#1 of 6 Radio Issue by parrow Jun 05, 2007 (12:28 pm)
What am I missing?   I have an 02 5 series (e39), and recently jump started and then replaced the battery. Immediately following the replacement, the radio and cd do not work. The computer works, the clock works, but not the radio or cd. I've owned other bmw's in which a radio code had to be entered. According to my manual, my model has no such code. The dealer confirmed this. I checked the fuses and they are not blown.   Is there a trick to restarting the radio after a battery change? Could the jump start or battery change have caused a problem with the radio? I suppose it could be purely coincidental, but that does not seem likely.   I'd appreciate any thoughts. Thanks.

You should have radio security code paperwork with your owner's manual.
#3 of 6 Installing DVD player in 5 series by logan10 Jul 12, 2007 (9:48 am)
I was hoping to get some feedback from BMW 5 series drivers with a recent DVD installation. I have an 2006 5 series with the media screen. I'm looking to install a DVD player for front passenger. I was told that the current screen/monitor will not be replaced, but cut-outs for on & off switches and the DVD player itself is required.   Q. Opinion on DVD installation? Q. Does it de-value the overall resale value? Q. Is the install a clean one? Q. What is the recommended location for the DVD player?   Any comments would be appreciated.   Logan10

#5 of 6 Storing station and RSD by sls1 Jan 13, 2008 (8:33 am)
New 530i has RSD feature which displays artist and song in dash. However, after I stored the station into the preset and activated RSD feature it stored the artist in the preset instead of the station. Everytime I go to presets it says alicia keys instead of station. Anyone know how to correct that glitch?
#6 of 6 Radio/Amplifier on 1987 528 e malfunction by bvogelsberg Oct 25, 2008 (2:42 am)
My 1987 528 e, which I purchased 4 months ago has a problem w/ the radio. When I turn it on, I can just barely hear the music, in all 6 speakers. I replaced the amplifier, and the music is only a little be louder, w/ the engine running, I can barely hear the music with the volume all the way up. The appears to be a ground connection to the back of the amp which has no visible wire to connect to it. Does it really have a ground wire? Could the radio be the problem, even though it has power, tunes in stations, all speakers have some music coming through them?
