#824 of 831 1997 740 il RADIO PROBLEMS by nohandle

Dec 29, 2012 (2:43 pm)

MY RADIO WILL COME ON AND THE NEXT TIME I TURN OFF THE CAR IT WILL NOT WORK. MAYBE FOR MONTHS. EVERY NOW AND THEN I'LL GET IN THE CAR START IT AND THE RADIO WORKS TURN ON THE LIGHTS, HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL IT GOES OFF. THE CASSETTE DOES NOT PLAY EITHER. THE CD CARTRIDGE WAS STUCK IN THE CD PLAYER AND I HAD TO PRY THE HELL OUT OF IT TO REMOVE IT. IT ACTS LIKE IT IS A WIRE LOOSE SOMEWHERE BUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE TO START OR HOW TO GET TO THE BACK OF THE RADIO/CASSETTE WITHOUT TEARING THE WHOLE DASH OUT. HAVE THE DEALER LOOK AT IT IS LIKE GIVING YOUR CHECKBOOK TO A CHECK FRAUD ARTIST. NOT SAYING THEY ARE CROOKS, JUST TOO EXPENSIVE. I REALLY NEED SOMEONE TO ADVISE ME WHERE TO LOOK AND HOW TO GET THERE. AS WITH ALL VEHICLES THEY HAVE THINGS THAT ARE COMMON PROBLEMS IN A SERIES OR MODEL RUN. A DEALER GUY THAT DEALS WITH THEM ALL DAY COULD PROBABLY TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT IT IS, BUT THEY DON'T LET YOU TALK TO THEM GUYS. IT'S AGREAT CAR BUT IS MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE WITH MUSIC. NOHANDLE

I have a 2002 745i with 100K miles. I got an extended warranty mailer, thru a dealer, for 2 years, basically covering only mechnical parts, not electronics which control most of the functions in the car. Does anybody has experience with such a warranty for over $3K? I had problems before with both electronics and mechnaical.
