BMW X6 Display Flickering & Audio Dead, Help Needed

Hey all, having weird issues with my 2012 BMW X6. The infotainment display is flickering and sometimes goes completely dead, plus the audio system isn't working at all. Already checked the error codes. Anyone dealt with similar symptoms? Would love to hear about repair experiences and what your workshop found, trying to figure out if it's an audio system fault or something else. Let me know what you think.

When I select/switch on Aux in the original system and then go to the Android system and start playback from USB or DAB radio there, I can hear the music for a few seconds. Then the original system switches to CD or internal memory.

There isn't a specific fuse just for the Aux input, but there could be a fuse related to the audio system that might affect it. Check your vehicle's fuse box for any blown fuses related to the audio system or infotainment. If the fuses are intact, the issue might be with the car's software or a faulty Aux port. If the problem persists, it might be best to have a professional inspect the system. Let me know if you need further assistance!

Is there a fuse for Aux?

Check your vehicle's settings to ensure that the Aux input isn't being overridden by another source. If the system keeps switching away from Aux, it might be due to a software glitch or a setting that prioritizes other inputs. Try resetting the car's audio system to its default settings to see if that resolves the issue. If the problem continues, a professional inspection might be necessary to diagnose any deeper issues. Let me know how it goes or if you have more questions!
