      My player also says it is made by Alpine for BMW.  As for the
      wiring, if I remember right, the radio has 4 wires to each of
      the four speakers, and the grounds for those speakers come back
      to the fader like this:

                                    FADER
      from front speaker  --------/\/\/\/\/\------- from rear speaker
      grounds (2 wires)               ^             grounds (2 wires)

      I have the same car... and had the tape player do the same to me
      recently.  The problem is there is a small rubber belt inside
      the player to drive the tape mechanism.  The belt on your tape
      player has broken.  I changed the belt myself on mine when it
      broke, but it was NOT easy.  If you don't feel comfortable
      working around electronics, I'd strongly suggest you have
      somebody qualified replace it for you...
