This sounds like Service Measure B65 209 04 (FM mode switching from Stereo to Mono/fading in and out)

There was a technical service bulletin for fading FM stereo reception on cars with navigation with the BM53 tuner. The fix is to replace the BM53 tuner in the trunk. Reference service bulletin #B65-209-04 with your dealer.

Mine seems to be having this issue (almost sounds like a speaker is dropping out, but I never thought of it as possibly changing to mono mode). I don't recall noticing the issue when it's playing a CD, for example.

Would this service bulletin still apply? Would this be repaired for free or because it's no longer under warranty would I have to pay for it?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
