Cricket Noise From Stero

Hi Guys,


Approx 10 mins or so in to the start of my car, I get a "Cricket" sort of noise for say a second. Always the exact same time, same length.


Not a trim noise, defiantly from the stereo.


I am guessing its for the surround sound to check how many people or objects in the car?


Anyone know?

I get the same noise around the same period of time. Its probably for the sound system as you've said.

Finaly someone else noticed that. I asked several times, but no response. You spot on - Cricket sound , like this :


I get it mostly after driving 5-10 minutes, every single ride, but it happened also at the start up.

I think, it is interference between sound system and key-vehicle authorisation, but i could be wrong.

If you can find the "dash squeak thread" then you'll see i had the same noise and it annoyed the hell out of me. I got the dealer to investigate and it was some function that isn't even needed so they turned it off. I can't remember what it was now but I reported in the thread. It hasn't done it since.
