Just in case anyone is as thick as I can be sometimes, I was starting to get frustrated with my AVC9000-1 as it started muting out every so often. At first I thought it was the SD card, but then I checked it with CD, radio, iPod and USB (I tried them all). It would be playing fine, then for no reason I would loose sound. I was about to phone Auspack when I releaised that it seemed to be doing it at the same places on the road. You've probably all worked it out by now, but it took me a day or two to realise what was happening.
I had set the Satnav to start up automatically when the unit was switched on (I normally don't do this, and I can't remember why I changed it
). Anyway, as the system doesn't default to the Satnav screen (you have to select it) what was happening is that the Satnav was running in the background, but the Satnav sound was muted. So when it got near a redlight camera or speed camera, it would mute the radio sound (as it should so you can hear the satnav message), but because the Satnav sound was also muted, there would be nothing! I'm not sure why I'd muted the Satnav either, but at some point I must have done this too!
