Try to pull out and reinsert the fuse. If it's like EU cars, pull fuse #6 for 5 seconds (fuse located left side in trunk)

4/7/04 bulletin P-B-82.85/325b - Audio system intermittently not functioning.

For all those recently taking delivery, or waiting on delivery DO NOT automatically take for granted that your car has all available fixes because it's new. Before taking physical delivery it would best to have your dealer's service department verify that all available fixes have been applied and all systems are up to date (ECU, audio, etc).

I hope it's not too late.



p.s. the #6 fuse trick works (at least for my '03 w/HK)
