I bought a replacement (visually identical) later year Business Radio to get mp3 reading abilities - works fine.

I had my radio not turning itself off on my e39 M5 and had to get a new radio module. In the M5 the module was in the boot (small box). Again the switching off problem was a known issue in the e39 and was put down to dry solder on a couple of the connectors on the circuit board.

There used to be a very knowledgeable member on the old MTorque board ~ RichardP ???

Sounds like a new radio module may be in order perhaps try and swap it out with another M3/CSL owner before you go and spend you hard earned cash.

...........0r try 0000, 0001, 0002.............9997, 9998 and 9999 :hahaha:
