The issue is that after 1 to 2 seconds the sound from the side speakers greatly diminishes, and the dash speaker is very prominent. Hard resetting the system doesn't help. I had installed an aftermarket RS Audio speaker, which made the issue very noticeable. Yesterday I re-installed the original speaker, and the issue is the same, although not as apparent. The dealer has repeatedly said it sounds fine. At the 20k service in a couple of weeks I am going to have a tech sit in the car with me and point out the cutout. I think I just need to find a dealer that is interested and will take care of the problem instead of kicking the can. There are many issues with this model and software version that have been discussed on VW Vortex. The car is a 2025 Golf R, and people have had the infotainment module replaced, which people refer to as the 5F module. Some have had the amplifier replaced, and some have had both replaced.

It's most likely a problem with the amplifier. In fact, some of the issues in newer VAG audio systems are software related (random device disconnects, audio cutting out, display cutting out, etc). An update to the amplifier might resolve the issue... Or brick it entirely :laughing

Does this happen with all inputs, even a thumb drive or FM radio vs wireless audio?
 
Does it happen while driving on the road?

Or while sitting with the car on or off , engine on or off in a parking lot?

Children and teenagers and adults to have a say in what happens to them.

You're just repeating bullshit propaganda that has no truth unless you just listen and read bullshit.

Before he transitioned, one of my best friend Chris' daughter/son took his time between her and him and he had the support many of friends and family. Always in his transition. As a teenager and a young adult, Chris is one of the smartest and astute teenagers I've met.

I don't give a shit if that bothers you. There was a family and friends to support Chris in his transition. If you can't understand that or have a problem with it, then we have a problem and you need to get over things you believe about people.

If I'm wrong about you being a bigot, I'm more than happy to walk back what I said.

I am as far as a person can be from being a bigot. Go ahead and walk it back.

And again, all I was saying is that surgeries and other procedures should wait until the individual matures both sexually and emotionally before any such decisions are made about their own body. What about that indicates to you I might be a bigot?

ST dude-you present as being a very angry soul. How is gender affirming care effecting you today?

I am far from being an angry soul.

But what does make me angry is people encouraging these surgeries on children who aren’t yet sexually mature, who haven’t yet experienced their own sexual awakening, and are handicapped with making the decision themselves because of their lack of life experience. Let them make the decision for themselves without any outside influence when they are old enough to make the decision themselves.

There is a wide spectrum of sexual norms. We don’t have to all fit into one of just two categories. I believe that children should not be encouraged to have these procedures until they, themselves, can make the decision all on their own. Let them experience their sexual awakening in their own way, in their own time. Then these procedures, with all their limitations and downsides, can become options. In the meantime love them. Care for them. Support them. But don’t encourage them to do something to their bodies that is irreversible and could very well not align with what they become down the road.

I believe many people do these things thinking themselves to be helping them when all they are doing is making children conform to societies norms. And society is generally out of touch with reality.

Martin, you do not have to keep on defending your opinion, it’s yours and yours alone. FWIW, I do not believe you are a bigot, nor do I believe that you are on the right side of Fox News. I do believe some of your opinions do not mesh with what many experts have concluded nor are folks that disagree with you need more input from you.

Mr ST.

If I may.
You fail at reading the room and knowing when to bow out of a conversation. You MUST justify your position when IMO you should feel fine about what you feel but really should shut up.

I feel awkward for you in those situations and because I am about your age I feel awkward for that.

Bottom line. Your opinion is your own, real strength is not having to prove it to others.

Sorry. The last two days were ugly here and it was because you had to justify justify justify.

Be happy and let this shit go man.
