Hey there been creeping on the forums and has been a lot of help , and now I need to ask some help of my own. I have a 2006 325xi, and recently the radio just starts to jump from aux to cd, which is odd because it won’t even let me select cd as there isn’t one in the slot. I have the professional radio with the logic 7 sound, if anyone knows if it’s on its way out and need a replacement or anything else related it would be appreciated. thanks

they are known to have capacitors that fail.

when that happens, strange things happen.

it needs puled out and the caps checked as a first start.

You can get them on ebay pretty cheap you do need
to program them for your options including the fact
you have Logic 7. Some of the newer versions have
built in USB and Bluetooth but they tend to cost more.
And the programming is more tricky on those since
they weren't available in that year.

By the way this forum has many sub forums including
a stereo sub forum.

Perfect, if it gets more consistent with switching and kind of crapping out I will probably replace for the prices I've seen, so would any professional radio work even from the later years, just need to program them, as in theres no differences between professional radios, aside from potential usb/bluetooth (not needed for me)

I put a 2011 LCI radio in my 2006 and it worked great once programmed. I recently did an i-drive retrofit so that same radio is now for sale.

If that radio is programmed for L7 it would help the OP
out a lot as getting that done is the major gotcha for
most people.

Looks like that one has built in Sirius.

The newer ones come with different options that are built in
like HD Radio standard and USB , Bluetooth phone , and
Satellite Radio which use to be seperate modules and actually
is for most E9x's

You might want one of these as an easy way to get streaming bluetooth and usb or phone if you don't have it.

I would pre code it for him but I would need to pull the cic out of the car I just finished last week. The radio has Sirius but would need an FSC code to activate. The radios with USB and Bluetooth built in appear to be from European models. I looked for one like that but never was able to find one. Perhaps E series X1 have those newer radios.

Where you able to code that radio with a K/D can cable?
I heard that you needed an Icom for Most Bus stuff after
the 3/07 build but was never sure how putting post 3/07 stuff
worked in a pre 3//07 car.

[meikster]

If we can get this figured out if his radio can work in mine with the logic 7, it is a done deal!

[ctuna]

Pretty sure it can work but it would be easier if it was
already programmed. Otherwise you will have to set
yourself up with Inpa suite for diags and programming
which is a good idea anyway.

See bimmergeeks.net for cable and downloads.

[meikster]

I was eventually planning on getting that set up but this might just push it a bit sooner, which isn't the worst. So you think I can get the Logic 7 and MOST bus going with just the cable?

OPs car is 9/05 build so coding will not be an issue. The ebay radio is a 2011 radio I had in a 5/05 build. If icom was needed to code radios, cic/combox retrofits would be having issues and we are not hearing about that.

The reason I ended up with this radio is I wanted to retrofit a MULF2 HI and the 06 radio software did not support MULF and there was no update available.
