BMW NO Audio/Radio FIX! A Very Simple $10 Part 

All of these other videos with so many views and you explained it best, thank you

Thanks for posting this video- truly grateful sir. I purchased this item from Amazon based on your recommendation and it worked!

Worked perfectly and radio and now voice module works 100% THANK YOU SO MUCH BRO

Greetings directly from Brazil my friend. Your tip was excellent and it worked perfectly for me. Thank you very much

NICE!! MY 335I just did the same thing. Going to try this!! Thanks!!

Thank you so much. Someone that explained it well.❤

What a strange fix. I’m not a car guy. That was very interesting. About ten years ago the engine light came on my truck. Went to the dealership to see what was the issue. I had a small child at the time, didn’t need a breakdown with her in the car. 4 hours later, the dealership technician informed me the issue can be fixed in two days, $1,576 US dollars. To me: the money was not a big issue, the safety of my child and passengers were the issue. Not to mention a two day car rental. On my way home, stopped for gas. An employee at the dealership came up to me and said. (I had seen her at the the dealership). She said the fix was very simple. She walked me thru the process. It was a pug and play part. Went to auto part store. The part was $65 dollars and I was able to fix in 20 minutes. Sometimes dealership are as croaked as they come. By the way the girl at the dealership. I married her two kids later. I’m still not allowed to take car to dealerships. Haha, I guess it worked out in the end.

Thanks Truly! I and my husband just fixed this issue about 2 hours ago (6/30/24)in my 2008 BMW 335i. It sounds like new. 😊

Thank you,worked like a champ. 😀

I have a 2007 335i manual that lost radio audio, but had no other symptoms or indicator lights. This fixed it right up. Thanks man!

Omg thank you very much I had a Bluetooth stereo too lol 😂 but mine just suddenly started working on it’s own,but if it breaks again I now know what to do 👍👍👍x

Thank you for the video I just ordered one and put it on and it works thanks

Great video! Did a great job being concise and solving the problem! My only criticism is why take the time to make this video and help people and not simply SAY WHAT THE PART IS CALLED?? Everyone has to go search thru comments and find your reply which took longer than watching the video.

you're are so awesome !!! Thanks for the help, it also worked for me. Thank you so much!

Good news matey I just finished lathing the Graphite coin molds and they came out bloody great I’ll send em your way probably Monday or Tuesday afternoon with some other goods as I have to go to post office early this week. Also what do you do for a living? I’m a plant operator 🤨

This saved me so much money and time. Thank you so much. It worked perfectly and only took about 5mins to install 😃

Thank you so much OP!

Worked perfectly, thank you!

Thanks so much. I just sucscribed and look forward to checking out your art. Cheers

Thanks I ordered the part! Hope its the right one because I ordered one from before but it was the wrong size

Thank you kindly for this

Worked perfectly with the precut piece , effortless plug in play . This shit was haunting me for 3 months

I really enjoyed the sabbath when u turned it back on, u should’ve let that play out

Thank you. Good video. Is this the same for most BMW's around this era? Common problem among different models of the era? THanks

I’m having the same issue and I believe I have pinpointed it to a bad amplifier which I believe is what that optical wire gets connected to. What I’m wondering is what the repercussions are for not having it connected?

*_My Girlfriend's grandfathers BMW has this problem. I'm going to try this tomorrow and see how it goes!_*

Worked for my 2008 BMW 335i. Thanks!

I had same problem but as soon as I installed that it works perfectly fine

Thank you that was pretty informative. I have same bmw as yours. 2007 coupe. My problem is I cannot make the phone/bluetooth work. Not sure if u have video on this. I am new here. But if you have any advise, that would be great!

THANK YOU 😊

Thank you!

Is that the fiber optic audio line that's just getting bypassed by looping it into itself

So I’m the trunk of the E90 you have on the left the module that connects to the phone or satilite? But what is the other big module thing on the right in the trunk? My car is missing both I have neither of the modules that go in the trunk, and my radio has no sound the knob on the radio does nothing, and I don’t have the sos light on the dash, Thanks.

Hello , thanks for that video, I’m having the same problem, what’s the name of that wire piece? Thank you

Thank you for this video.! Mines been like this for a yr now. just bought the piece cant wait to see if it works 🙏

What if you don’t have the satellite unit in your car like in the one where you connected to? Is that a tell sign why it doesn’t work? Connecting that piece , will male it work I’m assuming? Also, I don’t see any of those connections little red light turn on, do I have to have my key on? Thanks bud 🙏🏽

Will this work for a 08 BMW X5 my stereo turns on but just make any sound

Have you fixed that other light that came on? The one for the lights?

