sdtroo Posted June 27, 2011 Report Posted June 27, 2011 I have a new 2011 MINI with the upgraded HK stereo. This morning on my way to work it started making a popping sound and turning off and then back on. I turned it completely off, but it continued to pop every ten or so minutes as if it was turning back on. Has anyone ran into this problem??
Edge Posted June 27, 2011 Report Posted June 27, 2011 It sounds like the amp is acting up - if it persists, take it in to the dealer... your warranty should cover a replacement amp. Incidentally, I believe that in all MINIs with a dedicated amp (H/K, DPSM), the amp is powered on whenever the car is on, even if you turn off the head unit. That is why you still heard the popping sounds with the head unit turned off.

sdtroo Posted June 30, 2011 Author Report Posted June 30, 2011 Thanks so much for the response and advice! You know, the damn thing hasn't made a popping sound in a week. I still made an appointment to have it checked out. Thanks again!
