Q: No sound coming from speakers - BMW 525xi

asked by on September 21, 2016

My speakers in my BMW started to make snapping noises. It even did this when the car was turned off, and the noise never stopped. I am not getting any sound from the interior speakers either. I only get a faint sound from the trunk. Do you know how I can fix this? It’s really frustrating.
