after a long time having the E46 M3 parked up, the orange light to indicate on the stereo doesnt come on, therefore i dont have any sort of sound outpur and its annoying me. in london here we have the nice sun and im sat watching a tv with no sound. all the menues on the main screen appear, for instance the GPRS NAV, COMPUTER,CD,TV.
can anyone help me do you know what the fault might be?
cheers

i havent had no replies as too why this problem occures, maybe its a one off but im glad you all havent had an issue with this before

Well, it might be a silly response, but have you tried pushing the button? Your radio is doing exactly what mine does when I turn the radio off using that button with the orange light...

I have heard two explinations...not sure of either

1) that if you are using Bluetooth to connect a cell phone that you are roaming

2) that you have lost connection with that cell phone to the nave head unit..

Might be way off, but that is what I have heard

Best of luck

Pop fuses 7 and 42 wait 10 minutes and then replace, then try, if still nothing then your bm54 sounds like its dead.

This works. No idea why mine did it the other day (a friend used the valet key being the only other variable that I'm aware of), and I wound up pulling the
fuses listed above for about 30 sec and all was well. I had checked that everything was getting power in teh trunk, etc., before checking the fuses. Wish I'd have seen this then, as I was a bit worried... :o

I am currently experiencing this same problem and unfortunately it has been a nightmare to troubleshoot. Pulling fuses has worked for some, but not for me.

So far I have replace my nav computer (nav was dead too), radio module and amp. Still no audio. I have narrowed it down to the switched power wire, but still do not know where the issue actually lies. Only component left is the actual monitor. I'm about to give up and take it to the dealer.

FYI, my issue stemmed from a jump start.
