2014 335i Nav and Radio Have gone out

TheFlyingFootman · 09-22-2018, 10:53 PM

Hello, I drove the car to a job site Wednesday, worked, got in the car and the Nav, Radio, usb, and accessory/lighter are all dead. I have gone through the front and rear fuse boxes with no problematic fuses... My Dealer can't get me in for two weeks, any other Ideas on what to look at?

I'd double-check those fuses. Try to definitively find the fuse for your nav/media system. I believe the one you might be looking for is fuse 142 in the trunk. There is a big fuse box under the floor near the rear seats. Is that the one you're checking?

Was any work done on your car recently?

TheFlyingFootman · 09-23-2018, 06:34 AM

Yeah, I have been in there and the fuse looks perfect. I have looked twice already... I haven't done any work to the car, no tunes. Just a VRSF charge pipe about 3 months ago.

Does the audio system make use of any relays?

Did you check your battery level? If it's low, all those things get deactivated until the charge is adequate

Without an OBD diagnostic tool, like the Foxwell NT510, you're throwing darts in the dark while blindfolded.

Yeah, I should probably check the battery... thanks

Last time I had that on my X3, I didn't even had to charge the battery manually, I just drove for 10-20 km, stop the car then restart it and it came back by itself.

Hopefully it's only something that simple for you too.

Let us know how it goes

The Head Unit Died for some reason. $2052 to replace it as I am 3000 miles out of warranty. So Awesome! 4 years old....
