Correct. You have a BM54.

Radio service mode can confirm what model radio it is. Enter the service mode and look for the AREA setting.
If you see an AREA setting, it is a BM54

To enter service mode:
BM53 withWidescreenMonitor PRIOR to 9/01
1. Turn the radio on.
2. Within 8 seconds, press the 'INFO' button.
3. From the Info screen, select RDS (choose PTY on E38).
4. Press and hold the BM control knob (right side knob) for at least 8 seconds.
5. Scroll through functions using the station search buttons "< >".
6. Turn the radio off to leave the service mode.

BM53 withWidescreenMonitor AFTER 9/01
1. Turn the radio on.
2. Immediately press and hold the 'Select' button for at least 8 seconds. The screen will switch to Service Mode.
3. The screen will now show the serial number of the radio.
4. Use the "< >" buttons to select the desired service function.
5. Selections for the desired service function can be made by using the radio station preset buttons #1-6.
6. Turn the radio off to leave the service mode.

Thanks, I could not seem to get that info with a google search, must have been using bad search terms.

OK so next step is to check the radio and firmware.

(I'd love to get an Aux cable up the front of the car.. )

Again Thanks.
