Hi all,

I just bought a 2005 3.0R spec B and now find a small issue with the stereo.
It's the pre face lift model with the McIntosh with the plain rectangle buttons (opposed to the cool round later model ones)

In a nutshell, after driving for about 1.5 - 2hrs, the stereo just "dies", gone, nothing !!
Push buttons everywhere but no responce.

So I turn the car completely off and start her up again ..... stereo fires back into life as is nothing has happened !

Does anyone know if this is a "known or common" problem for this model/stereo ?
.... or can suggest where to even start looking for a problem ?

I've heard of many problems with the Mcintosh stereos before. Very prone to blowing internal fuses.
Check the grounds for each connector, cause that might be the issue.
Otherwise, I have a spare one in Brisbane if you'd like it

Thanks for the offer Finny,

I have not since had this issue in the 6 weeks or so I've owned the car.
I usually only drive 15mins - 1hr max, so I might just not ever see this problem again ..... hopefully.

It hasn't missed a beat and I just fitted a new Kenwood sub ..... so sounding sweet now
Just need to fit my new Clarion anycar box sometime soon and I'll be wired to my usb and phone

Awesome mate, bet it sounds rippa.
Enjoy!

Just fitted the Anycar unit and it works a treat.
Very happy and the SW controls all work well too
