Hi guys I have a problem when I use sport mode in SMG When I chage gears HUD turns off for moment of shifting and music cuts off (something like cd skips), I don't know why it can be. Anyone experience that problem? Any comments are welcome, Thanks in advance. p.s. sorry for my bad english

It's probably a weak battery. Let me guess, it happens more while you're using things like the seat heater, steering wheel heater, etc., right?

(it's rather long but still fun to read and watch how we solved the problem... )

i had that problem,in my case it was not associated with amount of drain on my battery,rather,it was happening when the outside temperature was dropping to around 50F and lower-so i had no problem in the summertime.I never figured out the exact cause of it,my guess would be "bad" battery.
I also remember that i could reproduce this sudden loss of electrical power by revving up engine while idling(not moving+gearbox in neutral) during which the light in the glovebox would go off for a split second along with muted radio.Hope it helps.
