So ive got an 08 Type-S and this past Sunday my radio started cutting in and out about 80% of the time when I hit a bump and also about 40% of the time when I cut the wheel to make a 90 degree turn or greater. The display doesn't cut out at all but sometimes "HFL Link" is displayed and other times it just shows FM,AUX,etc like it should but still no sound. I've also noticed that when HFL Link is not displayed on the screen, if I lightly bang next to the radio on the console it will cut back on, but when HFL Link is displayed it only works about 30% of the time. Also my HFL has been disconnected for the past 10 or so months ever since I found out it was faulty. My suspicion is that there's a loose connection behind the radio, but the fact that HFL Link keeps popping up on the display is throwing me off since it's not even connected. Anyone have any input or advice on what the problem might be before I start pulling panels and trying figure out where the hell my multimeter is?

Did u ever fix the issues ? Mine just started doing that over bumps

Just a guess,

I've read that instead of removing the HFL, some just disconnected the switch. It is possible the switch is touching its receptor during bumps or turns.

s.cid07,did you ever disconnect the HFL?

This has been happening to my radio randomly only while on XM, even in wide open places.
