The onset of colder weather seems to have triggered a problem with the Harman Kardon amplifier. I'm getting loud cracks and pops coming from the speakers, but it seems to go away once the car has warmed up. I gather this seems to be a common issue and have got the car booked in at the dealer but the earliest appointment was several weeks away. In the meantime it's driving me potty and I was wondering if it's a question of just swapping out the amp for a replacement or does it require coding to the car before a new one will work properly? If it just a simple swap I'm tempted to get a recon one off ebay for the time being.
