Started new job today, woohoo.....Radio's packed up boohoo.....
Satnav,telly, phone everythings fine. Headunit will open up and take and eject a cassette, but none of the radio controls will work. Wont turn on,nish.
Usual ctrl,alt,del(disconnect battery/remove and refit radio module?)

Yeap, Ibus reset. Happened to someone else on this forum I think???

Oh and if it works that'll be 3 pints, 2 whiskeys and a mango! Made payable at the meet!

3 pints for pewters,2 whiskeys and a plaster for x555 and mango for you

Burn it and claim on the insurance

Sure fire way of getting one with proper alloys

My kids spotted the cassete reciever in the headunit the other day when i was fiddleing with the eject button (whilst bored shi@:>s waiting outside tesco's) and they both said 'whats that dad' to which i replied 'its a tape player' they then both looked at me like i was an alien of some sort and said 'whats a tape'
I don't think my kids have ever seen a video tape either only dvd's

But how cool is that moving screen though.

Yeah its a really cool little trick... would have been much better if it had a CD slot behind though. I think they did these on the later model E46/E39 but not for the X5 as they have a different viewing angle. Unfortunate!

I hate this car now.....No bloody sound now on satnav, not such a bad thing as she does grate after a while...no sound on the phone or the soddin telly and still cant turn the frigin' stereo on....But on a good note I did get the speedo to say 140mph today Obviously not on a public highway

You checked the BM54 or 24 in yours? Get that radio module out - try cleaning the connectors - long shot, I know...

If you have the 24 you have round pins, thin pins is the 54. 54 is harder to fix - some BS on eBay about a fix but PM me instead.

24 can be re-soldered. It's dry joints and accessibility on them - only if they're at fault though. But RCM is the source of audio...

Oh and did you try a battery disconnect/re-connect?

Yeah mate ta. Will whip out the rcm. Had it out in July when I fitted new digi tv tuner might have upset her then...
