Title: Radio Code Issue?
Post by: toboi on June 24, 2014, 12:07:49 PM

Does anyone else here need to enter their radio code every time you start the car? It prompts for the code every time for me.

Sounds like the radio is not wired to a constant 12V source.

Thanks, I will pull the radio and search for the problem.

Check your fuses too. IIRC some BMW stereos had internal fuses as well as one or two in the fuse box.

Yeah, turns out it is a blown fuse in the fuse box. Replaced and problem was fixed. Thanks for all the help!
