applied as these can become detached during
playback due to heat buildup and can cause
irreparable damage to the device.

General malfunctions
BMW CD/DVD changers and players have been
optimized for performance in vehicles. In some
instances they may be more sensitive to faulty
CDs/DVDs than stationary devices would be.

data-creation or recording processes, or poor
quality or high age of the CD/DVD blank.

pen intended for this purpose.

ture.
