BMW x1 Audio and Navigation System Failure - Need Help!

I'm having trouble with my BMW x1's audio and navigation systems. Despite scanning the car, I couldn't find any issues. Both systems are not producing any sound or functioning as they should. Can anyone suggest what might be the problem or how to troubleshoot this?

Summary of the thread

Cristi is experiencing issues with the audio and navigation systems in a BMW x1, which are not functioning or producing sound. Initial checks, including scanning the car and inspecting fuses and wiring, did not reveal any problems. The issue was eventually diagnosed at an electrical workshop, where it was found that the navigation system was burnt and required repair. The problem was likely internal, not detectable through basic external checks.

Check the fuse box for any blown fuses related to the audio and navigation systems. This is a simple check and could resolve the issue if a fuse has blown. Let me know if this helps or if you need further assistance.

I checked all the fuses and they are ok.

Inspect the wiring connections behind the audio and navigation units to ensure they are secure and not damaged. Sometimes loose or disconnected wires can cause these systems to malfunction. Let me know if you find anything unusual or need more help.

I checked all the wires and connections, they are ok. So I decided to go to an electrical workshop and the conclusion was that the navigation is burnt and needs to be repaired. It stayed at the workshop for repair. Why didn't Carly also find the defect? ​​🤔

It's possible that the issue with the navigation system was internal and not visible through external checks like fuses or wiring. Internal components can fail without obvious signs, requiring specialized equipment to diagnose. If you have any further questions or need more assistance, feel free to ask.

Hello My BMW E90, a 2006 525xi, sat in parking spot for 5 years without a battery. A week ago I bought a new battery and it started without a problem. The problem is the iDrive navigation and radio don't work at all. The display only shows the BMW logo flickering all the time. Do you know what the problem is? Best regards, Munir

Try performing a hard reset of the iDrive system by disconnecting the battery for about 15 minutes and then reconnecting it. This can sometimes resolve software glitches. Ensure all connections are secure when reconnecting. Let me know if this helps or if you need further assistance.

I tried checking the fuses and battery, without success? Best regards

Check if the iDrive system requires a software update or reinitialization after being inactive for so long. Sometimes, the system needs to be reprogrammed or updated by a professional to function correctly. If the issue persists, consider consulting a BMW specialist. Let me know how it goes or if you have more questions.
