Really strange.

Got in my car. Everything started as normal but..... no sounds at all. It was as if everything in the car was muted:

No reverse beep
I could see radio was working but no tunes
Sat Nav was clearly working but no instruction voice
Phone system worked without sound ( I could see phone dialling and hear it ringing from my pocket).

I drove 15 miles. Parked. Made 30min visit. Came back, started up and........

Everything was working as normal??

What did I do? Did I press something?? What happened??

Cheers

You must have accidentally pressed the "Stealth Mode" button when you got in. Don`t drive faster than your angel can fly!

ear wax ? At work

Now come on boys!! You're just not being helpful!!

Something must have caused it to happen

ear wax sounds a possibility.

Maybe you'd been swimming and had water in your ears?

On a serious note, all these things would go through your stereo, so same issue.

I've had my bluetooth module crash, but not the stereo.

You caould ask your dealer if it needs a software update

Mine used to do this. It affected the SatNav also. As usual the dealer, couldn't find a problem when they were told about it.

I had to stop the car, turn off, physically remove key, and reinsert, to get it working.
(Turning the car off and on, doesn't work.)

Personally, I'd badger the hell out of the dealer to get it fixed, as it was doing it for 2 years with me, and wasn't a transient thing.

It doesn't do it anymore - as I've sold it on.

This was fixed by a software update ... mine used to do the same behavior

Thanks for all the help. I thought I was going mad!

No - was sold back to a dealer (at quite a bit more than book price). But possible he's bought it through the dealer network?

No, not my car. I'm pretty sure of the history of mine!

Sounds like a software bug.....I had an interesting one on my car the otherday...

The radio was switched off...I put ithe FL2 in reverse, and instead of a "beep" to indicate reverse-sensors were active, I heard my normal radio station...even tho the radio was still off....

A quick key-cycle (ok, button-press!) & all was back to normal. '57 FL2 GS
Sumatra Blk, Tints, Winterpack, Dodgylooking TowBar, roof rails, Front & Rear LED Indicators, Clear Side repeaters(Led), LED Rear Position/Brake lights, Additional Power-point in the boot & Brighter luggage Illumination fitted

I've had similar happen to me on two occasions. When I've put a CD in the screen freezes and none of the buttons work on the radio, and then fortunately I've noticed that the rear parking sensors don't work! Sadly I don't have Sat Nav or Bluetooth to comment if they freeze as well
I've just put it down to shonky electrics and get it looked at when serviced

I have had the Landrover logo stay on the GPS screen when starting up thus Sat Nav unusable and also prevented the radio from working. A quick switch off and back on solves the problem, electrical gremlins probably the cause.
