2005 model dvd rear entertainment plays no sound and wireless headphones not wor

Post by daveyz » Fri Jan 25, 2013 12:45 pm

i have recently purchased my first x5 2005 3.0d
it has rear dvd entertainment etc. but i can't figure out how the wireless headphones work. i have tried what i think is everything. inc batteries but they wont pick up the wireless signal and paly any sound.
the headphones ar Blacpunkt IVHS-01 and the on button LED lights up which make sme think there working.
the wireless transmitter is all plugged in however it has no lights etc to show it is working. i have tried getting the sound through the radio buy looking through the DVD setting and the radio setting but no luck.
Any help or advice would be appreciated on how it works

thanks.

does your transmitter light up when its on. ive checked all the wiring, well what i can see lol. does the button just active the sound through the radio or dose it do the headphones aswell?