After you do that, does the navigation system still work?

*_This is the most amazing car hack I've seen so far_*

I just removed all the fuses connected to the radio control to make sure they weren't blown. All good. I guess it reset the radio cuz its working, for now. 😉 2016 428i

Is there a bypass for a 2006 E53 x5 radio module? A Becker bm53? Need help ASAP. Can’t access radio, tape or aux

Nice nice.it happened to my bmw x5

After you use the loop.. do you disconnect the loop plug everything back in??

thanks for uploading this video I know when you take a BMW for issues like this they always want to rip you off. Can you please tell me what is the part name so I can order it. thanks again!

I have a steady red and yellow light on the bottom of the amp, which means my amp is good but still no sound!!

What perfect timing with the radio coming back to life with a the coughing from Black Sabbath's Sweet Leaf. I'm going to try this out. We do not see the SOS warning though so it may not apply. The dealership said they coudn't find anything, go figure.

Question I was told on my 09 335I if replacement of amp it needs to be programmed by a bmw specialist is that correct ?

I have the same problem with my X3 audio what is the name of the piece that I need to order

I have the same problem but I do not have the SOS light, do you think this could still be my problem? please help me man

I got the same car and got that little part And it works and i didn’t have to cut the plastic around it, but whenever I shut off the car it stops working. Is that how yours is also? I have to put it on every drive cycle? Also sometimes it doesn’t work it’s so annoying.

So on this particular BMW, there are two plugs. one on the r front top device and one on the back bottom of the device. there no fan of any sort like in this video........do I buy two of the loop things because one does not work for either of the plugs. I suppose if I got two of them and unplugged them both and capped them with the loop thing, it may work????

Good job man,,,you kno how to do a video to help others wow,,,,,however i have 650 i convertible 2006 model,,the radio come on and off including that bip pong pong pong on and off,,what might be the problem brother,,,,,,,,,from South Africa

Can u please post a video on how to cut that piece?

Sweet leaf!

Would this work for a 2017 X3? I dont have audio for my radio (both FM and AM ) stations but do do have audio coming from Sirius radio, CD, Door, seat belt warning, Bluetooth, Apple Car play and they all work... I tried resetting the radio by holding down the power button. Radio stations are showing but no sound.

Wait, what was the box doing then? You closed the circuit with that loop thingy and audio works?

I installed this gadget 2 years ago. same symptoms of no radio sound is back, pain in the neck. do this plugs go bad? Are they just a bypass, is it a fusible link? thank you for the video

Hey man so I got a 07 335i too, I have no radio, is it possible to hook up the speakers to a aux without the head unit? I’m 15 and kinda broke just seeing if you have an idea.

What does Square box exactly do? Just create phone service for a car phone? Or is there an actual purpose for it? Jw I'm in the same boat.

What, exactly, does this bypass? What won't work after I plug this in?

Eyyy bro really like the video I’m actully getting one from amazon that FITS without modding can u believe that lol right 😆.....it’s an extra 20$ from the others but worth it......now I noticed u were in the truck n read your info about the vid as well is yours a 4door or coupe ? I have the navigation is this module under the trunk in the center or by the battery right back corner ? Mines 2007 bmw 335i coupe with the N54 twin turbo rear wheel drive......let me know if u got any info or advice cause my screen try’s to come on it flashes then out again does it every 7-12 minutes of driving I can even hear my speakers n tweeters click even when the car is off and I have the power of the car and ignition completely off.....so I’m pretty sure n hoping same issue you had.....they say it’s the telephone communication module that fails.....yet bmw says u don’t have it installed n still try’s to charge you 1800$ for it LMAO 15 years latter ya right....great video thanks 🙏🏻

Hi nice video i have a 08 550i no radio in in 6 months. FM on the radio on the dash will not engage, popping the trunk i disconnected the amp led and it is red. and the serious satellite radio is red but nothing else in the loop.

Hey bro my radio doesnt even light up. You reckon this will solve my problem aswell? Checked the fuse apparently they all fine

On mine the radio doesnt even light up displaying the different radio stations, however still ejects the CD? You reckon this will solve the problem?

Will this work for any model BMW 2007 750LI???

