My single CD player in 2004 E60 doesnt start playing after a CD (original, propper one) gets in, and, wich is strange, the CD player tab in Entertainment menu (there are AM, FM and CD tabs) stays blank, inactive, i cant even press it.
If anybody's got a clue what the problem might be, please share

Have you tried other CDs? (I assume you did but it's not clear...)

I think the tab remains inactive until a CD is properly recognized by the hardware. Sure, the issue could be software only but I wouldn't rule out hardware...

i guess you are right, Rudy, will probably have to see a dealer again. i mentioned this during my last service a couple of months ago, all they managed to do was stickind a couple of CDs inside and scraching their heads, unable to say anything. i didnt insist on proper check, had no time. thats the story
