Hey guys. So finally got to working on the car this weekend. I notice that I have no sound from the radio, or speakers I should say, as I assume engine chimes go through them too. I bought the car with a complete dead battery, so I replaced the battery. I was informed that the radio did work when it was parked 2 years ago. I saw a YouTube video about connecting the radio to a computer and taking it out of transport mode? Is this my case? Where do I get the proper software for this?
thanks for any advise

 

You more so need a BMW code reader, or else you could be on a wild goose chase.

 

any one you recommend?

 

I've owned several, they're pretty much all the same, well the lower priced ones are.

 

Will this do what i need?

 

Yes. I had that same exact model.

 

This is pretty much the same thing, AUTOPHIX 5900 All-Systems Diagnostic Scan Tool OBD2 Scanner Code Reader for BMW | eBay.

 

Perfect! Will I be able to turn off of transport mode with this?

 

No, it's just a DTC code reader.
