A malfunctioning NAV computer is a very typical reason why the radio automatically turns off after a few minutes. When the battery is removed before it completely cycles down, the NAV computer is vulnerable to failure (light goes off).

There are possibly a number of problems that could lead to this problem. It makes a lot more sense to me for faulty speakers to cause the amplifier to shut down because I was an engineer who created radios for BMW years ago. After removing the rear deck speakers today, it was discovered that the speaker cone’s felt was completely destroyed by dry rot. There are undoubtedly others in the same condition so I will continue to remove the rest till I locate the perpetrator.
It shouldn’t be possible for the NAV DVD to control the audio unless the architecture is truly bad. The only thing the NAV does is manage the radio’s dash-mounted display.

On my 2003, whenever I press any button that is associated with the radio, it simply restarts. Instead of having to install a new radio, I’m hoping someone has a patch for this.
The battery ground must first be disconnected for the night. If it doesn’t work, you’ll need to take the fairings off on both sides and undo the stingray. To make sure the three connectors in the top left are correctly put home, pull it backwards. Since that requires force to disconnect, the radio connector on the device’s rear is unlikely to be the issue. It isn’t much extra work, though, if you want to go inside and look. Additionally, make sure the stingray connector is correctly latching above the radio.
Does only the radio turn on when the stingray controller goes off? Does it turn off the orange light when it restarts?
Why does my radio automatically turn on and off?
I want to thank you for your response to my query. It’s a 1998 540i BNW. There is no navigation on it. In response to your query, when this occurs the entire panel shuts off, the horn also stops working, and the backup sensor is also turned off. If there is a relay or fuse I can replace, what is it?
I think you might have a problem with your ignition switch. This component’s failure will result in a variety of strange, unexpected, unrelated problems. One average replacement costs $100 USD plus an hour of labor.
The alternative explanation is that the radio may have an internal problem and, when it shuts off on its own, is sucking too much current, which is what is causing the other issues. I am aware of several situations where this has shown to be the problem.
My advice is to check the ignition switch first because it is quite cheap, and if the issue persists, think about changing the radio.
If I can be of any further assistance to you or if you have any other queries about your vehicle, kindly let me know. I sincerely hope my explanation was useful.

Since March, I’ve owned my 2008 328i coupe, and I really adore it. I haven’t experienced any issues with the automobile, but one item annoys me. I occasionally enjoy rolling down my car windows and listening to my car audio while working in my garage on either my car or something else. I haven’t timed it yet, but after ten to fifteen minutes the radio turns off, and to reactivate it I must go shove the key fob back in. Since this occurs frequently, I am certain that it was done on purpose. Is it possible to turn off this function? I looked through the owner’s manual, but I couldn’t find anything about it. I sincerely appreciate any assistance.
This is a typical aspect of the vehicle. To turn back on, you do not need to re-insert the ket, though. Simply pressing the radio’s on button should restart it for a further 15 minutes. hopefully useful
Thank you, men I appear to be stuck with this minor annoyance. Oh well, I can’t really gripe if this is the only drawback to my car.
So be grateful for it because this will help keep your battery alive. The radio isn’t as evident as leaving your lights on once you get out of your car and close the doors, and i’ve had acquaintances with upgraded sound systems who unintentionally left their radio on and they ran out of power by the next morning.
My own does that as well, but I don’t believe it always does. I typically spend my lunch break in the car listening to music. Sometimes the music stops, sometimes it doesn’t, and I believe this is related to whether you open the door after turning on the radio. One advantage that MB has over the BMW is that you can switch on the radio without placing the key in the ignition. My MB also does the same thing, but it does it after 30 minutes and it does it every time.

