Reported cause
I checked several other stations and it was the same situation.
Leading evidence: 'same situation' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'same situation' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check on the stereo and this time it's okay' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

in the aux and it was the same staticky, weak sound.

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.

wonder if anyone has experinced this???
Almost always the FM radio works fine upon starting up the car. However, once in a while upon start up, it is very "staticky" - every station on the dial! (I am in open areas as well when this happens). Also i have
next
to nothing in either trunk or in the panels that could be potentially blocking any antenna's. To fix it, i turn the car off, wait about 2 minutes, then start it again. It generally works by then. I read somewhere that the bluetooth radio in my
iphone
could hinder it, but this happened well before i ever paired any bluetooth device to it?
any ideas? suggestions?
glad to hear someone else has seen this. Its very hard to repeat in front of the
porsche
techs because it happens so sporadically so hopefully they will just take your word for it that it happens
Mine did this twice in the first month of ownership, but hasn't done it since. I shut off the car and re-started it and the porblem stopped, but it hasn't returned, so I don't know what to think of it...
If it's a rapid, "rat-tat-tat" kind of noise, then it could be interferrence from a cell phone or Blackberry. We hear a lot of this interference over computer speakers and FM radios are not immune. The optical MOST bus won't pick this up which is why you don't hear it on other sources.
i have an '09 with
bose
and this just happened to me today. As I turned up the volume, I noticed that the stereo didn't sound right. I could hear static and the overall sound was a little weak. It sounded like one or more of the speakers went out. I checked several other stations and it was the same situation. I plugged-in the
ipod
in the aux and it was the same staticky, weak sound. I parked the car, had dinner, and checked on the stereo and this time it's okay. No more static and the sound is even throughout the cabin. Very strange.
Any thoughts?
My '12 does this on occasion, maybe 3 times in the 8 months Ive had it. It seems to be just within the radio unit because the CD and aux work fine. Shut off and restart seems to fix it. You can hear the voice or music, but it is highly distorted and useless. Some digital queertron acting up.
I have scored two such anomalies ove the 3k+ plus miles of my '11 C. Both times AM/FM sound returned after engine shut-off long enough for all electrics to reset. It was as if antenna was either disconnected or their was a white-noise interference. The first time I thought bluetooth interference was culprit (may still be the issue...I don't know). The second time I trusted that radio sound would return
next
engine start. I tried my
iPod
through AUX just to see if it was isolated problem with radio frequencies but the
iPod
was also silent through car speakers. I again suspected my phone causes this because my Android device was just flashed with a new ROM including upgraded Bluetooth radio firmware. Reading this thread makes me think it is interference from the car???
I did notice that my phone bar icon on the lower left of the CRD30 screen had a pic of a handset with a slash through it (no signal bars showing). Once I saw that I though it was all radio frequencies (FM, AM, Bluetooth, cellular, etc) having issues and was looking at the news feeds for a massive solar flare heading this way!!
The fact that it resets with a car restart seems to me to point to a software type of issue. For lack of a better term, with my issue anyway, it sounds like a digital static type of distortion. Not regular, old school, static interference.
I agree with that description. Odd thing is, when I took ownership of the car last month, the
Porsche
folks said they did a CDR30 programming upgrade campaign (free) while they did my PPI. I wonder if this was supposed to fix it...
Just chiming to say that my 09
Cayman
base (no
Bose
) had the same fault today. FM was a sea of static across all stations, AM was fine. Nothing I did changed anything. After restarting the car, it was all fine.
I managed to replicate it yesterday - somehow, leaving the accessory line in cable in the AUX socket without plugging in my MP3 player made the
CDR-30
go into "static" mode. When I turned off the car, and waited for all the electronics to shut down and restarted it with the cable unplugged, the static went away.
Mine does it too. About 1 in 20 starts results in a radio that does not receive any stations. In my case the CD player and the Aux in still play normally. When the radio tuner does not boot up properly I have to turn off the ignition and wait a few minutes then restart and all is normal again. I talked to my Service Adviser and he stated that there were "Lots" of issues with the sound systems. That
Porsche
HAD been replacing them but was currently doing a software upgrade. He suggested that I wait a bit to address mine since I am still under warranty for a year and then under CPO for two after that. "Give them time to come up with a solution." ( Of course it has been a problem for over 3 years for some already :-/ )
I leave my AUX cable attached but, no
iPod
, no static. Never an issue. This is strange though, if temperature gets very hot inside cabin (outside 90+), the screen turns a violet, grey whitish color, weird. As temperature cools it goes back to black with grey blocks for stations, I'm not even tempted to take it in for this, it happens once or twice during the hottest summer and I wouldn't be able to duplicate in front of service tech! As for static, I've never had that issue.
