    Constant beeping from stereo speakers

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    The entire time I've owned this car *3 weeks*, it's had this annoying beeping sound coming from the speakers. It's always there unless I turn the head unit off. Even when the stereo is on but the volume is off the beeping is constant and the volume of it never changes no matter how high or low the music volume is. The beeping almost sounds like morse code it's so strange. I've searched this on the forum and online and other ppl have had this issue but as far as I can tell nobody ever found out what the cause was. My guy at the car audio shop has no clue either. Help?

    Check your ground wires. Remove the head and inspect the wiring to ensure your antenna and other cables are good. You're probably picking up erroneous signals due to poor earth or other issues with the receiver.

    Do you have any CDs in the changer? If so, try ejecting them all and see if the sound is still present.

    Do you hear the beep when you are not in the car? Maybe its in your head.😠 joking.

    Check your Bluetooth settings on your phone. I had connect disconnect sound when I had cell on power save mode.

    The Bluetooth is off. And as for removing the headunit, no I didn't do that yet. I'm no car stereo expert and would leave that to a professional. I was just hoping that someone else had encountered this and could speak from experience. I know it's pretty random.

    Its not random, your earths or RCA grounds are wrong thus you're picking up transient signals from other sources that go through the amp without any regard to settings or channel selection. Half-split method.

    Why are you paying someone to remove the headunit???? They literally slide out and then it's 2-3 plugs on the back, even if you don't have the specific Audi keys to remove the head unit itself you can pick them up cheap or make some out of metal file hangers. This guy had the same issue and it was the CD changer:
