[QUOTE="Iceduke, post: 31994, member: 3721"] Typical with the standard radio is that the volume knob tends to become loose which result in the inability to on/off. This is due to the plastic holding bracket has broken off. I guess after 10 years of repeated on/off it tends to disintegrate. Refer to red circle below.To fix just get your standard bamboo chopstick, measure the length between the knob and the holding area and cut it. I used 2 sticks for this purpose. Refer to the yellow squares. How long this fix wil last? No idea but its virtually FOC and approximately 1hr of labour time :)....[IMG]http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii539/vcchan/e46%20Volume%20Knob%20Fix/20121111_112548B.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
