“Rear speakers make noise upon turning radio on. Noise includes hum, hissing, squeal and poop noises. According to Audi, the speakers and amplifiers in my car are the asme as those in 1991 and 1992 versions. 1991 and 1992 cars had a recall on these bose speakers as the failure can cuase a fire. Audi is not extending the same repair to my car because it is not within the scope of the recall, although the systems are the same as are the problems”
