I've tried everything to remedy this problem to no avail. I've tried Ferrite chokes, etc. Nothing works.

I'm afraid to even get metallic tints now because I won't be able to hear a damn thing through my radio if I do.
Do you have navi + sharkfin ? I've got my LEDs here ready to install but haven't done so yet. It would be nice to know in advance if (by having navi) I can't possibly get that FM interference.

Hi, did you managed to fix the FM issue at the end?
I do have 2005 may 525D no SATNAV. Just upgraded my original bulbs to LED?s and getting problems and nothing else apart problems. I do get error messages and also they are blocking my FM radio.
Any help would be appreciated.

I guess this is a bad news for me then. I went through 15 pages regarding led?s error message cure and fm interference, but could not find anything. I have contacted person that I bought them from and he is said that he never heard any think like it. Also he said that it should not send error messages. I would think that the bulb is faulty, but both sides are doing the same.
I was wondering of where antenna is located in cars with no satnav?
