I am having a problem with my Mk2a. I will be driving along and the audio and screen will cut out. After a second or two the screen will come back to life with the battery icon in the upper left hand corner. Then a few seconds after that the music will resume...or not. The audio does not always resume and I have to reboot the player. This only happens in my car. Any idea as to what is going on? I am going to get a volt meter from a firend of mine to check my cars electrical voltage to see if I am having an issue there. It just seems funny that the player doesn't just shut down totally if there isn't enough voltage from the supply side.

Thanks for any input

Start with these things and come back after investigating them and let us know if you have any success.

A new battery fixed that problem for me once. That said, there are other causes with the same effects.

Probably worth a trip to AutoZone to get your battery tested for free.
