Naughty radio in GTI

[broady69]

If I turn the key on and start the engine straight away in the mornings, the radio fizzes for a second when it comes on, but if I turn on the ignition and wait till the radio comes on before starting the engine, it doesn't.

Does anyone else have this happening to their radio.

P.S. I know it's minor and pathetic, but hey...I'm bored.

I've noticed mine make some weird noises on startup seems to work ok though....

Sounds like an electric airel extending and gathering more recption. Only problem is that there isn't an electric ariel...

Mine doesn't do anything like that.
There was a software update for the radios, though I don't remember what it fixed other than a base flare problem.

Mine does the same, makes a crackling noise, whether you're in CD or Radio mode. It does go away though, and the radio works fine.

Mine makes a crackling sound and then a faint clicking sound from left side. The clicking keeps on going for about 30 seconds after I turn the radio / ignition off. They have replaced tweeter and that didn't fix it - I am having it checked out again.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I get the same. Also get a little boom out of it.
