Speakers went out...

[BB_cornelius]

Hey guys the speakers in my M3 keeps dying out, has anyone experienced this? This has happened several times, it completely dies out with no sound coming from the speakers then after a few days or sometimes hours it returns to normal again.

I don't know if this is relevant or not but I think should mention it. There were 2 instances when this happened and when I was about to pull out the key after turning the car off the speakers came back on. It was strange.

The first time it happened I thought it was because I blasted my music too loud. But I've stopped doing that but it still keeps doing this. Anyone?

I routinely have the entire passenger side speakers go out when I have the suspension set for its stiffest setting. No idea why. Change it back to comfort and they always come back on. Never had all of them go out.

However, this only happens when using the iPod connector. Never have any problems with radio or CD.

Yea, if it ever gets on my nerves enough I'll have to do that. So far it's just a minor annoyance.

Yeah I would but I need the car for daily commute. Especially now since school/work is at its peak. How I wish I could get a rental from the dealership while the car is at the shop. Apparently I'm not old enough

Yep. Same here. The BMW dealership in Okemos couldn't find the problem so they contact BMW HQ someplace and they weren't sure why this happens.
