All sounds are inop including the park assist, this only happens sometimes , well most of the time.. Have any idea what It might be now? Another thing that may help you eliminate some is only FM AM WB and TONE are highlighted, the CD and CD changer on the screen are faded and only work when my tuner works.it does not chime when inserting the key in. The navigation is giving me a blank screen. ...

Also sometimes the roller that controls the audio loosens up and does not respond to my hand movements, and sometimes when first turning on the vehicle on the display screen it shows KOMMUNICATION, Ent. Etc. In different spelling before having to click ACCEPT, after hitting accept everything adjusts but still no sounds. Sometimes and all the time when it does work speakers crack and snap.

So basically I need to change the control module? But some of those symptoms do not match up with what my car is giving off, my screen does not flickler and flash..I'd appreciate it if someone can call me at 1347-322-7616 and make my life a lot easier, thanks bmw tech.

Hey BMW_tech, Today my battery completely drained so I purchased a new one with hopes that the snapping sound from my speakers would go away. It didn't! Since installing the new battery, I noticed that the control panel display (and radio) would not turn off after I completely removed the key. This is probably what drained my battery! I located the MOST bus in the glove box that you ...

Okay I have narrowed my problem down to the NAV system. I noticed this morning that the DVD Nav in my trunk will not shutdown when the car is off and the key is removed. This also makes my control panel stay on sometimes. I think now that the NAV is not shutting down has caused my last car battery to completely go dead. I removed the 10Amp fuse to the NAV (CDC,on-board display panel) in the trunk and now everything shuts down normally....

SO did anyone figure out a solution or are we gonna sit here and complain? I say we all team up find a good electronic repair shop (location is wtv) maybe they can give a good deal if we can send 10 amps to them to fix. i am pretty sure the amp is the majority cause of the problems and from my research it cost cheaper to fix it rather to replace it. and if we can do a group type of deal with a shot it will cost us much less. so let me know if...

My amp just went out...again. I had a new one installed by a member here a couple months ago. It worked fine since then but now it makes some low modulating noise, and the bass is all gone. Last time my amp went out, all the Logic 7 settings in the idrive were greyed out and couldn't be adjusted. This time I can still adjust the settings. Could it just need to be programmed by the dealer, or should I get a new amp...again? I don't...
