Clan, any idea why a low battery would cause this? Could this mean the battery is on the way out?

Cheers.

A Ctek battery charger will tell you if there is something wrong with the battery.

My Ctek has just told me there was a problem with mine and I replaced it although it was starting the car fine and the garage's tester indicated it had a full charge. I had noticed that the voltage in the RSE supply circuit was dropping to 9.5 volts when the car was turning the starter motor, (It was causing the media player to turn off) but I didn't know if that was normal for an XC90. It isn't for most other cars. Anyway the Ctek is happy with the new battery. The old one was 9 years old by the way.
