Hi everyone. So I rear ended a car the other day, unfortunately, and now I hear loud crackling and popping sounds coming from the speakers. Does anyone know why this is happening or what I can do to fix? I took the multimedia fuse box out of the fuse panel I’ve been driving like that for a little bit, it seems like its worked so far. Is it dangerous to drive this way? Any help would.be wonderful. Thank you! ---

That could be from radio interference created by the crash causing problems with electrical connection(s). Does the noise vary with engine speed? ---

You may have knocked a connector loose, causing intermittent contact. Check the speaker and power connections. If you only hear crackling from one side or one speaker that will be a clue. ---

Yes the noise does vary with the engine speed. Also the length of time I drive. For example the first five or ten minutes of driving its very quiet as I keep driving then it gets progressively louder and louder. ---

Just curious , you don’t have full coverage on this vehicle ? If you do then when the front damage is fixed the radio should be also . ---

I replied to only post help where I could. I am new at the the whole posting thing or how anyonene would be deemed anything at all just simply by what is replied to the original topic poster, I honestly tried to offer technical help albeit specific as I could inform without any year model or make and trim level it was unknown and I thought was related in detail to the topic started. I apologize if this offended anyone here to all if it was looked upon with frowning and respect help as its needed for anyone who would seek answers. I will take the time to review what is needed of myself to aquire a better reply format. ---

Now that my red face is back to an acceptable shade, I can try better and improve my offered up solutions and take one for the learned. 😂 ---
