My old head unit was a concert which would also glitch/cut audio over bumps and this has carried over onto my Sony head unit too.
Now you will be screaming at this saying it's a bad Ground or bad 12V feed or bad IGN feed, I can assure it is not... full stop.
1) I have used an oscilloscope on the IGN and 12V feed lines a verified no drop below 12.8V during audio cut off therfore there is no bad connection here to these voltages.
2) I have connected additional ground cables to the head unit including a 10AWG wire directly to the battery terminal to rule out an intermittent ground connection.
I am a N5000BT head unit which has 4x 55W outputs.
I am using an ISO adaptor PC9-401 which uses resistors to bring down the level of the stereo output to a limited form inputs for the use with the rear amplified speakers ( I will be changing this in the future to PC9-404 since this prevents possibility of over driving the inputs of the rear amplifiers before this is suggested).
Please suggest what could be causing this.
It is a half rear amplified vehicle non bose.
~When the audio cuts out the head unit stays running/illuminated etc just the audio play back is muted, then when driving over more bumps it the audio returns (again indicative of a head unit issue or GND but have verified these already)
