Water spilled all over the MPM and caused I-drive, radio and bluetooth to not work. Replaced MPM and checked for any burn fuses and problem persist. Any help greatly appreciated.
I have a long drive to work and no radio is killing me.

Yikes - that looks like your electronics were hit by "Earl"!
Was your trunk leaking and undetected a long time ??
I know there are legit places that sell refurbed BMW modules and they advertise in the Roundel. The e60's been around for several years so re-manufactured electronics should be more available, But before replacing anything sort out the leak problem. I wonder if your auto comprehensive insurance coverage would help out in this case? Have you thought about filing a claim?

NO had a galloon of water which leak out and was detected as soon I started to smell a burning odor. I got a new module but no luck. Heres a pic of the new MPM that I got from BMW around my area.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ hope you have it

I'm not sure what's this maybe a fuse? it was next to the Micro Power Module. I'm thinking on replacing this for a new one? Don't know what to do.

that looks like a relay.
did you double check all the fuses? both in trunk and behind glove box?
i heard there is also a fuse behind the CCC.
did you try searching the forum?

Yes I double check all fuses both in trunk and behind glove box. What is the CCC? I did search out this problem in the forum and ending up buying the MPM. Thanks for your input.
