Speaker Lights not working

Hey guys,

Just noticed early this morning that my Bowers and Wilkins speaker lighting no longer works on just the passenger side of the car. The speakers themselves are still working but the lights do not. Car is a 19 M5 comp with 7k miles.

Anyone experiences this or have any idea what may be the cause?

Just seeing if this is an easy fix before i take it to the dealer.

Thanks
Daniel

Maybe try turning them off in the menu and then back on again? If it's just that one I would think the led is faulty.

If it's a new problem and the settings in idrive for lighting are correct more than likely an issue isolated to the lighting in that speaker. Play with the settings and see if that does anything (doubt it) if not take to dealer.

If it's just one speaker than I doubt it's the settings. Sounds like a bad/loose wire.

Yes, I did. The dealer says there is nothing wrong... what does your dealer do to fix it?

Wait so you took it to the dealer for the lights not lighting up and they said it's working fine? You do have BW speakers right? Only they light up. HK do not.

Yes, I got bw speaker. I can tell that the passenger side speaker light is lighter than driver side. But the dealer can't fix it...

Ah and they won't even try. Have they acknowledged that there is a difference?

yeah they wanted to charge me just to look at it. My passenger side just is totally off and now my driver side is going dim. Do I have to replace the whole thing? Any help would be great

I had the rear right door one not lighting up, the dealer replaced it under warranty, took two visits, one to troubleshoot and order the part and got replaced during my next service.

I had a similar issue on the driver side door. Took it to the dealership and they replaced the speaker unit took about two or three weeks for the part to arrive from Germany.
