Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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.

Like most people it seems, I think the stereo is quite weak. Except for the booming it sounds sorta like listening through a telephone (though I did improve this a bit by turning treble to +9, bass to +3, loudness on, and fade to -2). I want to add mp3 anyway, so I'm going to replace it. For anyone who has done that, should I replace the speakers too? I can't tell if they are poor, or just the receiver. I have an 07 CS with I think 9 speakers (not Bose). Thanks.

The stereo is worse than "quite weak," it's pathetic, in my view. Easily the worst in-car radio I've had in the past five years, and my comparison is VW Jettas, an R32 and a MINI, nothing high end. I'm quite seriously considering the Pioneer AVIC D3, although I reckon it will be a bit of a challenge to install as I will do it myself. There seem to be a few area where Porsche cheaped out in these cars, and the radio is certainly one of them. Why are the window wipers worse than in Fiat Punto (non-aero), and why are the valve caps painted to look like metal when they're plastic? My base MINI has genuine metal, beautiful valve caps and a nice radio with iPod compatibility!
