  1. Fixed the radio, added bluetooth

    Posted by Unknown on 25th Sep 2021

    Great service, worked as advertised. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to service the factory radio in their E36 BMWs.

  2. Display and tape deck repair

    Posted by Gabriel I. on 9th Jul 2021

    Excellent, responsive and fast service. Will definitely use the service again if needed. He was able to trouble shoot my tape deck and repair it as well.

  3. Amazing service

    Shipped my radio out and got it within the same week, not only did it look like new but it somehow sounds way better than it did before. If you’re looking for a radio fix. Do not hesitate to chose bavte.

  4. Great work!

    Called the number advertised at the top of the page as I wanted to ensure the company indeed repairs your own radio as opposed to sending you another refurbed unit. He confirmed via text very promptly that they indeed do send you your own unit back. I also informed him in my grand genius of self repair I broke off a connector attached to the volume knob. He was able to quickly repair and have it sent back to me within less than 2 weeks! I was extremely happy, reinstallation of the radio confirmed it's working extremely well! Couldn't be happier!

  5. Works Like New

    Posted by Paul on 22nd Aug 2020

    The factory radio on our 1998 BMW 328i was showing it's age. The display was faded out so bad most of the time you couldn't read it and the volume control knob would turn and turn but not actually change the volume at all.
    Now, the display is bright and always on and the volume knob adjust the volume as you would expect.
    I sent my radio out on a Saturday, had an email notifying me when it arrived for repair, received another email when it was shipped back (two days after it arrived) and it was back in the car the following Monday. 10 days total from when I pulled it out until it was back in and working.
    Highly recommend; would use them again.

  6. Fast professional Service

    Dealing with Tomas was an absolute pleasure! I sent my radio in for a volume issue and Bluetooth upgrade. The radio came back looking as good as new and also working great! Never thought I could have Bluetooth capability in my e36 M3!
    Very happy and will be doing business with Tomas for all my BMW electronics needs.

  7. radio display fixed

    Posted by Unknown on 8th Nov 2019

    They fixed the display as advertised and with a quick turn around. The problem is probably cold solder joints and is apparently a common problem for this radio. I've seen similar problems on my older cars. Vibration and heat eventually causes solder joints to crack and become intermittent.

  8. prompt and efficient

    Posted by Unknown on 5th Apr 2019

    Sent my radio and it was fixed in one day, as advertised. Couldn’t ask for nicer service.

  9. BMW E36 C43 Radio Cassette Stereo Repair

    Posted by Richard Sherry on 24th May 2017

    I had nearly given hope of seeing my cassette radio operating again and was searching for a replacement when I found BAVTEK's website. I was very pleasantly surprised when I received the repaired unit within the week in full working order. I still have some issues with the amplifier or something external to the radio but the radio itself works like new. I would highly recommend BAVTEK for any similar repair, or other work for that matter, based on their quick, professional and quality service at a very reasonable price. I will happily do business with them in the future.

This Service is to repair your Radio Stereo C33/C43 Cassette Head Unit. With our repair, you do not need to take your car to the dealer for programming. Since your Original Unit is remanufactured, it is a plug and play repair process. We guarantee to repair your unit to your satisfaction. If your radio is not powering up, LCD is Dim, or Volume is not adjusting, I can repair that in this service.
Any cosmetic issues like sticky/worn rubber knob, plastic buttons or damaged LCD's are not covered under this repair. However I might have parts available at an additional cost. You can send me a text with an image of your unit and I can get you a quote. 
 
 
Bluetooth 4.0 Integration (optional)

Due to lots of requests I have figured out the way to add bluetooth into these vintage units. The bluetooth will work with the cassette player and will only work when the cassette is playing. A blank cassette will be supplied when I send the unit back. The Bluetooth circuit will be installed inside the radio so it will be clean as stock and no visible signs of modification. Also since the circuit board is wired directly to the chips, you're not going to have the loss of quality like you would on the Cassette Aux adapters they sell in stores.

 
Problems That Require This Repair Service:

LCD Display Is Dark, No Backlighting

Volume Not Adjusting Properly, Or Spins Freely

Randomly Shutting Itself Off

Any Dead Buttons That Do Not Depress We Will Fix Them As Well

We Will Even Accept Attempted Repairs At No Extra Cost

PLEASE NOTE: If your LCD is Sun Damaged or Delaminating, I do not repair that in this service! LCD's might be available for an additional cost but please contact me if this is your situation.
