Symphony II Radio

[wpmosc]

The Symphony II Unit on my 2001 Allroad does not have any Backlight with the Instrument Backlighting, also the Steering Wheel Controls have no Backlight anymore, then the Radio does not turn on or off with the Ignition and has to be switched manual. Sometimes the Steering Wheel Controls just stop working incl. the TIP Controls, when you then turn off the Radio the Tip Controls work again and when you turn the Radio on again its Steering Wheel Controls also function again....... Anybody got any Idea where to start ???

I have the same problem as you. Did you ever find a solution? I tried the fuse on the back of the radio unit, but no luck. Anyone? Thanks in advance.

Edited: I have a 2002 A6 Avant with the Bose option.

From another forum member, I understand that this is a problem with the Transport Mode function. Evidently it is enabled. Anyone know how to disable it?

So, I have an 02 A6, same issue. Here's the long version. Did anyone ever figure this out?

My radio did something weird on me today, and it wont stop. It started when I got in my car to go to lunch. Here's what happens:

-Start the car (or just turn the key on). Radio is off.
-Push in the power button (volume knob) and it turns on and sounds fine.
-The instrument cluster does NOT show anything in the top section like usual, just blackness.
-When I turn the headlights on, the radio's buttons do NOT light up.
-When I turn the car off, the radio does NOT turn off (unless powered off manually).
-My buttons on the steering wheel only work for a second or two after powering the radio on, then they stop working.

Anyone seen this happen before? Any tips?

fixed! Sorry for posting a link to another forum, but here's how i did it (basically, if anyone has this problem, just disconnect the battery cable for a bit):

02 A6 4.2, Symphony II works, kinda... sorta :/ - AudiForums.com
