FM radio problems. Weird
My 530i's idrive radio is very staticky and cuts in and out bad. Almost like there is no antenna (at least that's what it sounds like). The cd sounds perfect. It's only on the radio. Is it possible that the antenna plug in the back of the idrive worked itself loose and is coming out or is it a more serious software problem?
Someone mentioned it could be the diversity antenna. Is there a way I can test this before replacing it? |

You might have a bad TCU unit. Here is a link related to your problem...http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=327575

What about the Angel Eyes would have an effect on the FM single reception? I have replaced mine without issue.
