Bmw M2 Harman Kardon Problems
Hello everybody!
This is my first post and i'm pretty desperate as i no longer want to drive the car when it's making these noises. My HK sound system recently started crackling and popping. I'm really bad when it comes to car audio and really have no idea what to look for It makes the sounds whenever the battery is on so it basically only stops when the car has been turned of for about 30sec. I will probably send videos to bmw and se if they can fix the problem on a "GOOD WILL" as i have no warranty left. But just wanted to check if any of you have had the same problem as me |

It is a documented problem that water sometimes gets into the amp and fries it. Most people have had the problem when they get their cars tinted. You need to pay your dealer a visit.

Dealers have been fitting a cover to prevent the issue happening. Was applied to my car without my knowledge whilst in for other work.
I've had my rear light clusters replaced for similar issues. Not sure if this is classed as a recall though. |

Can you still listen to music if the amp is fried? Cause i still can listen to music, but the popping sound is still there. As said when it comes to car audio i'm completely useless haha. |

So you think they would replace it free of charge as it's a known issue? |

I had this issue on my 2017 M2. Replacement cost was about $2300 including installation.

Had the car 3 days and now no audio. Seemed to correspond with getting a text via CarPlay?
Or, just a bad amp? Any advise other than a trip to the dealer? |
