i have just recently got a 1997 528i , the car drives lovely , i have only one problem . i am unable to get any sound from the cd palyer . the radio works as does the tape player . the cd stacker is in the boot . I have checked to see if im putting the cds in the write way . The cds play and change , but no sound . My question is this , is this an easy thing to fix or do i see a dealer ? .
If it is easy what do i do . many thanks ghead
Do you have DSP (digital sound processor) ? If so then there is a mini coax that transmits the sound from the cd to the amp, make sure it is connected. If you dont have dsp then the 6 pin connector on the back of the cd changer is what carries the speaker signals. Of course always check all fuses as a preliminary measure then go from there.
