2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E audio randomly broke after sitting parked for 2 hours — startup chimes sound different too?
I have a 2025 Mustang Mach-E Premium AWD ER and I’m trying to figure out if this sounds software related or something more serious.
Car drove completely normal to the store and had zero issues. Sat parked for about 2 hours (not charging).
Came back and:
startup/power button chimes sounded higher pitched / different than normal
CarPlay connects but no audio
Bluetooth audio doesn’t work either
Radio opens but says “Audio Off”
Volume knob changes volume but I can’t change stations or use seek
Sound settings menu is grayed out
SYNC reboot (volume down + seek right on steering wheel) rebooted screen but didn’t fully fix it
Turn signal and parking sensor sounds still work (although parking beep sounds like a slightly different tone)
No warning lights, car drives completely normal otherwise.
Has anyone had this happen? Did it fix itself after sleep/reset or end up needing service?
