Hi! I have a few issues with my 08 9-3, I was wondering if anyone has had similar problems. My door speakers seem to be going on and off at random, really crappy trying to listen to music without bass, btw I have the 7 speaker setup. I checked all the fuses for the amp and they all seem fine, checked the wires to the amp and they are in place!! It's driving me crazy. Second strange thing is that my passenger side airbag light gets dim and then bright again for no reason!!! It's pretty annoying as it catches my eye when it goes dim then back to bright!!!! Any help with these problems would be great
thanks

It could be the amp going bad. You're under warranty, so make the dealer figure it out.

The passenger air bag light problem is actually normal. The light is on a sun sensor which will dim or brighten it depending on the ambient level of light. For some reason that sensor is pretty sensitive. My '08 does the same thing, and there have been others here that have reported the "problem" as well.

I agree that the amp is a likely culprit.

If it turns out to be the amp and you are not under warranty, you can get a used one at car-part.com
