2CanDan Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Hi guys and girls, recently brought an 320d touring, this is my 4th e46, I've got a wierd problem with this one when I got it the guy said he pulled the fuse out for the stereo as it kept killing the battery which it does so I took the stereo out it's a double din boardmonitor with sat nav etc, so tonight I was checking the fuse for the heated rear window as that don't work but I found the fuse for the radio so put it back in before I lose it and turnt the ignition on to see if the fuse for heated rear screen was getting power and guess what music started playing even with no stereo in it 😂 so I'm thinking can't be the stereo can it? Could it be something to do the CD changer? I'm crap with electrics 😂 after some suggestions? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontpannic Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 The stereo is actually in the boot if you have factory navigation - the unit up front is just the display. Something is obviously wrong there if it's coming on without the screen connected - not sure if that's normal behaviour or not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2CanDan Posted January 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Yeah it's factory sat nav, I know the CD changer is in boot what else is in there to do with the stereo mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2CanDan Posted January 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 I just don't know where to start looking mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontpannic Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Everything's in the boot, the navigation DVD drive, the BM54 tuner/amp - the only thing at the front is your disc drive and screen - I suspect there's some sort of short in the boot wiring. Where to start I have no idea but stripping out the boot trim and checking the wiring would be my first port of call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
