What a strange fix. I’m not a car guy. That was very interesting. About ten years ago the engine light came on my truck. Went to the dealership to see what was the issue. I had a small child at the time, didn’t need a breakdown with her in the car. 4 hours later, the dealership technician informed me the issue can be fixed in two days, $1,576 US dollars. To me: the money was not a big issue, the safety of my child and passengers were the issue. Not to mention a two day car rental. On my way home, stopped for gas. An employee at the dealership came up to me and said. (I had seen her at the the dealership). She said the fix was very simple. She walked me thru the process. It was a pug and play part. Went to auto part store. The part was $65 dollars and I was able to fix in 20 minutes. Sometimes dealership are as croaked as they come. By the way the girl at the dealership. I married her two kids later. I’m still not allowed to take car to dealerships. Haha, I guess it worked out in the end.

I’m having the same issue and I believe I have pinpointed it to a bad amplifier which I believe is what that optical wire gets connected to. What I’m wondering is what the repercussions are for not having it connected?

Great video! Did a great job being concise and solving the problem! My only criticism is why take the time to make this video and help people and not simply SAY WHAT THE PART IS CALLED?? Everyone has to go search thru comments and find your reply which took longer than watching the video.

The bybass did help me and a lot of others but it depends on what is actually wrong. BMW uses a looped fiber optics that ties into everything so you have to try the bypass on which is actually bad. Hope that helps you a little

So I’m the trunk of the E90 you have on the left the module that connects to the phone or satilite? But what is the other big module thing on the right in the trunk? My car is missing both I have neither of the modules that go in the trunk, and my radio has no sound the knob on the radio does nothing, and I don’t have the sos light on the dash, Thanks.

I have a steady red and yellow light on the bottom of the amp, which means my amp is good but still no sound!!

Have you fixed that other light that came on? The one for the lights?

Question I was told on my 09 335I if replacement of amp it needs to be programmed by a bmw specialist is that correct ?

Is there a bypass for a 2006 E53 x5 radio module? A Becker bm53? Need help ASAP. Can’t access radio, tape or aux

After you use the loop.. do you disconnect the loop plug everything back in??

Will this work for a 08 BMW X5 my stereo turns on but just make any sound

so if i have audio and no sos, but its super quiet ( i just replaced the dash part) would this work?

I have the same problem but I do not have the SOS light, do you think this could still be my problem? please help me man

*_My Girlfriend's grandfathers BMW has this problem. I'm going to try this tomorrow and see how it goes!_*

After you do that, does the navigation system still work?

I’ve had this same problem and I can’t figure it out. I’ve bypassed the same thing that you did and I get the red light at the connection under the dash so the loop is complete but it still isn’t working for me. What else could it be?

Okay so my car was working fine after the aftermarket stereo and then one day it randomly crackled and beeped and stopped working😭 would this work for my car as wellv

I got the same car and got that little part And it works and i didn’t have to cut the plastic around it, but whenever I shut off the car it stops working. Is that how yours is also? I have to put it on every drive cycle? Also sometimes it doesn’t work it’s so annoying.

I’ve got the same issue but can’t make bluetooth phone calls either. Not seeing anyone else mention that. Wondering if this will fix both issues?

So on this particular BMW, there are two plugs. one on the r front top device and one on the back bottom of the device. there no fan of any sort like in this video........do I buy two of the loop things because one does not work for either of the plugs. I suppose if I got two of them and unplugged them both and capped them with the loop thing, it may work????

Hey man so I got a 07 335i too, I have no radio, is it possible to hook up the speakers to a aux without the head unit? I’m 15 and kinda broke just seeing if you have an idea.

Would this work for a 2017 X3? I dont have audio for my radio (both FM and AM ) stations but do do have audio coming from Sirius radio, CD, Door, seat belt warning, Bluetooth, Apple Car play and they all work... I tried resetting the radio by holding down the power button. Radio stations are showing but no sound.

Hello, I have the same problem for 2 months now, no audio coming at all even with warning lights there should come some sound but theres not... im gonna try to do some kind of same thing tomorrow, lets see if it helps :)

On mine the radio doesnt even light up displaying the different radio stations, however still ejects the CD? You reckon this will solve the problem?

Tried this on my 2008 550i and didn’t seem to work. please help

What, exactly, does this bypass? What won't work after I plug this in?

What perfect timing with the radio coming back to life with a the coughing from Black Sabbath's Sweet Leaf. I'm going to try this out. We do not see the SOS warning though so it may not apply. The dealership said they coudn't find anything, go figure.

Hi guys, my BMW X5 E70 3.0sd also has a chime/sound problem. It already gave an SOS malfunction on the dashboard since I had the car, but one year later - out of the blue - the car got completely silence. I still have the SOS malfunction on my dashboard, all other things seem to work, bot NO SOUNDS, NO CHIMES, nothing! Bought the by-pass connector (had to cut some plastic), tried it on several boxes that I located on the left back of the car, but still nothing happens (I think I tried 3 connectors there and they all had red lights on the fiber cable when I unplugged it). Are there any more boxes located in the car? Have I missed one? However, the day it stopped working we've had a very heavy thunderstorm and there was water on the inside of my car (exactly where the boxes are located there was water on the bottom that came in through the back lights). What got be my issue? Thanks in advance!
