After three weeks, man, I love this car. But I'm starting to kind of hating driving it. I only have a couple complaints, a very minor one is the rattles - yeah, the sunroof/hatch rattles, door panels squeak a little. But whatever, it's minor and seems mostly fixable, I've just got to get around to it.
However, the audio system has been atrocious. When it's working well, love the sound; the HK system was a big reason I went with this car. Problem is, it never works well. Problems I have:
1) Sound is always resetting to the back speakers. I thought I was going crazy for a while, and finally noticed a pattern where it sets sound placement to about 2/3 of the way to the back. I recenter it, but some time later, it moves back.
2) I have constant cracks/pops/snaps when playing any audio. Every few seconds there's a loud noise, and it doesn't matter if it's on XM, FM, Bluetooth, etc.
3) Every 2-5 seconds (but not synced with the pops mentioned above), the sound abruptly cuts out for 1/10th of a second, then quickly fades back in. Sometimes I go for 30 seconds without it, but sometimes it happens one right after the other. It absolutely ruins any podcast or song I'm trying to listen to. Again, happens on all modes, FM, Bluetooth, etc.
I'm wondering if any of y'all have experienced these issues, and if so, what fixed them. I will take it to the dealer if needed - it should all be covered under warranty. But if there's something I can do to fix it, obviously that's much preferred. I've messed with all the settings and reset the head unit.
