Yeah, that was my conclusion too based on what I've read online. Is there any way I can narrow it down to what one of those issues it could be? (I'm assuming a much more expensive code reader!)

Hi guys My 2012 E89 has a odd roof issue... but only sometimes. I've probably used the roof about 50 times since I've had the car and recently hit 3 issues. The first was trying to open the roof with the key. Started ok, windows went down, back window lifted, boot opened - the it froze. I then...

Thanks for the reply. Any idea why something so simple would alter the way the radio turns itself on? I've asked a auto-electrical place that fitted the radio originally for ideas - he suggested its somehow got out of sync with the ignition of the car. So recommended turning the ignition on...

Hi guys I have an aftermarket radio fitted (long story!) and never had problems with it. (Its the Blaupunkt Stockholm 400DAB) Normally, I unlock the car, put the key in the ignition and then the radio comes on. Take the key out, radio shuts off. Yesterday I received a bluetooth call through...

That’s a good point! I’ll take the unit out when I get a moment and have a look. Still if it has blown, need to find out what caused it. I’m guessing the yellow key light…

I had a look at the fuse box under the glove compartment and they all seemed fine. Just realised there’s another fuse in the back of the head unit too so I’ll have to unscrew that and check that out I agree with your thoughts.. the yellow key symbol has done something. I thought maybe it’s cut...

I have the Creator C410 reader - but no faults came up at all. The old OEM head unit was fine, it was the amp that blew before but had to replace both the head unit and the amp as just a new amp wasn’t compatible with the OEM head unit (unless I did a straight swap and fork out £2500) - the...

Great minds, sir! I’ve literally just this second tried that, but no joy. Disconnected for about 20 mins, reconnected - but nothing. It’s bizarre.

Battery was brand new when I picked the car up a couple of months back but I’ll see if I can get it checked regardless All other electrics seem fine. Luckily it’s still under warranty from when he put the new radio unit in a few weeks back… but he can’t have a look at it for another week so...

Should have added… I have a code reader and it comes back with no faults….

Hey guys Another audio failure for me! About a month back, I had the issue with the MOST amplifier not working which was quoted at a £2500 repair/replace I opted for the alternate solution - a new amp and headunit (Blaupunkt Stockholm 400) - which for the last month has worked fine.. Until I...

Thanks guys - bought the 410 and it arrived today so will be checking that out tomorrow 👍

Thanks, i'll check that one out... Appreciate the responses, as always

Update on this. Went out this morning and the roof opened first time with no issues. Can't really make sense of it as I tried 6 or 7 times last night Question to anyone who can help: Are the rain sensors on the car linked to the roof? I had washed the car a few hours earlier and thinking about...

Yep. A code reader is needed. I have standard OBD2 ones but that’s not cutting it. Can you recommend one that I need? Cheers
