E46 radio stopped working

[Hornsey]

Help, I can't get any music in my car! The radio appears to have stopped working on my M3. The power button clicks but the light next to it does not illuminate. All other functions appear to be working fine (sat nav/tv/computer etc). Is there a separate fuse for the radio function.

I apologise for this simple question but I can't lay my hands on the manual at this moment in time.

There is a fuse but it is also quite common for the power/volume button to fail as everyone uses the steering wheel buttons and not the main button. You can get a new button in various styles to match the trim on ebay or just a standard oem one, part numbers and diagram here though check fuses and the power cable connection etc. first if there is no power getting to it.

Great, thanks. I'll have a better look tomorrow lunchtime.

Well it's working again. No blown fuses but after I removed and re-inserted them everything is back to how it should be. Cheapest 'repair' I've ever done I think!
