Back in 2016 I was driving home listening to music through Bluetooth connection and it all of a sudden started skipping kind of like a scratched cd. I turned off Bluetooth and tried the radio and same thing. I had also gotten a call through shortly after it started and I couldn't talk through the Bluetooth.

I got home and messed around with it and discovered that if I had the balance put to my 2 rear speakers the music wouldn't skip but I still couldn't take calls through the Bluetooth. Fast forward to about May 2017 it starts skipping again in the back so I messed with the balance and fade and I could get it to work on all my right side speakers.

Now go to July 2018 it skips once again. I set it to my front right speaker and its good. I now currently have just that one speaker. Had a theory that the speakers blew but we swapped the front left speaker which was the first to experience skipping with my good right side speaker and it definitely isn't a blown speaker because it works just as well. Every time my driver side door closes the radio skips, every time i hit a pothole or have to go hard on brakes it skips. Sometimes it skips for no reason at all. Granted those skips are just short ones and music continues as normal after but I want my whole system back!
