Did you also install subs/amp? Does the CD player turn on? And you just get no sound? bimmerfreak1957 03-14-2008, 01:08 PM yep no sound at all... i have a sub and amp im going to install but havent yet i just wanted to get the hu un there first.... and yes it has power but i have no sound at all from the radio or a cd wsmc831 03-14-2008, 01:10 PM and you didn't come up with anything in this forum searching for blue/white wire or remote wire? strange, as it's been discussed so much.... Dante2004 03-14-2008, 01:37 PM Are the speakers in your car (currently) powered by an amp? bimmerfreak1957 03-14-2008, 01:48 PM yeah hey are running off the factory amp.... Dante2004 03-14-2008, 02:08 PM Ok...then I would focus on post #2. Sounds like your stereo is not "telling" the factory amp to turn on. bimmerfreak1957 03-14-2008, 02:55 PM Ok...then I would focus on post #2. Sounds like your stereo is not "telling" the factory amp to turn on. alright ill see what i can do i have another question now too for you...ifi run my sub and amp do i have to remove my factory amp or do i leave it? bear535i 03-16-2008, 02:40 PM i have the exact same problem. and i cannot find the blue/white wire up front either. but i found it coming from the amp. are there any pictures or anything? ty20404 03-16-2008, 09:12 PM http://www.pelicanparts.com/bmw/techarticles/E36-Radio/E36-Radio.htm I want to say that on the FACTORY side, the amp turn on is WHITE. All white. I was just messing with it today. But I'm not positive. But it could also be different for you because I have a 99 328is. bbking9 03-16-2008, 10:27 PM If the amp is only driving the sub - leave the factory amp to drive all the other speakers. ty20404 03-16-2008, 10:54 PM i have the exact same problem. and i cannot find the blue/white wire up front either. but i found it coming from the amp. are there any pictures or anything? Blue White in the Bimmer is NOT the remote wire!!!! like i said, it is the solid white wire. Pin 16. LOOK AT THIS DIAGRAM. The speaker wire colors are not proper for the HK system, but everything else is proper. http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k287/carbonhazard/e36radiowiringdiagram.gif |