Would this work in my 2005 e60? My sound keeps cutting out and I drive freezes! If I get optical loop what should I connect it to? Thanks

Hello, I have the same problem for 2 months now, no audio coming at all even with warning lights there should come some sound but theres not... im gonna try to do some kind of same thing tomorrow, lets see if it helps :)

so if i have audio and no sos, but its super quiet ( i just replaced the dash part) would this work?

Did you install the Aux cord for your iPod?

I’ve got the same issue but can’t make bluetooth phone calls either. Not seeing anyone else mention that. Wondering if this will fix both issues?

Hi, Thanks for the video.Just bought a 2008 335 E92 without any audio from the Car, after watching your video 2 days ago, I bought the bypass optical loop from Canada Amazon and I've received it today. Tried it in my Car and NO sound still, but the SOS light is gone and I can connect my phone to the Car Bluetooth (of which I do not know if the car has bluetooth before). Please where do you think I missed it? Or is Canadian optical loop different from the States? please advise.

Hi was your audio for seatbelt, sensors, and door chime gone also?

What was the part that you ordered on Amazon? That was not clear from the video

I pray this will work on my 440i… because a new head unit or amp is going to cost way too much 😨

Would using a fm transmitter work too instead of fixing it if radio works and want to use aux?

Can you post a link to Amazon? I don’t know what it’s called to buy the piece

Okay so my car was working fine after the aftermarket stereo and then one day it randomly crackled and beeped and stopped working😭 would this work for my car as wellv

Do you think this would work on my 2000 528i wagon

Cool beans!!!!

Hi, does this work for 2009 BMW 328xi? audio not turning on. sporadically it turns on by itself for a 30 seconds and turns off

I’ve had this same problem and I can’t figure it out. I’ve bypassed the same thing that you did and I get the red light at the connection under the dash so the loop is complete but it still isn’t working for me. What else could it be?

I wonder would it work for all 3 series

I haver a 2014 428I that got water in the trunk, would this fix it ?

i have a 2006 bmw 325i and my sound occasionally works then it cuts out. will this work for my car?

Hi , I got the same problem with my BMW 520d mSport 2013. I bought that part and did what you did. It now blowing fuse anymore but there is still no sound. What could that be ?

Tried this on my 2008 550i and didn’t seem to work. please help

???wow Many senior automotive mostly uses in media oriented systems transport system, and because the system module is the series connection in the maintenance process when a failure occurs from a module of the media oriented systems transport, it may cause the whole system does not work, in this case, you can replace the module in series connection in the loop to determine and confirm working condition. Usage: If you meet the faults of audio CD and navigation systems, audio CDs don't work, navigation is often broken and always blank screen, it may be caused damage to the telephone module. The modules connected on a vehicle media oriented systems transport ring include: CD Changer, Video Display, GPS Navigation, Mobile Phone, Bluetooth, Voice Recognition, Amplifier and Digital/FM/AM Tuner. If you wish to remove one of these modules from the fiber optic ring for repair or fault diagnosis you will require this connector/adaptor and fiber optic bypass loop cable to close the media oriented systems transport ring and maintain the integrity of the remaining modules on the ring. Specification: Material: Plastic, Metal Fiber Optic Loop Cable Bypass Connector Length: 900mm / 35.43"(L) Dimension: 940x27x13mm / 37.01"x1.06"x0.51"(L*W*H) Color: Orange, Black, Blue Pin Number: 2 Connector Size 1: 27x25mm / 1.06"x0.98"(L*W) Connector Size 2: 35x25mm / 1.38"x0.98"(L*W) Compatibility: Fits most kinds of cars. Note: Color might be slightly different due to the color calibration of each individual monitor. Please allow 1cm to 5cm measuring deviation due to manual measurement. Item Includes: 1 x Fiber Optic Loop Cable Bypass Connector

2011 328i, the screen backlight comes on but theres no letters or numbers. It has come back on before but it has since went back off. Now the backlight comes on then goes completely off about 30 seconds after the car is started. Would this part fix that?

How did u cut off the casing blocking the plugs

I have a 2006 330i cant choose am or fm. However cd dvd works, i can hear all the sounds except am fm

I have 2015 328i gt , idk where i can find loop to loop connector in my car, can you help please.

I have a 320i e92, but it only has an amplifier but not satellite module thing like yours, so im screwed with the sound not working:(

Nice helpful video. Nevertheless , put some gas in the car it's Hard on E

Hi there will it work for a 2007 650i? And where would my module be located? I have idrive and screen is just pitch black and no radio no stereo ..
