Would a low voltage battery cause the display on dash and stereo to be broken up? It was like that on the drive home from buying it but seems fine now a few days later (100 mile drive back and only done about 20 in it since then). I know the car had stood for a bit prior to me buying.

Not bothered as it saves me trying to get it fixed but would like to know if the two are related??

Hi Chris, I have this issue on my 2002 a6. I have the symphony radio with built in 6 CD changer. I have found the screen starts to fail.due to age and is not connected to the low voltage. 

I have found that vibration can set it off, even vibrations from the speakers! On the same token I've found if I touch the screen whilst it is red and unreadable it resets it. However I appreciate this isn't a long term solution. 

Think.ill have to replace the radio eventually but I know the symphony radio is £400 from audi! 

Sorry I can't help more.

Cheers

Steve

No problem thank you for your input. I’ve bought a single din and a harness for the b5. Got the stereo out and now wondering where on earth all the wires go. Bought this eBay item...182657635008, anyone else does this mod?

Sorry I can't help more Chris, I'm unfortunately not too knowledgeable on radio wiring.
