I guess I'll force a check on my 2025 HTC Stingray. It has not received any updates since I bought it last September. I'm getting really tired of the radio cutting out so much when I first start driving it. I am hoping that eventually gets fixed with a firmware update.

I forced a check Sunday on my 23 SR and nothing was available. This was after sitting on a tender since the beginning of November untouched.

Have you been back to the dealer about this. I think you might have defect. Can you say more about this issue?

What music source are you using when this happens? Some have reported drop outs when playing music from their phone via the wireless connection to the car. That's not unique to the 2025, and is sometimes traced to interference. If it is via the wireless connection, you could try connecting via the cable and see if it goes away.

I have the same issue. I’ll see if it still occurs when I take it out today, since I just installed the software update I received yesterday.

It happens to me regardless of the audio source. Whether I’m using Sirius XM or streaming Pandora Using CarPlay. After about five minutes it stops dropping out and doesn’t reoccur. I find it a minor inconvenience. Not worth a trip to the dealer.

I just took it out for a drive with no audio dropout. The problem is I can’t remember if the dropouts occurred every single time I drove the car. I’ll have to follow up. Going to be in the garage on the battery tender for a while as it’s going to rain the next few days and then snow over the weekend.

Same here, I finally had a successful install on 624.30 when outdoors. So now I know to do installs outside in the driveway, not in the garage.
