    E39 some radio buttons not working

    Anybody know the reason why button 4 and 5 on the presets on my e39 oem radio don't respond anymore?
    If I scroll through the stations through the mfsw they are fine but when I physically press button 5 or 4 nothing happens

    Is it an iris unit or a mid unit?

    You can unscrew the fascia and check the contacts behind the buttons, I'm nearly sure the buttons are assembled in pairs.

    I might have a mid floating about

    Thanks Will give it a shot
    As I said the buttons will all cycle thru the mfsw but not if you physically press 5 or 4

    You can disconnect the mid and the steering wheel controls will still work.