Why did my radio abruptly stop playing?
A receiver will automatically shut off if it does not receive enough current. The receiver may turn off on its own if there is insufficient current if it shares a wall outlet with another high-current equipment (such a refrigerator, air conditioner, heater, or vacuum).
My radio keeps turning on and off; why?
This occurs when there are loose wires in the system; this is especially true if the ground wire and power cord become free. The stereo voltage will fluctuate if these two wires are not in consistent contact with one another. It’s possible that this is the major issue with your car stereo if it turns on then turns off.
Simply make sure that the connection between the wires is solid and sturdy to cure this issue. As a result, the voltage won’t fluctuate and the stereo won’t abruptly turn on or off or lose volume.
Why is my radio restarting so frequently?
If your radio’s power source is unstable, it will typically keep resetting. It might also point to a more serious issue with the engine or problems with one or more head unit parts.
The battery may be drained if you leave the car lights on or the door open overnight, which could eventually start to cause issues with the radio. The radio will either quit abruptly or keep resetting.
There are a number of problems that contribute to this issue, but if the precise cause is found, a solution is simple to come by. Here are a handful of the most typical issues that require your attention.
How can I keep my radio on?
When the switch is still in the accessory or on position, you might be able to remove the key if your ignition cylinder or key are particularly worn. Make sure the ignition switch is genuinely in the off position when you remove the key in order to solve this issue. That ought should enable the radio to be turned off.
Why doesn’t the radio display on my car work?
The display unit in your automobile can have problems as a result of a bad fuse. If you’re unlucky, a blown fuse will prevent your car stereo from turning on when the ignition is on. A somewhat old but still efficient method of preventing short circuits is the use of fuses.
Additionally, your automobile may have had a fuse installed that was intended to prevent a sudden short circuit from damaging your radio. Your automobile radio display may not function due to a faulty or damaged fuse.
The display unit and the power wire are directly across from this specific fuse. If you replaced the standard stereo with a more modern one, there may be a problem where the aftermarket stereo won’t switch on because of a blown fuse.
So it seems sense that if the fuse blows, the power would cut out. You might be experiencing issues as a result of the fuse blowing while you weren’t there.

I need to restart my car radio.
A few months back, I purchased a used car, and it has been functioning flawlessly. The radio has been acting strangely lately, and when I switch it on, CODE is now shown. How can I turn the car radio back on?
In less than two minutes, find out if your auto insurance is being overcharged.
Your radio is locked if the CODE display is shown. If the car has just undergone maintenance, had other settings restored, or had the battery replaced, this is a typical occurrence.
You will need to enter a code to go beyond the car’s security system in order to open the radio. This code can be found in several places, most notably:
- in the owner’s guide. In the owner’s manual, look in the radio/stereo or security sections to find the code quickly.
- See whether the manufacturer has a database of stereo security codes by visiting their website.
- Find out whether your nearby dealership can give you the code or unlock it for you by going there.
The following measures should be used if you are unable to locate the code and the dealership or installation facility was unsuccessful in unlocking it:
- Just turn the ignition on, not the engine
- Turn off the radio.
- To reset the radio, press and hold the power button for a few minutes.
If this initially doesn’t work, hold the power and seek buttons down simultaneously or for a longer period of time. Hopefully, one of these techniques will get you jamming out once more right away!
Review your your insurance coverage and download the Jerry app while you wait for a technician to unlock your audio. Jerry is the quickest and best way to locate a car insurance plan that is specially tailored for you.
Jerry will handle the phone calls, paperwork, and renewals for your top option after giving you a thorough cross-analysis of the best plans across providers so you won’t have to. Even your old policy is cancelled!
Why does the radio on my iPhone constantly going out?
There may be a number of causes for the iPhone music to frequently pause. Here, I’ll list a few of them to help you understand why this problem arises.
1. iPhone requires an update
Perhaps you should update your iPhone’s iOS system to the most recent version. The iOS system version could be to blame for the iPhone music dropping off. If so, you can check for updates using the Settings app on your iPhone.
Other Audio & Video Interface Influences
The music playing on your iPhone will stop if you open and click on other app interfaces or online pages that automatically play audio or video.
3. Connection to a network
The problem of “iPhone music keeps cutting out” may be brought on by a poor network connection if you are listening to iPhone music online. The iPhone music will stop playing if the network is sluggish or unreliable because the network greatly affects the capacity to stream.
