a79flh3873 Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Sometimes while I'm playing a CD or streaming music from a thumb drive in the center console I will hear audible pauses or gaps every few seconds or so and its really annoying. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, was there a fix for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtomatoman Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 I get very short skips or pauses with my 2011 RB5 about every 20 to 30 minutes. Not every few seconds. Mine happens more frequently with usb/iPod. It does happen with satellite as well, but not as frequently. The satellite skips may be related to the radio or to something external like a momentary loss of signal. Not sure. I don't recall it happening with bluetooth/spotify, but I'm so used to it now, that it may happen then too. A few years back, I demonstrated this to my local dealer and they replaced my RB5 under my lifetime warranty. The new one is exactly the same. I have concluded that my RB5 skipping behavior is a characteristic of the software or radio. I've just learned to live with it. Rock on... Peace.

bramfrank Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 There was actually a recall for this a few years ago. It didn't help, but then nothing they ever did for the RE2/RB5 ever helped. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
