I have a 2003 x5 and the radio won't turn on. I had my mechanic do a scan but it won't comunicate with the radio.Fuses are ok. GPS works but no audio. Any suggestions Replies to this message: tidester (Aug 04, 2009 8:47 pm)

Replying to: helping2 (Aug 04, 2009 8:10 pm) The radio may have an internal fuse that has blown. Your mechanic may be able to test that. Also, whenever a fuse is blown it is important to determine what caused that condition in the first place. tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper

Replaced the battery in my 2002 525i and now the radio MID is completely dead. No code request - nothing displays. Checked the fuse on the radio and its ok. Any suggestions? Replies to this message: tidester (Nov 18, 2009 9:50 pm)

Replying to: mlaspina (Nov 18, 2009 8:32 pm) Your radio may have an anti-theft device that triggers when the radio (battery) is disconnected. If so, your dealer would be able to reset it. tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper
