BMW K1200LT Professional Radio Repair


What your Radio unit looks like 

Note, there are many different part numbers, but the units are the same. The only difference is the firmware version on them, which will get upgraded to the newest version anyway.

Types of BM54 Faults

-Amp Upgrade. The most common one, is the IC Amps failing and causing one or more speaker to stop functioning, or causing distortion. This can happen permanently, or after about 10 seconds to a minute of switching it on. And if you are really unlucky all 4 channels would have gone off. As long as you can still change radio channels, switch between Modes, and the amber light is still ON, then the unit is 100% repairable. 

The bonus of having this repair done, is that the sound will be improved. The usual power output is 15-20 watts, and the after the repair, you are running 45 watts. Here are some great comments on my work http://forums.m3cutters.co.uk/showthread.php?p=672474 (Note, the BM54 units are very similar units)


-Processor chip replacement. Buzzing, squealing type noise as shown in the video below. 



   

 


This fault usually starts at very low volumes, and eventually spreads like a virus, to the point that you hear at all volume, bass, treble settings. Again, 100% repairable. 

It is very rare to have both amps fail, and this fault to happen at the same time. However, if you do have both faults, I can do one of them half price. 


-No power. The unit stops powering on and no display on the controls for the radio. The first thing you should do, is disconnect the radio unit for 30 minutes, and reconnect again. This will occasionally bring it back to life. The repair success on these are 65%. 


-Water damaged Check for water damage inside. Water damaged is NOT repairable. I have plenty of these water damaged units, my Becker graveyard. 


Additional Upgrades



- RCA Preouts Channel Outs for after market amps, is also available on request from a cost of £30.  Will also come with 12v Remote cable for easy plug and play for your after market amp  installation. 


Auxiliary input options

-Bluetooth Music Streaming via mobile phone, which does not effect the Bluetooth connection you already have in your car for phone calls. This is available for £90.


-Iphone/Ipod connection, which will charge your device and play music via the car. This is the 30pin connection and the cost is £80.

 

 -3.5mm Jack input, default is usually a male connection. You can have female also, which can make a nice OEM installation somewhere in your car. The cost for either male or female is £50.
