Default Audio keeps cutting out

Hi guys,

My audi has recently been cutting out a lot. The radio, CD player, Aux, they all cut out at times for a few seconds here and there and I'm not sure what is wrong. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks

This is a BMW forum, go to the Audi forums as they may have more input for you.

Yes I just dont know what he wants us to tell him. Checking/reseating the plug should be common sense.

90% sure it's your amp .. I had to change my amp because my bass would come and go, same symptoms you described but only the bass.

Ew my bass is doing that now, but mostly when volume is extremely loud.

I know it was annoying as hell for me.. good news tho, it's an easy fix.The amp is located in the trunk, left side, you have to take off the cover and you will see it, get the part number and buy a new/used one and all you have to do is unplug the old one and plug the new one. That did it for me.

Mine was doing the same. I went into the hidden menu and brought up the voltage menu and noticed that my voltage was falling down to 10.x volts. It turns out it was my voltage regulator and I ended up just replacing the alternator/voltage regulator.
