    The stereo in the 456 GT cuts out sometimes when I hit small bump. The stereo seems to loose power for a second and then comes back on. Any idea what might be causing this (a short or loose connection) ?

    I have this problem too -I'm looking to replace the audio system with the Becker Traffic Pro! Has anyone else out there done this on a 456?

    I am also looking for other options. Please let me know if this works.

    I think I managed to solve the problem with the Stereo cutting out. I took the cover off the CD Changer compartment in the boot, pulled apart and cleaned all the connections, and then reconnected the system. Seems to have solved the problem so far (2 days).

    Hig - I found a company called Sempal who gave me some great advice on the Becker Systems that are fully integrated with Ferrari. The one they suggested for the 456 is the Becker Traffic Pro 7823 (Green Backlit to match dash)

    Here are their contact details:
