head unit showing radio stations etc?

if the head unit seems OK may be a blown fuse for the amp- i'd start by checking all of the fuses.

mos likely it is your amp is dieing. mine died in pretty curious way - it started to do a very low frequency static discharges on all speakers. did it a bit, then for a month it was all fine, then it repeated and never went away.
i got it replaced by warranty.

Amp is dying... It will probably continue to do it intermittently.
I decided at the time to choose the exhaust note over fixing the amp. (2001 Boxster S)

hmm.. will a scan determine this? Now that it's working, if I bring the car in, how will they know that the amp is dying?

I highly suggest waiting until the problem is occurring.
If you can't bring it in at that time, I'd suggest a recording of what you hear... that should clue the tech guys in sufficiently.

most likely not. electronics are covered by original warranty. your mileage may vary - tell your service manager problem started when car had original warranty and then was coming back and going away, may be something will work out.

if not - just buy damn thing yourself, replacement amp is somewhat $150 or so.

Get this issue on record with your dealership and work something out... I don't believe the CPO will cover the amp, so try the dealership first... Good luck!
