How to reset the radio on a BMW X5?

I recently purchased a used BMW X5 and the radio seems to be locked and not working. Can someone please guide me on how to reset the radio and get it back to functioning properly?

Hi Emily, to reset the radio on your BMW X5 you can try pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds. If that doesn't work, try disconnecting the car battery for a couple of minutes and then reconnecting it. If the issue persists, it might be a more complex problem and you may need to take it to a BMW dealership for further assistance.

Hi Emily, have you tried checking the audio settings on your iDrive system? Sometimes the radio may be muted or set to a different device. You can also try updating the software for your iDrive system. If all else fails, you can try resetting the iDrive system itself. Hope this helps!

Hi Emily, another possible solution is to check the fuse box for the radio. There might be a blown fuse preventing it from working. You can also try replacing the radio fuse with a new one to see if that solves the issue. Best of luck!
