2021 Audio Issues

I've been having audio issues. It often seems like there is a connection/contact issues somewhere. The audio will often stutter whether or not it's on AM/FM, apple play, or Sirius. Sometimes it will just shut off and nothing I did can get it connected again except for stopping, parking, turning off car and opening door to reset it. It can be maddening.

I'll be scheduling a maintenance visit soon but wanted to see if others have dealt with this and know what the issue might be.

Just bought a ‘21 EX. I’d love to hear if anyone else has this issue as well. I’ll report back if I have issues.

I have a '21 SE and have not had any issues so far. Most people report having issues around 2,500 miles. Apparently it has to do with some mounting harness behind the dash. IIRC, there was also some kind of service bulletin that instructed mechanics on what to do, but I'm not exactly sure.

I have 2020 touring. Don’t think I’ve had any issues like you’ve described. I have noticed the speakers popping a few times, even when there is no active audio.

This is a known issue, took a lot of work but finally resolved in my mom’s 2020 touring. Can’t recall exactly what it was, think it was a harness.

Mine actually resolved itself on its own somehow. I had an appointment to have it checked but it was working so I canceled a d haven’t had an issue since.
