Did you get an answer? Im still driving around with no music! Driving me insane! Just me and my thoughts! LOL.

No reply yet... I'm quite sure that there is nothing really wrong, maybe a blown fuse inside the module (protecting the built-in amp) or something like that...

Honestly I was going to "take a look"...but I dont even know where to start! LOL. It sucks not listening to music...I guess I could have bigger issues, its just annoying. Im going to call my inde BMW shop and see if they have any suggestions.

I still can't believe that all these expensive radio modules having the same problems -no sound after some big noises- are worn out... Problem with BMW (compared to other brands) is that it seems that nobody wants to spend time anymore to solve the problem apart replacing the suspect part by a new one! Makes me think about all these dealers (and owners sometimes) replacing O2 sensors, throttle body, HT coils, DISA and ICV valves while it was sufficient to look at the well known and considerably cheaper solutions like cracked intake boot or OS hoses... Although I'm quite sure that I'd like to get one of these 2 din brand new radios, I'm going to open my old (and faithfull until now!) radio and get a look at it.

Still no answer on my side. To be completely honest I haven't taken the time to look at it. Especially with the holidays...

Did u get a chance to open yours up to find a solution? Let me know because I really want to get this fixed!

Thanks!

To be honest... I didn't get the time to do it exactly for the same reasons! ;) + that I had to work 2 days on the vehicle before Christmas to change some fluids, cam sensors, fuel filter, etc as a preventative maintenance and also a OS hose (which didn't had much clearance due to the LPG injectors in the way).
I got a very kind and fast reply from Halston (BSW) though as I was looking for alternatives if my radio is really fried, however I have an europen system (different than the US one) and BSW doesn't has something to replace it.
So, still to do it when I will get some free time. I just would have receive an answer from someone involved at BMW or in an audio shop to know if the output of the radios are protected by some fuses, it would have been very helpful... :confused:
