Hi I am having the same problem - started today. No sound at all

did you manage to get this fixed?
cheers
 
What systems do both of you have?

If you have a rear amplified system and you have no sound whatsoever its mostly issues with the RNSe

If you have full amplified (bose) then it could be either the amp or the RNSe
 
^ Second this, check the fuse for your amp.
 
or take the main fuse out and leave it 12 hour
this will reset the unit
if it dont work then no idea
TONY i dont think your fin will stop the sound
 
if it turns out to be your rns i have one i can do you a good deal on (MK1 SDS unit)
 
Do a reset by either removing radio & unplugging quadlock or press radio & setup together for as long as needs (usually 30 seconds or so) until screen goes of, see if this helps, if not then ideally needs testing in another car before sending of.

Obscure I know but remove the nav dvd aswell.
 
Thanks for all the responses.

It is the Bose system I have - I have tried the reset option / checked the fuse etc. I will try taking the fuse out overnight - will also take the DVD out

I phoned a couple of local audio garages - if it is the amp they are quoting between £300 - £500 to replace. Think I will attempt it myself!


The unit itself if still working fine as is the navigation - just no sound...

Hard job to do - anyone attempted it?
cheers
 
AMP is plugnpray, so not to much trouble, just make sure you get the correct one, just little pita to get too, behind rear drivers quarter panel.
 
Yes, from looking at other threads, could be the amp by the sound of it (or lack of in this case!)
 
Did u find out what was causing this issue I've got the same problem on my tt 3.2 it also has the Bose setup

It was the amp. I fitted a used replacement one I bought off eBay and worked fine after, wasn't cheap though at about £100.
 
Thanks for your reply I've just sent Audi customer services a email saying that I'm not happy & I want this resolved but I won't hold my breath , looks like I'll be forking out for a new amp.
 
The car is a 2007 but that's not the issue really I should of contacted them when the window regulator went (another well know issue ) but I just forked out for it, it's about time Audi addressed these issues,it's just a big money pit for them . I know people slag Renault off but I had my Clio 172 for nearly 10years & it never missed a beat maybe Audi should take some advice from them & sort there prices out accordingly
 
7 year old car, with respect you cant really expect everything to work perfectly for years & years, appeal to them for goodwill, but 7 years down the line I just don't see them being that kind unless you can show a repeated same fault on that chassis for numerous others.
 
Have to agree with NHN on this you have to expect some things to go wrong over the years, yes they can fail but I've got a couple of Bose amps from 2005 and they are still running fine. Also with the amps it's not really Audi's fault they buy them from Bose and Audi cannot test them for 7 years before they put them into production.

Also factors could of contributed to the failure, heat, cold, dampness, all kinds of things, which may not have been the amp at fault but something connected shorted or had a surge, etc, these things all have to be seriously considered, it happens.
