electrical issue?
Greetings all,
Been having a recent problem with my 2004 Allroad. When the car is off and
out in the cold (-15 to -20C) for a few hours), when I turn on the radio, I
can see it comes on, but no sound from speakers. Once its back into my
garage (where the temperature is about 2C-7C) overnight, the radio and
speakers are back to normal the next day. Any thoughts on what could be
wrong?

most probably in the radio...........may also be a soldered (dry) joint
somewhere in radio.
I believe some manufacturers are using 'green solder' ie lead free and this
could be the problem.
It is rather odd that when delving deep into electronics goods
specifications many actually state, only operate at 0-30C.................
