I've had that same thing happen to me (S500/W220/'00) a few times over the last six years. It usually happens in hot weather. I think what is happening is the computer system that controls most of those functions needs to reboot. It is like your PC, laptop, cell phone, etc. It is called "progress."

I buy the re-boot theory but it was chilly here in San Diego this morning.

Not totally sure about heat for CD. It has been a while, but I distinctly remember the A/C going out on a 100 degree day once. Shut it down and restarted and voila!
