I put the key into the car ignition & pushed the start button but got no sound from the system, nothing played, the Radio, CD changer, CD in the radio. Took the key out put back in immediately, still nothing. I thought here we go a trip to the workshop.
Then after returning to the car after a one hour stop, did the same procedure and the radio came on as normal and has been fine since.
I used to have this intermittent issue with the E-Class that also has an electronic key, Im sure it has something to do with it, has anyone else experienced this?

I had the same type of problem with my 545i. In my situation about once a week I wouldn't get any sound after startup. No stereo, seat belt chime, nav. voice, PDC, or bluetooth sound. I don't see in your signature line that you have Logic 7 sound. Mine was related to the Logic 7 amp and it had to be replaced.
Thanks Cobradav for supplying me with the SIB so I could show my service rep!

this just happened to me right now, thought I'd search and see if anyone else had a similar issue... I only have about a 1000 miles on my car, I will wait an hour and see if the sound returns before freaking out. btw, i don't have logic7

Second time no clue what happened but I shut my car down and 2 hours later when I came back it was fine.
On an off note my alarm stopped working as well-but same thing. Shut it off and came back and find.
Seems like these cars are pretyy smart and can fix themselves. Kind of like a PC where a restart cures 90 percent of problems!

Was there a solution to this problem? Or was it let the car reset?
i have this problem currently and i notice that the "park" light/led on the shifter is not on anymore. Does anyone know if there is a fuse for these things not working to check? thanks in advance.

I had the same thing happen where no radio/sat/cd sound but voice commands worked. I called BMW assist and they suggested I turn the car off for 10 minutes and try again. It worked but it sounds like a Windows-type solution, REBOOT.

does any one know which fuse goes to the gear shift indicators (steptronic)? my park led does not turn on. and i have turned off the car for over an hour and over night, and still the same problem.
no sound from anything.
