2008 BMW 535i radio not working quick fix

[@BillGhighi]

Works like a charm. Thank you! Have you heard about this issue potentially causing a false check engine light? I haven’t been able to find a conclusive answer. The light went away once fixed, but I haven’t driven it since.

[@Marty09933]

Hi @@BillGhighi you’re very welcome brother. So glad to hear it worked for you. No I don’t know if that would cause a check engine light but if it went away, it probably fixed it just drive it and see. Thank you so much for watching. I really appreciate you.

Very nice video mate. I have no sound either in my e60 from 2005. Did you have any fault codes in you ecu? The pre owner put in an Android system.. If I want to go in my original menu, there only comes the BMW boot logo. Even my Idrive knob isn´t working properly. Will already change it out to see if it works. I also have CCC fault in my ecu. Ecerything else is working fine on the android. Any suggestions what else it could be?

Hi Steve Romeo the only thing that showed up was the sos fault on I drive . This is usually for the satellite radio but maybe check on the TCU or amplifier. That’s the only thing I can tell you sorry. Thanks for watching I appreciate you
