You can always try a feed from the front speakers to the rears to see if you get some noise out, or even a feed from another source at home to see if the speakers are the problem or whether there is really no feed ?

Though from your post, sounds like you may have proven the above, and you may have channels down on your amp.

The Vogue has the BM54 BMW/Harman Kardon amp in it, which I understand can be problematic as it gets older, and could give you the symptoms you describe.

A member on here (Baris) does an amp upgrade, whereby a higher quality more powersul amp is soldered into your existing unit. This not only repairs any channel issues, but gives a very good sound quality improvement. Do a search on here for "BM54" or "Baris". Before you go that route, I'd give him a call or do some more checks to better ensure thats your problem.

Have you checked the connections to the amp in the boot ?

The BM54 is actually the radio module, but the power amps are inside it.

There should be a DSP unit in the boot too. Not sure how this fits into the equation. I think that processes the sound into discrete channels and then feeds the power amps, so that may also be a culprit at this stage ?

So I'd double check the connectors in the boot and make sure there is also no water ingress in that area.

Perhaps pull the connectors off and reconnect them...etc....etc.......

Good luck

Thanks for your reply, the BM54 has allready been upgraded and the dsp replaced due to water damage. Perhaps i'll just feed from the front speakers although it would be nice to find the problem and sort it properly.
regards
Tim

Hi Tim,

Sounds like you have already done the "logical stuff".

I didn't mean take a permanent feed from the front, I just meant for fault finding. See if the speakers actually work OK.........

If you have already proven the units, all I can suggest is tracing the wires back to fault find.

You could take a feed straight from the BM54 with wires and bypass the cars wiring, again just to fault find........

The wiring diagrams are on RAVE if you have that. If not, there is a download link in the wiki.

Let us know if you get any further. 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8
