Just driving to work and pressed a button on the 8.4” touchscreen and my audio went ‘scratchy.’ Everything sounded tinny and scratchy, like in a tin can with terrible distortion. Best I can describe it.

I tried CarPlay, AM, FM, and many Sirius stations, it was all the same. I shut down once at work and did a few power cycles, but it was the same.

Anyone else experience this sort of thing?

Common issue. Hold down the volume button and tuner button on the dials for 20 seconds and you can reset the u connect system. Should fix your issue.

It should also restart once the vehicle is parked for a longer period (I think >30 minutes), but I forgot about the volume & tuner trick!

Yeah, went out to the parking lot 4-5 hours later and checked it all out. Was working fine. Same on the drive home.
