My "07 BMW 530xi has no sound coming out of the speakers. The onboard NAV and CD player work but there isn't even a ding from the seat belt reminder. When I take a 30 fuse out of the dash and then put it back in it works until I cut off my car. What is causing this? PLEASE HELP!!! I'm no longer covered by BMW's warranty!

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My stereo all of the sudden stopped playing sound. How can I fix this myself? Why does pulling the NAV fuse out and putting it back in make it work?

You will need to start by scanning the computers in your vehicle. This is not something you are going to be able to repair with out BMW specific scanning capabilities. There are numerous independent BMW repair facilities that can help you. We are one in Cleveland OH. Larchmere Imports. If you are not from this area you should be able to do some research online and find a reputable independent in your area.

I am also an independent bmw repair facility, i have had some cases like this but it is true what my colleague said. without the proper equipment you won't be able to work on this. But one question, Does the cd player works? because if its only the radio that does not sounds it could be an little module on the c pillar that is an amplifier for the antenna. if the cd doesn't emit any sound it is very unlike that this is your problem.
