Today I turned my car on only to hear a brief static sound followed by no sound from any source, radio, cd, aux input . I was playing a cd when i turned my car off before if that matters. This has happened twice before, each time i turned the car off and turned it back on and the sound problem fixed itself. However, that little magic trick did not work. I have a 2004 treg.
View 2 RepliesWell, I had my Treg back from the shop for two weeks (which is about my mean time between failures) and about a minute into driving last night listening to a cd a loud, scratchy, static sound starts coming out of the system.
It largely obscured, but did not eliminate the music. I switched to radio and got the same effect--can hear the radio, but barely over the static-like noise.
I will be getting rid of the beast as soon as there is a resolution to my lemon law claim, but I am told by my attorney that will take several more months...so I need to keep fixing my frequent problems.
I have the 2017 SFS, I think it uses the same head unit as the 2016 SFS, but not 100% sure.
Anyway, noticed that the XM radio sound is louder than, say, FM/AM?
On my old car I had a pioneer head unit where you could adjust the input sound levels, based upon the FM levels. (ie, XM input is +2 vs. FM, and CD is -1, etc.)
I can't find this in the sound menu (seems very basic to be honest).
I have 2015 IS350 F sport. At 400 miles I started hearing this static sound which seems to come from the center or the driver side dashboard. I don't hear it if the car is not moving but as soon as I hit 5-10 mph and above, it becomes audible. I tried pressing the dashboard to see if there are loose areas but couldn't find one. Also, I thought they may be coming from the center speaker but the sound doesn't change whether the stereo is on or off. Of note, it is more audible along bumpy roads.
View 6 RepliesIn Jan my radio began to make a static sound when I went over a bump, and then would go off. I discovered I could turn off the engine, and the radio would come back on. Eventually it stopped working altogether. A few weeks later, the turn signals stopped working, then the speedometer/odometer, then the cabin light, then the brake lights. Sometimes the windshield wiper goes on in the 'clean' cycle where water is squirted onto the windshield, and the wiper wipes. This feature has never worked before.
I have owned the vehicle (Mazda pickup 1998 B2300) for 2 years. I found soon after buying the vehicle there is a 'Timer Control Module' circuit board behind the radio in the dash which, when unplugged, will disable the functions mentioned above. Is this board the problem??
I have been experiencing loud popping and static/feedback sound from my front left speaker or tweeter. I replaced the jbl speaker with used jbl speaker. But it seems that my tweeter is done for as well. No sound comes out of it. Is it best just to replace it with a new jbl tweeter or are there better options that fit with not a lot of work.
View 1 RepliesI have 61,800 practically trouble free miles on my 06 V8. Pleasure to drive every time I get in. About a week ago I started getting thick, static on all of the AM radio stations. Looked on the roof to make sure the antenna was there and it was. The next day I noticed that the static disappears entirely when I hit the breaks and then returns when I let up off of the breaks. 100% reproducible.
View 4 RepliesI have no sound at all from radio,CD or Nav... nothing, nadda, zip. I checked with vagcom and all speakers show open circuit. It shows a DTC 00464. All of this followed an Output test performed on Controller 47 (Sound System) which worked fine.
View 4 RepliesLately I get a sound when I hit 45MPH or higher and it sounds like an old washing machine, it stops while presing the brakes or lowering the speed back to aprox. 45MPH.
View 6 RepliesSometimes when I start my car I wont get any sound out of my stereo; even the buzz is gone. The only solution is too turn it off and back on again. It happens every once in a while, a couple times a week. I think the car is not telling the amp to turn on. This is why the stereo is playing and there is no buzz.
View 3 RepliesDo any of touaregs make weird sounds when turning.
View 3 RepliesClicking sound behind the dashboard? it happens every once in a while and it's a little disconcerting. I can't tell if it's electrical or just loose parts clicking around.
View 8 RepliesConfirmed it today. Not hearing things. A very low bass like hum when the car goes over 80. Wind noise of transmission binding. What the transmission binding sounds like? Would it happen if the car was just going straight ahead with no turns?
View 5 RepliesA week ago I sounded my horn at a fellow T-Reg driver and my wife commented that it never sounded the same after I did the Euro light VAG...
View 16 RepliesI started the egg tonight and the radio came on but there wasn't any audio. I turned up the volume and nothing happened. I tried playing a cd from the changer and no audio. I pulled up "home" on the navi and Ivana talked to me and told me how to get home. So there is audio coming from the navi mode but not from the radio or the cd modes.
View 13 RepliesTry setting your fader entirely to the back speakers and tell me if the sound coming out is at all full/complete. I can hardly hear anything coming from the back.

View 9 RepliesSnap, crackle and pop sound coming from the vents in the front and rear when the heat is on. It sounds like rice krispies with milk.
View 4 RepliesWhen we were driving our Touareg from the dealer, I (my dad did not notice) noticed that there was a faint whistling sound coming from the car. This happened on surface streets, not freeways, and about 35-40 MPH. Sunroof and windows were closed.
View 9 RepliesWhen I turn on my a/c, it gives this short hissing sound for a second or two before it goes away. Then along the road i heard random hissing sounds (not often nor consistent, just happens every now and then) that lasts for a sec or two. Could this be a future problem or is it normal?
View 2 RepliesThe noise I am talking about comes from near the steering wheel and sounds like a relay or switch turning itself on and off rapidly. I can not pinpoint why the clicking starts, but I believe I have figured out what the sounds is from.
Over the weekend while heading up snowboarding I turned on the rear defroster, and there the sound was. I then turned the rear defroster on and off rapidly and it replicated the clicking sound I hear periodically.
I will be contacting the dealer to see if they can resolve this annoying sound, now that I have found the source.
