What it covers

A service bulletin tells BMW technicians how to diagnose or fix a known issue. It is not a recall: a repair under a bulletin is normally paid by the owner unless the car is still under warranty or a warranty extension applies.

Headunit-Basic Does Not Start Up and "BMW" Is Permanently Displayed. The Headunit-Basic (HU-B), also called Radio Professional or the ENTRY head unit, does not start up and "BMW" is permanently displayed on the CID (Central Information Display). No fault code is stored in the head unit.
