SOS Malfunction.. No Radio, No Bluetooth, nothing is working

Caruso0644 · 05-20-2011, 01:43 PM

So i got my car back today from the body shop ( Had the M-Tech Rear Bumper put on), and the only thing i have coming out of my speakers is a static/ruffling noise. Try to put on the ipod, doesnt work... Try the Radio, doesnt work... nothing works, not even my bluetooth. Anyone have any clue what this could be?

Assuming you have idrive, try pressing both ejection buttons and the power button at the same time

Yes i do have I-Drive... What Power button do you speak of? the push button start?

This has happened to me twice. Both times, idrive has reset itself after I drove a while (maybe 10-15 minutes). It's annoying, but doesn't appear to be a fatal problem.

No, he's talking about the radio power button.

Really, I drove a while with it like that and nothing reset? I stopped at the dealer Friday and they said they think they have to reprogram the car?

Well, that's no good at all. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you at the dealer. I assume this would be covered by warranty.

Yeah it covered under warranty, its at the dealer now and when i dropped it off they said they think they just need to reinstall or update the programming?
