Condition
Noise or no sound in CD- and radio mode is encountered in a BOSE Sound System equipped A6. The ring break
diagnosis does not determine the amplifier J525 as defect.

Service
Verify, if the issue is present in all Audio modes.
Perform a -3 dB ring break diagnosis.

If the -3 dB ring break diagnosis passes, reset the BOSE amplifier by disconnecting and then reconnecting the BOSE amplifier connector.

Ensure, that terminal 15/ignition is turned off, when disconnecting the amplifier connector

If the sound returns or the noise disappear, an MMI System - Update has to be performed.
