Ka Audio System Failure

My 2011 Ford Ka with a gasoline engine is giving me grief. The audio system is completely dead – no sound whatsoever. There's also an error stored in the memory, according to my cheap OBD reader. I checked the fuses, and they seem fine. It's like the whole thing just went belly up. Any ideas?

A 2011 Ford Ka's audio system is completely non-functional, with no sound or display activity, and an error code indicating an 'audio system malfunction.' The fuses have been checked and are fine, suggesting the issue might be more complex. A similar case revealed that a defective display unit was the cause, requiring professional diagnosis and replacement. Seeking professional help is advised to confirm the issue and explore repair options.

Sounds familiar! I had a similar issue with my Ka (petrol too). Radio, CD, Bluetooth, the whole sound system just quit. Is it like someone muted the car? Have you tried fiddling with the volume control? Is there any sign of life on the display at all?

Exactly! Like someone hit the mute button on the whole car! The volume control does nothing, and the display is totally blank. The error code I pulled was vague, just something about 'audio system malfunction'. Did your symptoms match? Did you figure out what was causing it?

Yep, that's exactly what happened to mine. Blank display, no sound, nothing. Sadly, I couldn't fix it myself. Turned out the display unit itself was defective, according to the workshop. Cost me an arm and a leg to replace. You should probably get it checked out by a professional.

Thanks for the info! Sounds like I'm headed for the same expensive fate. I was hoping it was just a loose connection or something simple, but a defective display makes sense. I'll book it in for a proper diagnosis. Appreciate the help!
