My 1994 325is radio died this weekend. The head unit still turns on, controls the changer but no sound at all comes out of the speaker. I tried changing the head unit, still having the same problem, radio seems to work, but no sound comes out. I changed the 2 fuses for the radio, still no sound.
With the age of the car, my first thought is the amplifier, since neither radio produce sound. Check in the drivers rear of the trunk area for an amplifier. It should be behind the carpeted panels. I also would like to know if the new one is stock or aftermarket.

It sound s like the amp went bad. my advice is go to a local car audio shop and swing around back to the install bay. Tell the guy you want to bypass the stock amp in the car. Usually they will charge anywhere from 35-50 dollars. but to be honest it won't sound the same. you will brobably want to get a 4ch amp. I recommend a diamond D3 300.4. 50 watts X 4ch of really clean power. let me know how it goes. I worked in the car audio area for 2yrs.
