BMW E46 Radio volumn stuck to max. high

Jul 28, 2005 5 Replies

Dear all



I was driving with my factory unit on playing a CD. I switched on my heating and suddenly the volumn of the radio went to maximum.



I cannot turn it down. I tried to using the volumne knob and the steering wheel controls but nothing happens.



What would be the likely outcome to fix this - change the Head Unit? Any expriences. Is this a common issue with BMWs.



Thanks

Sounds like the auto-volume control has failed. It might be possible for the dealer to re-set it, but the head will probably need to be replaced.

You could try switching auto volume control off, and see if manual volume control then works properly.

As an update: I left the car for 5 days and came back and the radio volume was back to normal. I have not checked the auto-volume yet but will definitely check that too. Many thanks Zuv
