Hi

Have a look on the cd multi changer and see if there is a tiny pin hole, if so poke a pin inside and it should open, not all these BMW Systems have this feature but my 3 series did so worth a look. most likely it needs a new cartridge or it needs cleaning, check for any out of placve cds or ones that have come of the main rack.

Hope that helps, please send me the model number from the CD chnager if you want more info

Regards
Dan

Press and hold eject button,insert credit card or similar under cartridge
Push firmly in move left/right ,this will locate micro switch

try fitting a new rubber door seal to the rear door.

Make sure you have discs the right way up
Easy mistake,turn one disc and see if car reads it
If not faulty cd stacker

get it diagnosed correctly before you end up buring up the catalytic converters.

2000 bmw 528i,my cd changer also reads no cds,this seem to be a common problem with all bmw cd changer.Anyway i removed the cd changer from my car,took the outside black cover apart only to see that a white big wheel came of its place,(its the wheel that holds the cd in place from the top (bottom wheel is black attached directly to the motor,as the cd is sandwitched between the black,and white wheels) .if that wheel is out of place the cd will not turn inside the changer for the eye to read it,so your radio screen will read NO CD OR NO DISC.Very easy fix,just place the wheel in its place,and everything worked fine,it took me 20 minutes to fix.
p.s :
1- you do need to make sure you have an original cd in for testing it.
2- you do not need to recode your cd changer at the dealer if you have an old bmw,dealer will need to recode cd changers for 2006 and up.
Good luck.

check any fuses

If you go to www.crutchfield.com they will have a menu for all upgrades to your vehicles sound system including which head units (or stereos) will fit your Bimmer.

Hello There.

My guess would be that your sat nav was retro fitted, i'e not factory fitted. Who ever fitted it didn't use the correct wiring harness. It seems they may have used a wiring harness which didn't have the connection for a CD changer.

If you want to get this fixed you will need to replace the wiring harness which means stripping out the entire interior of your car, i.e seats, carpet, door panel. or you can live with the single CD which works.

If my answer has solved your problem, please rate me on fixya.

Thank you
