Unfortunately this happens on all audio outputs...

This is discussed here...

But I meant those annoying audio interruptions.

Describe those interuptions... from what audio source?

If its like a split second stutter (like a CD skipping) and the source is from your phone (either local files on the phone or something like spotify) then its almost certainly the phone/phone-connection. Try restarting your phone and see if its better.

If its coming from the radio... its probably not that.

I wrote about this a while ago on here and nobody was interested in my comments or thoughts!

Hey paul, no mention about the alloys but I’m in contact with someone else now so will find out tomorrow what the situation is with the alloys, I’m probably going to cancel my order with my current dealer and purchase another from a stock order that an already build and on its way to the uk, finding out tomorrow if it’s got what I’m want on it   

Thanks for the information, much appreciated. Were any other component shortages mentioned, I heard there was a problem with the supply of Warmenau wheels?

I think selling 1500 units is very optimistic with the current price point.

fair enough, quoting from my Audio post then:

got intermittent sound twice in a week, music cuts, thought it was my usb stick and my music, nope, same with radio and spotify.  Had to hard reset the system.  Some members in other forums mention having to change the OSF Control Unit (part code 572035876G), others cite that is happens because of CarPlay or Android Auto.

As if the disappointment that for such a lovely car, such a poor audio system choice wasn't enough...

Anyone else experiencing this?

makes for an interesting read, cheers mate.  I'll also post in car audio section as im facing some issues with intermittent sound now and then

I’m not sure too many mk8.5 owners visit the car audio section of the forum so probably worth posting your details of your audio issues here as well.

Hey how did you get on with the sound?
I have a new GTI 50 and I have the same problem with the sound dropping out.

so i player around with various settings, not able to get it to my 7.5's dynaudio heights but my current settings, i can live with.  depends on the kind of music you listen to also, my tastes are not particularly bassy but i do like high pitch and volume
