse in a really bad way. They had cut power wire and instead adding an inline fuse, rigged the fuse by using two female clips, and did not protect the wires, well they corroded through and this was done right under the center console and I must have broken the wires when I was taking the center console out. I just disconnected the camera wires and soldered the wires back together.

Word to the wise, if you add something to your car by someone else, make sure you check their work and don't end up like I did.
