#11 of 12 2008 C4S approaching 3200 miles by bayareafx45

Have the Bose Premium sound system w/ 6 changer CD . I guess Porsche heard the complaints .... my 2008 C4S sound system is the best ! Great bass and highs . Holds 7 CD's but no IPod connection . That came later on the 2009's. Porsche is usually a year or two behind on stereo systems for their vehicles for some reason. Maybe, they just want us to hear the wonderful growl of the exhaust instead ?
 
Never less, they did great on the 2008's !

#12 of 12 intermittent radio operation by jerseyguy1

Perhaps someone can help with this one. 2004 911 cab. Every so often the radio simply does not work. Everything lights up but no sound, volume control does not work, cannot change stations, etc. Usually (not always) after a few minutes all is normal. Twice the word "Porsche" in the face plate kept blinking on and off and it made a sound as id it were trying to change a CD. On/off radio control does not work during these episodes. One time I turned the car off and after a bit the sound stopped. Other time after about 10 minutes of driving the radio just came back on and all was fine.
 
Dealer is about 35 miles from me and I've tried taking the car back several times. Get halfway there and the radio simply starts working again.
 
Car is under extended warranty until the end of February so I'd like to get it resolved on Porsche's dime and not my own.
 
Cannot tell if it the radio proper or the amplifier. Ideas anyone? Thanks
