Just returnd from a trip to Filton/Bristol. Was enjoying as relaxing drive up the M6 listening to Radio2, when I decided to change to a CD. I chose an Elton John album from yesteryear ... (live album Here & There) now there was only me in the car so the volume go cranked up a bit......

After about 6 tracks, it all went quiet, very quiet, in fact complete silence. I looked down at the radio display to be see a message "System over temperature". The system wouldn't do anything that involved emitting sound but did eventually spit out the CD, which was bloody hot. The facia of the radio/CD was hot to the touch. Ooops I thought. End up cranking the aircon at minimum temperature for 10 minutes to cool the car and the dashboard down. Finally at approx 15 minutes from going silent the system came back to life, radio and CD.

OK, I was listening at a loud(ish) volume, though having said that it was actually about 22-23 on the scale which I'm sure goes way up into the 30's. I'm a bit dissapointed to find that I can't enjoy more than a few minutes of modest volume without the system giving up. The Mazda 6 was more than happy to supply the required volume without complaint. Anyone else had any audio problems? This is a GS with the basic fit sound system, I wanted the premium sound system but that isn't available as an upgrade.

Sounds like a trip to the dealer D4 HSE Lux for me
FL2 HSE Zermatt & Alpacca for the wife now gone
Skoda Yeti L&K for the wife.

maybe your cd-player gets hot from Elton John
try playing a female artist
