    Ok so I'm listening to some tunes on via iPhone 3GS last night. I have the factory integrated kit in the armrest and all is well, until suddenly the audio went silent. It didn't matter if I chose Tuner, CD, Aux, or iPod...no audio. The controls worked fine from the MFSW, as did the CD track controls and display, so this seems to be an amp problem.

    Short of taking it to the dealer, I'm thinking I'm going to unplug the battery and also check to see if there is a fuse somewhere for the amp.

    Any other suggestions or anyone else experience this?

    So I disconnected the negative ground and waited 10 minutes, and reconnected and didn't do squat. So I went to the fuse box to see if I could figure out what fuse belonged to the HK amp. What I found was a disconnected power wire. Strange. I wondered why this was sitting there. There was another bundle of wires a few inches away that looked like could be connected..so I reconnected them, and the audio came back. Not sure how the wire could have come lose as there is a little indent lock and I haven't even opened the fuse box since I brought the car home 2 months ago.

    Did you expose the Clubbie to bright lights, get it wet, or feed it after midnight?

    I'm guessing...

    that the connector just wasn't well seated when the car was built and it took a while to come undone. at least it was a cheap fix!
