BMW 328 I Radio Problem

[pacienda]

The factory installed Business Radio on my 96 BMW, has started acting up. It switches off by itself during operation and then comes on again asking for the CODE, I know the code and it starts working again but only for a limited time.

Any suggestions or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

i dont know, altho the re-entering of the code seems to indicate that the unit is losing power. . . so i supposed you can check for a loose connection or some other type of electrical problem.

sorry if this does not help much. . .

Check the fuses in the car and under the hood.
You're losing power to the radio.
When the radio goes out, check other accessories (i.e. power windows, mirrors, locks, the light in the glove box ).
