I don't think it's a bad battery because I just bought the car about a month ago, certified used, and they checked the battery out in their inspection.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

14 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Planet-9: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 1 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

So I've noticed something strange with my Cayman. If I'm sitting in the car with the engine off, but the stereo on, the stereo will sometimes short out if you open the glove box or roll down the windows. It comes right back on afterwards, but something is not right. Has anyone else experienced this or have any idea what's happening?

POST 2Original post

bad battery. I had to replace mine short after 6000 miles on it. Cayman feeds on voltage not on gas...

POST 3Original post

My stereo just gets quieter for a while then comes back up fading in and out and driving me nuts but it doesnt cut out. I never have a chance to get the car to service when service is open...

POST 4Original post

tme110 are you aware that is a "feature"? Take a look in your radio owner's manual for a complete discription. It can be owner disabled.

POST 5Original post

I don't think it's a bad battery because I just bought the car about a month ago, certified used, and they checked the battery out in their inspection. Any other thoughts?

POST 7Original post

TME, turn surround off, do you have the same issue still? Also, does this happen with every source, or FM only? - Suneet

POST 9Original post

POST 10Original post

Honestly, there are radio station frequencies in town that do this in all the cars I drive around here... the volume goes up and down repeatedly... so his prediction might hold some water. If you guys provide more details on whether or not you have surround turned on or off, and if it is in fact the radio that you're experiencing this problem on and not other sources, it would help diagnose the problem a lot. - Suneet

POST 11Original post

Suneet, I sent you a PM instead of highjacking this thread. thanks, tme110

POST 13Original post

For me it was cutting out no matter what I was listening to (FM or CD), but it hasn't done it in a while so maybe it worked itself out...

POST 14Original post

My Cayman came with something called the CDR24. In FM mode it seems to slip from stereo to mono and back again based on what I hear...lack of depth of sound...my surround is off...but the stereo indicator remains on all the time. Also, what's this goofy FM-AS mode?
