Hello all,
I have a '98 328iC (shipped from Germany) with the HK sound system. The radio has worked fine since the day I bought it four years ago, but recently the audio has stopped working. The radio turns on like normal, but there is no audio coming out whatsoever. I tried plugging my iPod in to see if it was something with the AM/FM tuner, but still nothing. I've tried taking the radio out of the dash completely, and even disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, but nothing has worked.

I'm sure the speakers can't be blown seeing as this did happen a few days before it completely stopped.

Can anyone help?

Sounds like you blew your amp.

Isn't there a switch to turn the amp on ? Does it still not produce sound with the HK system off ?

I haven't tried that... unfortunately I don't even know where the amp is located.
I'm guessing it's somewhere in the trunk?

I believe it's behind the rear seat backrest mounted to the bulkhead , that just pulls out once you've removed the headrests .
