    Radio works sporadically

    I have a 1994 325i with the factory radio. Sometimes it wants to work and other times it doesn’t want to. The radio is lit up constantly. Any ideas? Also, I’m not sure if it’s relevant but the battery is completely shot. I know, I know before you state the obvious, the car is running. I just picked it up and had to jump it with a jumper pack. I’m planning on getting a battery within the next few days.

    In my case water was collecting on the top of the amplifier, in the electrical connector. I used a plastic produce bag to create a shield for the top of the amp.

    question, what would be the case if amp or box are not damp/wet but the speakers are in and out, would i have to replace speakers? if so, would the BavaSound upgrade be plug and play?

    The nice part of the BavSound ‘kit’ is that they are ohm matched and plug-n-play.
