Bose sound stopped working

[tmrqs]

None of my Bose speakers were working using any media when I got in my car to drive home today. Tried to make a tighter connection on the Bose plug under the trunk but still didn’t work. Locked the car and when I returned about 10 minutes later the speakers were working.

I didn’t reboot the PCM but I guess turning the car off and leaving it for a few minutes reset the speakers. Not sure if fiddling with the Bose plug really helped or not.

Nope, no need to fiddle with the plugs.
Happened to me a couple times, same lock-the-car-wait-a-bit steps worked, just one of those gremlins.

Glad to know I’m not alone. Btw, this speaker gremlin is not unique to Porsche EVs since my wife has the same issue/fix in her Ford F-150.

Had this gremlin more than once (no sound, sound only on the left side, sound only in the front speakers) and found out that disconnecting the sub connector in the trunk, count 10 to 0 is faster than closing the car and wait. Just my 2c. About this it reminds me my previous Tesla M3LR when the infotainment showed a problem every week (even if with it a simply reboot of the PCM solved the problem without stopping). It's time for an update of the PCM, come on Porsche

That just happened to me as well this morning. No sound at all from any speaker. Somehow I was able to make a call and sound came through. Waiting an hour or so and it is back. Weird.

Car is 4 days old :-(

I don't think there's much Porsche can do about it. The Android audio stack is pretty limited and buggy. Maybe there's a Porsche-specific bug in there somewhere, but this type of complaint seems to be in the forums for basically all AAOS cars.

Have definitely seen it on Rivian and Polestar, and others have called out Ford and GM products as well.
