What is the reason why the BMW audio is muted and cannot be turned on?

It may be muted. You can directly press the volume increase button on the vehicle's multimedia controls to cancel the mute. The button is located on the steering wheel of the vehicle. Here is some additional information: Introduction: BMW (abbreviated as BMW) is a German automobile brand under the BMW Group. It has four model series: i, X, Z, and pure numbers, as well as series such as 1, 2, 3, and the M series, which is improved based on these series. History: BMW, Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, is one of the world's renowned automobile companies and a pioneer in the production of high-end cars. BMW was founded in 1916 and is headquartered in Munich, Germany. Over the past 80 years, it has evolved from an aircraft engine manufacturer into a corporate group that focuses on premium cars and also produces globally acclaimed aircraft engines, off-road vehicles, and motorcycles, ranking among the top 20 automobile companies in the world. BMW is also translated as "Bayer" in some regions.
A few days ago, the audio system in my BMW suddenly went mute and wouldn't turn back on no matter what, which was really frustrating. I think it might be because I accidentally pressed the mute button on the steering wheel too quickly, or the infotainment system froze. I suggest you check the volume buttons on the center console and steering wheel, as accidental presses can sometimes cause the system to stay muted. Additionally, restarting the system might help: turn off the engine, wait for five minutes, and then start it again to let the infotainment system soft reset. If that doesn't work, check if there's a Bluetooth setting conflict and try disconnecting your phone. I learned online that BMW's audio module might automatically protect itself due to unstable voltage, so check if the battery terminals are loose or worn out. This kind of issue isn't too serious, but don't ignore it, as it could distract you while driving. If you still can't fix it, take it to a professional shop for a check-up—don't try to dismantle it yourself.
