BMW Car Stereo Repair
We no longer repair BMW car stereos and CD Changers. We are dropping the BMW stereos from our repair list for several reasons.

Most newer BMW stereos today communicate with the computers in the car. We presently are unable to bench test these car stereos.
Many BMW stereos are manufactured by Alpine. Alpine is not supporting (OEM) original factory car stereo repair facilities. There is NO technical service literature or parts available from Alpine for repair.

We are also working on "DIY Repair" for the Do It Yourselfer, for many of the common problems for BMW's with Alpine and Pioneer stereos. See notes for specific car stereos.

There are two different connectors for hooking up this CD changer. Check your connector!

CD changer with a 6 pin round (DIN) connector only.
CD changer with a 13 pin rectangular connector.

Accepts cartridge but does not play CDs, check first to see if CDs are inserted properly into cartridge. There is a "Reset" button below the "Open/Eject" button, try resetting. Or, there may be an aftermarket Pioneer available, it may be a direct plug in, check your local car stereo shops for applications.
