Hi Folks,
I took my 2002 Z3 to the dealership service station for a battery change and they returned the car with the radio stuck at "Code Wait" mode. The service representative also gave me the radio code along with all the instructions et al.
This code does not work at all. I took the car back to the dealership and they tried again and informed me that my radio(BMW branded Alpine system) is "shorted" and it will have to be replaced (which will cost me $800 bucks...not covered by warranty).
Strangely enough, the CD player lets me insert and eject CDs.... does it mean that the radio is actually operational and the service center folks have fed me some BS?
Has anybody faced such a situation and how did you get it fixed?
