Copy-protected audio CD cannot be played
E31, E32, E34, E36, E38, E39, E46, E52, E53, E65, E66, E85
Complaint:
Audio CDs with the label:
"This CD is copy-protected and cannot be played on a PC"
can be played only scrambled or not at all in the vehicle.
Affected vehicles:
All (with CD player)
Production period:
From series launch
Cause:
Copy-protected CDs do not correspond to a certain guideline that CD manufacturers must
comply with. Digital signal processing as takes place when copying CDs with the PC is
prevented.
The above problem may occur as the signal processing required to playback audio CD data
takes place by means of digital/analogue conversion in the vehicle.
Remedy:
Return the CD to the CD dealer and complain! These CDs should be recalled from the
market as is already the case in Great Britain.
This is not a problem that BMW AG can be blamed for but rather it is solely due to CD
manufacturers who do not comply with the audio CD standard.
Procedure:
---
