Radio shuts off

1998 BMW 528i, has amp, nav and cd player in the trunk. Radio sound quality very bad. CD quality very good, but when you turn up the volume it shouts down, no sound. It will come back later though. What do you think the problem is?

If ur radio is bad maybe your antener has come lose at rear of head unit... some systems also earth through the antener so this could cause it to shut off. Hope this helps.. Craig

This is because of the cs changer which is mounted in the boot of your cars , this happens when there is any vibration in the car or the wiring is shorted please get it checked .....................

Radio and nav work, just no sound from speakers in my 2007 650i

check Amplifier located in the trunk, most likely is out, from water damage or just burned out, it's a common problem in the 3 burns, 6 water, and 7 series.
the circuit must be complete for the sound to come on, if you have a malfunction in any component, cd, radio,nav, or phone the sound will not come on.

How does the CD player turn on

Make sure you have one. Its on the left in the trunk. Load 1-6 cd's in it and then, with the radio on, select CD on the dash

Where is the button on the radio to turn on the cd player which is in the trunk

Let's see, the 98 still had a cassette player in the head unit correct?
There should be a button toward the top, far right, that says Tape/CD.
If the CD player has been disconnected, it may be necessary to 'reboot' the system to get the head unit to sync up with the CD player. Disconnecting the battery is the simplest way, but you will have to reset the anti-theft code in the radio and reprogram various memories (seats, etc) if you disconnect the battery.

Would like to put the original CD changer/player

To put the original back in just hope the harness behind the radio wasant cut into. If its not it should just plug right in and mount back up in the stock location.

as far as the cd changer. if you would want to add one. you would need to find the changer, harness and headunit from a model with one.

2004 BMW X5 4.4i Left lights on resulting in flat battery. Car was jump started from another vehicle (Ford Transit van). Everything fine for a few days. Now, intermittently the radio/sat nav goes haywire!...

sounds like your car has the multi function steering wheel, i know on the 7 and 5 series they come out of sync, im not sure why.
its about £75 to get plugged in at the dealers and they reprogram it, sometimes i have had the odd car with a damaged slip ring, it does all sorts of things, 1 in particular kept on beeping the horn,
i would say if u got 1 urs got upset when battery flat.

My 1993 BMW 325i radio turns on, but after a few minutes fades to no sound. Turn it off for a several seconds and comes back on but quickly fadws out again. The same for the CD player and all radio bands....

This problem is most likely caused by the stock Blaupunkt amplifier which is located in the trunk on the drivers side behind the carpet that covers the inner fender.
