Lots of issues with rear audio in these disrupting the system. Try powering off the rear audio controls first and see if that helps. ---

Actually the problem is not with the rear audio, it’s the Radio itself. ---

Does the car have a separate amp? Perhaps it is going bad or there is a bad connection between it and the head unit. ---

No I don’t have amp. I know it’s a strange problem but this is what happened 😉 ---

Then it sounds like the amp section in the head unit has a problem. Your cheapest solution is to replace the radio. ---

Then I’ll try to test one in place, if it worked that will be the solution. ---

Do your speakers have the BOSE logo on them? ---

Ok glad you have it eliminated. When I had issues with mine cutting out, I spent some time diagnosing it. Turned out the rear audio connector block also affects front audio. Who knew? Good luck…
