Problems with Radio

E's 09335i · 01-02-2011, 05:47 PM

Thanks for all the great information here. Last month I bought my 2nd BMW -an 09 335I CPO with Sport. The peformance over my 04 330i is significant. Wondering if anyone has experienced the following : For the 3rd time my Radio would not turn on for no real reason. I'll turn the car off and when I start it back up it's fine. Any ideas would be appreciated.

A break in your MOST system can freeze any components within it. If it isn't permanent/frequent I wouldn't worry about it.
Try refitting all your connections under your trunk floor and under the left trunk liner.

MY 2009 328i sedan loaner did that to me this morning.

Do you have idrive? If so it could be a symptom of a Idrive boot problem. Best place to post this however is in the radio/ electronics section.

its probably just a blown fuse. it happened to me as well. suggest not taking it in to BMW to get it fixed tho because they think u tampered with the car and charge you for labor

A blown fuse wouldn't allow the radio to work after a restart as the OP claims.

The Stereo still powers up, just won't play, and I don't have iDrive. The car has logic 7 and it came with Comfort Access. Just got back from a run tonight and it was fine again.
