08 F430 Radio Issue

wow my car does the same thing on a 2000 360. but i have the new becker cascade with the navigation from a 2008 430. would love to find a solution

 

Yes mine (08 F430 Spider) did the same thing not long after I got it about a year ago. I believe in my case it thought that it was connected to a hifi or Bose system as some of the menu items were different. But it has not done it since then.

You could ask the dealer if there's a firmware upgrade available.

 

My 08 did the exact same thing.
I noticed it happens if I turn off the head unit before I shut the car off. So when you are back in start up the car and then turn on you radio there is no sound, as if the amplifier never turned on
I’m not sure if the dealer has a fix for it, but if you keep the head unit on as you turn off the ignition, on next start up you will not encounter this problem.
I have a feeling the Bluetooth sync may be causing this glitch.

 

430s have radios?

 

JIJIJ good one,but yes Becker Ferrari radio sucks mine does the same! I dont turn the radio very offen.

 

My 2007 F430 has a garbage sound system. Some days there is sound and some days not. I have been told to replace the radio but there has to be a better solution. My son who is an audiophile is unable to fix it.

This is censorship to the highest degree.

Thoughts?

 

My 08 430 spider did the same thing from new, first time I had it in for service the dealer couldn't find anything wrong with it. Seems to come and go for no reason, but from the number of posts already here I would say there is a defect in this model of radio.

 

My radio had no sound through the speakers when I took delivery of my '08. I just leave the radio on when I turn off the engine and haven't had any problem. I suggest everyone having this sort of problem to do the same.

 

Make sure that the radio is turned off before you shut the car down. Turn the radio on after the car is running. This seems to work.

Who knows?
