    I have three stock e34 540 cassette radios of unknown operational condition I am willing to send you for shipping if you are interested.

    I bought a CD43 a few years ago and am using the GROM USB unit which does USB sticks, Android phones and Bluetooth.

    Thanks for the offer. I have not had a minute to even take the covers off the amp yet. I am however not liking no radio on my work drive so as soon as I can I will open this amp up. I really don't think it's the radio but it also has it's own issues. Do you have the codes for them?

    Dang it , been so long since I took them out I have lost track of the codes.. I will see about what I can get with the titles..I think I have all the titles for the three 540's I've owned... the dealership will give me the codes if I have the titles I hear.

    Played with the amp, definitely a capacitor somewhere... Nothing obvious yet.

    No, it's the amp. A bad solder joint somewhere but fret not! Driving the wife and kid today and the radio was making staticy sounds, I mentioned that she is trying today lol. Wham! On it goes and worked for over an hour. No clue if it will work again but I am willing to say it might work for another year or so.
