I had the local BMW dealership install a pair of blue angel eyes on my car. I didn't notice until the next morning I was experiencing very poor radio reception and after 4 miles the TPM system light would come on. I didn't discover the connection with the lights being the cause until I was driving home one evening and the lights came on as nightfall was approaching. Once the lights came on, the radio reception was gone. I shut the lights off and the radio was as clear as could be. With the lights off the TPM light in the dash would go out also. Has anyone else experienced this? I have an appointment with the BMW dealership next week to have the vehicle checked out.

Can you tell me where you bought them and part number? The BMW dealership confirmed the radio problem is due to the angel eyes I have installed...$100 down the drain

Known issue....check the above links. This info is a few years old, too. So, how old were your angel eyes that they installed? I would assume that AIB has worked out the bugs since 2006.
