I've read through other posts, but seem to have a slightly different issue.
Randomly my radio seems to glitch out. It doesn't matter what audio source is playing. And even today I realized it happened with the radio off and even with the Bronco fully powered off. It started off a couple days ago and would happen for a few seconds and then clear up on its own. Today though it was constant for about a 20 minute drive. About 5 minutes into the drive home it resolved itself. I plan to check all of the connections at the battery, but I suspect that the wires aren't an issue. I read about the reset today and will try that tomorrow when it happens again. I'll post a quick video to show the issue.

I’ve had intermittent other issues like no sound, or off/on push button doesn’t work then it just resolves itself. I keep updates ON (maybe some updates cause some of the temporary issues) and I’ve done a reset once a few months ago. Mine is a 2023 BD.

Hi Brad! I can look into your Bronco's audio concern on my end. To get started, could you please send a private message over with the name/location of your local Ford dealer and your Bronco's VIN?

While you're under the hood check the fuses, too. Don't know that it would be involved but there were enough reports of poorly seated fuses from the factory that it doesn't hurt to check.
