Our 2012 needed a new battery. We have the diesel and the original lasted nine years so I'm not complaining. I bought a replacement battery and installed it and then had the battery "registered" so the vehicle would know. Unfortunately, my wife realized the c/d player will not work and all...

Hello everyone! I'm new here - great to find this forum. Please go gentle on me! I've just bought a 2005 X5 from a mate who only had it for a few months. There are a few minor issues. I hoped to maybe group them together here, but if mods would prefer that I split them out (or if there are...

I backed into a pole with my 2007 550I and didn't have insurance. It seems to be much more economical to part out the car so I have been but I haven't had the time, so I still have almost every part (except the interior seats, bumpers, and headlights) Color is Silver Grey Metallic. 71,000...

Hey guys, ive googled so many things about my bmw that i bought recently and i always end up on this forum with great answers so i finally decided to make an account for this question because i can not find it anywhere. I recently bought a 1993 525i for 250$. Runs great, i got a great deal. But...

Hi, I recently got a BMW 520 E39 (year 2000) and I really like the car. The BMW has a so-called Business CD Player (it's written on the CD player) and since yesterday I got problems with it after I cut a wire. When I first got the car a couple of days ago, the previous owner did something with...

Hi All, I've been having issues with consistency with my mp3 cd's in my 2006 530i's dash cd player (iDrive). Here are the two problems: 1) When burning mp3 cds (I use iTunes), sometimes my cd's will have folders i.e. artist, album, songs and sometimes its just a big list of all the songs. I'm...

Hi I drive a 2003 bmw 530i sport package. Recenlty I have been having major problems that have been getting worse every week. At first my alarm would always go off for no reason and I ended up disconnecting radio which solved the issue. I have now installed a poineer touchscreen headunit, which...

Dear fellow BMW owners, I own a 1997 BMW 528i. I bought it used about three years ago. It runs great, but starting this past winter (at the coldest time here in New Hampshire) the CD player no longer plays CD's. It will say on the display on the dashboard "NO DISCS", so it won't...

Has anyone else had this problem I have a 08 535i my audio stopped working all together, the nav and cd player still work when I put in a cd it shows that it is playing but no sound, I also cant click on FM/AM stations they are grey, also when you put in the key it doesn't ding at all, my SOS...

Ok... so after buying my car.. half way from cali to arkansas the sound went out.. I've checked the coils and even tried to do a reset. Then after taking it to a friend who owns a sound shop he said it was my amp. So, I'm looking for one at a decent price. All these on ebay, going for 500 is a...

The title speaks for itself. I have a 525D 2006 saloon. I have a problem and wonder if anyone knows how to solve it or even what the cause of the problem is. The fault started with the radio losing stations occasionally along with the clock and trip etc going back to 12:00 and 0miles etc. It...

this morning i inserted a cd in the player slot and listened to it. left it in the slot when i parked the car. later in the day i got back into the car, started it and pressed the eject cd button. the cd didn't come out. i can play the cd, switch to radio (works fine), then back to cd mode...

Have 2004 330Ci convert and recently two cd's got jammed in the player. (Aliens?) dealers approach was to totally replace the system. Any ideas? Thanks

Somehow two cd's got jammed in CD player . BMW's response was typical and expensive; e.g. Total replacement with a new system. Since it is a 2004 330 Ci with a Nav system, the number is pretty large. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi, Two more questions from Turnip. 325 XI 2004. # 1 CD player no longer takes or ejects CD. Is it toast? Or is it repairable? # 2 Windshielp wipers in front of car hit hard by accumulated ice/snow from surprise storm and so no longer go all the way back down, they stay about a inch or...

Hey Folks, I recently installed the aux cable at the back of the business cd player head unit in my 2004 325i. But when I connect my phone (songs playing), to the aux input, the AUX mode rarely shows up when cycling through the modes. Most of the time it just shows FM and CD. so far I've had...

This problem has started with the radio not working and now the cd player won't recognize the CDs in the magazine. Would cleaning the cd player work or does this sound electrical? It's an all original sound system and hasn't been taken out or altered. I need some music! Help!

I have recently got my first BMW a 2000 528i, it has a six cd changer in the trunk that acts weird. It plays one of my burnt CDs but does not play any other of them that i have put in. These are normal burnt CDs not mp3 CDs and I have no idea why they won't play. Is there some weird format that...
