Speakers blown out, crazy static. Working now.

[thenotoriousrob]

Was backing out of a parking spot, Bluetooth on and connected to my phone. Very minimal volume, listening to sports radio on XM app.
About 10 seconds into backing up I thought someone crashed into me when every speaker went nuclear. Full volume static until I was able to park again and turn ignition and power off. Static kept going even with no power.
Every speaker was making a loud static noise for about 6 minutes. Then went silent.
Restarted and speakers working. Ears feel like they're blown out now from that volume.
Not sure what happened or what would have happened had I been driving on the road in traffic.
Didn't see anything mentioned , so I'm posting it here for thoughts.
Video of the static from center speaker after about 3 minutes. Again, no power.
Maybe the speakers were bleeding off excess power from the amp? Scared the crap out of me.

Hi there, I'd be happy to look into your Bronco concerns on my end. Will you send us a message with your VIN and dealership info? I can look into things on my end.

Could be in relation to the issue people are experiencing due to the update Ferd released

This happened to me tonight too. Crazy that it continued even after turning the Bronco off. I feel like I noticed a subtle odor, nothing strong, kind of like one of those ozone air cleaners after it made the static noise. Did you notice any smell too?

Just normal, overly complicated electronic systems made cheaply these days. Get used to glitches. Smell was probably speaker voice coil getting hot. Went on any longer it would start smoking.

Hi there! I can look into your Bronco's speaker 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?

Mine just did the same thing this evening and it was incredibly jarring. All the way home, and continued doing it with the car off and in the garage. Not sure about next steps and supposed to be leaving on a road trip in a few days.

Unhook the negative terminal from the battery for about 5 minutes.

Hook it back up. Place a trickle charger on the battery over night - ensuring the negative goes to either chassis ground or that small tab on the post -- not on the negative post of the battery itself.

That fixes most random weird electrical stuff by rebooting all the computers and ensuring the battery is fully charged.

Same thing! About a month ago. Was told by service department that nothing could be done unless it happens while they have it in their care. Ridiculous. Even though I told them I have a video.
