:Hi All,

The radio goes out for a split second on my 6 series, and then it comes right back on. It looks like I'm losing current on my car, but only for a split second.
Anyone has experienced this problem or knows what it may be the cause of it?

Thanks in advance,

I had this it sound of pops goes off then comes back on, I did an Idrive reset which helped but never got to the bottom of it, but it was so rare I just ignored or tried to work out if it was in conjunction with something else switching on!!

CCC is the Car Communications Computer. It's the same on 645/650 till '09 when the new CIC was released.

You need a BMW specialist to determine what modules/section needs to be replaced.

Most modules require programing so the car recognizes it.

On a 2006, you have a CID - this is the computer that controls all of the iDrive functions. Here is a BMW factory parts company listing for original equipment http://www.getbmwparts.com/parts/20...=&searchText=navigation&startRow=11&maxRow=10 After you install - Then take the car over to your shop and let them code the new unit. Make sure that they have the optical interface / without it, they can not code. It's about 1.5 hours - the install is 20 minutes but remove your DVD and CD first ... if you can.

If the Nav system & the Radio do this early every morning, I would say you have a bad or weak battery. I saw mine do this for months before I changed the battery. After changing the battery, I have not seen it happen since! :dunno: I would never suspect a bad battery to do this, but this is a BMW!
