B&O Sounds system issues

[watherton]

Hi peeps,

before I contact my dealer, I wanted to ask if anyone else has experienced loss in their B&O speakers. I returned to my car this afternoon, turned on the car only for my speakers to make an ear cringing POP, almost like a bang (no pun) - After turning the car off and then back on again, I only had sounds from the radio coming in the back speakers, I went through all the menu items and all seemed fine - then the sounds went all together! It wasn't until ten minutes later that my system made an electrical arching sound and came back on again.

Now, unless this does this whilst I am at the dealer, they are not going to believe me, especially if I explain my experience as well as I have here - so if anyone can explain to me from their own experiences, what the hell is going on, id be very grateful

The amp is defective and caused by water leaking onto the control unit.I have replaced two of them for this exact complaint and found one had a small leak from the boot and the other had no evidence of any water leak.
The amp is located nsr luggage compartment behind the nsr light unit so just pop the cover off and see if any snow or water has run down the boot struts and dripped onto the amp

@A8Tech here's one for you, on the B+O system, with AMI, why is it that sometimes when flicking between tracks on the iPod, the current song playing, just as you flick to next goes ridiculously loud- standard bevhiour, setting that can be changed somewhere?
