Radio works, but no sound ?

before you press the cd on button keep holding the eject button while you press power on, I know this works for computers etc.

Hmm sounds like could be that the car was hot jumped from a dead battery or was jumping another car and it may fried the stereo. Should be able get a factory replacement out a junk yard less than $50

STOCK FACTORY RADIO OR AFTER MARKET RADIO?
100% dead.?
scans ok , finds stations, but no sound
all modes,dead. aM/FM AND CD?
does the dial glow with head lights on>?
asks for a code?

all features dead? only the eject and insert works
radio dead, AM and FM?
does dial light up, and show that search stations scans and stops
on a station, (regardless of sound or not) if not ? all that is dea check fuses.
if fuse are good, its a bad head end.

time to upgrade to media center, no?

in all modes. new aftermarket or 1970.
the radio will play with radio , cassette, CD, or USB stick and even AUX to the iphone.
so are all dead? if yes,
that means.
the power pin is dead, (lights up does that mean dial lamps or you can see station tuning work, if just back lights that is not radio power
that is the park lights power.
the radio has power wire, main, that must be 12vdc or the radio and amp will be dead.
missing inline fuse. or blown?
most radios have 3 power pins and 1 ground
1: 12vdc power. main
2: 12vdc park lamp circuit, for dial.
3: memory.
4 : ground wire.
take all 4 to work right.
takes 1 and 4 to play music. at say USB port.

Margaret, this is free public forum , demands don't play here (free)
and you double posted. why do that.? if you wish to elaborate
try posting below 1st post, as an add.
and for better help? why not post to a BMW forum. (faster)
and no car year, posted or car options listed.

Radio year, model and Car Cell phone options.

no matter.......
the first check on all electronics, is the fuse
most radios have 3 power sources, (to make all features work)
and fuses are on all 3.
have you tried all sources, AM/FM CD, MP3 USB (if opted) .
are all modes dead?
the next check is to try all buttons on the radio. ?
is there a mute button? if car has 4 speaker try the fader lever.
front to rear. left to right , still dead.?
cycle modes. radio, cassette, CD 6 pack , what ever, but do cycle them all as older cars the mode switch can stick.

The RDS is radio station text messages. for song titles.
including time, station identification and programme information.
if this part really works, the RDS part this means the radio is working, but the power amp is dead or muted.
try balance and fader.
many radios (1000s) have fuses in the radio for the speaker amp
that can blow. (shorted speaker wires a prime reason)
or some have in line fuse. and others are in the cars fuse box
which varies by maker or model year.

ok , im looking at the stock radio on level C stock 1991 radio
and even back when (stock to me) the is RADIO muting
so if your car has Cell phone muting bingo that.
and a fuse at rear of radio, (unstated purpose)
guessing,id say there is lamp that glows, CELL mute?


conclusion, no car year stated, or year radio of not origional.

If you slide a CD inside, change the display from clock to CD counter and you can see the numbers go up meaning the CD is playing and there is no sound at all. There are a couple of things that could be responsible; The volume control could be intermitent. in this case tweeking the control back and fourth, fast and slow, push and pull should atleast make some kind of noice on the speakers.
I'm assuming the mute is not on since turning the unit off and back on will settle that. I know the fuse is not the problem because the CD will not play if the fuse was bad. I will have a professional check the audio output IC(s).

2008 Altima radio-the sound just quit working. Everything else seems to be OK. I can change the radio stations, but no sound. Is there a fuse that could be bad?

you can check for a bad connection on the back,i had the same problem but it was because right before that happend i had to jumpstart it and i burnt the internal amplifiers.

you have to take the radio out t fix this problem i believe its a small led light in the radio , get a small gooseneck map light and face it towards the radio to see the stations cheap fix . when you take out the radio you need the code to get the stations back it has a memory chip in it.mabey this helped
