No FM Radio Reception

[rmcbroomjr]

I have the factory indash Navigation system in my 2002 X5 4.6is. My radio will no longer tune an FM station. I only get static or white noise when I turn up the volume and scan for a radio station. However, I can tune and listen to AM stations as well as play and listen to CDs from my CD changer. The Navigation system also works perfectly. I have tried disconnecting the battery but that did not work. Please advise.

Sounds like an antenna failure. AM signals frequently use a different antenna system as the wavelengths are longer so it may be that the VHF (FM) antenna connection has gone faulty?

I think it all works off the left rear window, or tailgate spoiler, but how the connection runs to the receiver itself I'm not sure of. There is certsinly a module in the LHS of the trunk area

Thanks - I came to the same conclusion and did remove the rear window spoiler to check the connections. Everything looked ok. I will continue troubleshooting until my next scheduled service
