SOS codes/no Aux/Static=many questions
A new to me 2008 M3 Vert. No Nav, no iDrive.
It came spec'ed from the factory as: S639A Preparation F Mobile Phone Cpl USACDN S676A HiFi Speaker System S693A Preparation BMW Satellite Radio S694A Provisions For BMW 6 CD Changer S6FLA USBAudio Interface S645A BMW US Radio S663A Radio BMW Professional Multi-media system offers Radio, CD, and Aux options (no Phone). Armrest has USB and Aux port. And I confirmed it has TCU 1.5 MOST GSM US in the trunk and a number of unused multi-media wires. The USB and Aux port that seem non-functional and I get the yellow SOS alert telling me the SOS systems is not functional. The "Aux" option is not grayed out. There is a low level static sound coming from the speakers even when the car is off that does not seem affected by the volume control. The whole radio randomly (like every few hours) will just go black and restart itself. ************** I am trying to figure out if this is simply what I should expect with these options and the aux/USB ports are dummies? Or is there an issue e.g. with the TCU or MOST connections somewhere that I need to diagnose? Perhaps I have a wiring problem? Should/could this car have Bluetooth (not listed on the options, but TCU shows Bluetooth)? I have been reading posts on this forum but still have so many questions.

Sounds like you have an issue. Probably best to get someone or something that can read the codes. It will point to in the right direction to which module is throwing faults.

Amp is fucked IMO. If you hear a static sound like a bad radio station selection that is not a valid station signal it's the amp. Example:106.7 is a station in LA but I've tuned to 106.1 which is not a station in LA I'll hear static. Especially if it's out of some speakers but not all. You can try dissembling the amp and cleaning the chip legs with CRC cleaner but that's a maybe for water damage or a waste of time for a power issue. The AUX issue may be a MULF or combox issue depending on which you have.

Thanks. I assumed not the amp because the static is more like the occasion pop I have seen few posts on. I hear it even with the radio off and the car off (but obviously some systems powered up).
I have at TCU so I assume no MULF? |

So my amp got water damage during my rear pumper repaint. With stereo off it was cracking and popping. Playing music resulted in shit sound. It was like a stereo on 100% volume distortion but at any volume level. A replacement amp resolved it.

I have been looking for How To's on getting to the amplifier on a convertible. I haven't found anything good so far. |

Thanks. The number of convertible owners that seem to have left the top down in the rain makes this a reasonable one to attack.
I know the amp down there somewhere, but everything I have seen is that getting all the carpet etc, out is a PITA on a convertible. I will just wait and tak it slowly at some point. |
