but it evidently was receiving the signal from the radio station as i could hear the broadcast...however, none of the controls worked and i couldn't adjust the volume nor could i change the station.

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.

Like a poltergeist, my radio stopped working last night. Unlike others who see "
PORSCHE
" stuck on the radio display, mine seems to function ... that is, one can switch from AM to FM to CDS to CDC. The radio and the m/f display shows the track playing or station but NO SOUND! It's like the amplifier isn't turned on (I have the Sound Plus package).
The last time this happened, back in May, the dealer reprogrammed the radio. Of course, this morning it's back to "normal". I hate intermittent electrical problems. Now I have to wait until it stops working again before I call the dealer.
gtkyl, like you and others (there are a few similar threads) i've experienced a similar problem twice before where "
PORSCHE
" is displayed, but there is no sound. as this was an intermittent problem that corrected itself and has not reoccurred, i haven't dwelled on it.
however, this morning i experienced a different issue. the display was blank (except for it being backlit), it did not display the radio station nor the volume level. but it evidently was receiving the signal from the radio station as i could hear the broadcast...however, none of the controls worked and i couldn't adjust the volume nor could i change the station. it lasted for about 5-6 minutes then corrected itself.
It's not the amp if you have a sound package plus system, even if the amp fails, half the speakers will still work. There is a string of bad CDR-24's out there and a TSB related to them; your dealer should replace your headunits.

I had the same problem when I was installing my Dension iPod adapter. The radio appeared to be in proper working order but no sound. I finally tracked it down to a poor connection in the MOST fiber optic cabling. Because your problem is intermittent it would seem that a poor connection would be the source of your problem. I would suggest that you (or your dealer) go through each connection and make sure they are all tight.
my intermittent radio problem is back, but now it displays the station i'm listening to, but i can't adjust the volume or even turn it off. First problem, "
PORSCHE
" was displayed but no sound. Then the
next
problem i could listen to the radio, but the display was blank (except for it being backlit). Now, i can listen to the radio and it displays the station, but i can't adjust the volume or turn the radio off.
as soon as i have the time, i'll take it into the dealer.
Just had this same issue in my recently-purchased '07. I went to adjust the volume and none of the buttons on the head unit were functioning. Couldn't switch between AM/FM/CD, CD wouldn't eject, and volume/power button wouldn't function.
I tried shutting off, exiting, locking the car, and getting back in to no avail. Pulled fuse D9, started the car for 10 seconds, shut down and reinstalled the fuse and all is once again right in the world.
In just 1 week of ownership, planet-9 has saved me trips to the dealer and probably a lot of coin. Awesome!
I've had an intermittent issue where i change the radio station, and the station that was on when i turned on the radio is still displayed. So if i turn the radio on and station 1 is selected, and i switch to station 2,3,4,5, station 1 is still displayed. CDR-24,
Bose

Just another data point: I had this exact same problem today in my
2008 Cayman S
, and the fuse-removal trick worked for me too. Thanks for saving me a pricey trip to the dealer!
Similar issue. See if anyone had with resolve. (Intermittent. Good one day and then not the
next
) Radio on but no sound. No sound with CD either. Hook up Aux
Iphone
and great sound. Yesterday it worked and then today nothing. same problem. Tried turning CS off, lock, walk away, unlock, start but didn't work. pulled fuse. NOT...! Appreciate any assistance.
2007 Cayman S
Hoping there's someone out there with another idea. Radio comes on for about 4 seconds and then sound goes out. All visual works/looks right but no sound.
iPhone
jack works right. Great sound. Radio/cd nothing after 4 secs. Thx
