So my ipod interface died..

When I plug my ipod in it makes the screen go all jumbled and it flashes erratically. Bits and pieces of music will play but only for a split second at a time.

There's nothing wrong with my ipod or iphone..both work perfectly outside my car.

Anyone else experienced this yet? I'm assuming it's under warranty..It came from the factory with the option.

And we still have a Lexus that we bought at PP Grapevine. They're starting to bring them hear to so call too, i've seen a few park place license plates from OC/LA I think.

Ewing in Plano was gonna give me a Malibu and I said no and they gave me a C300 instead, no questions asked.

Moritz BMW in Arlington gave me a ****box Kia Spectra once. They claimed they "only give out BMW loaners to customers that purchased their vehicles at that dealership" and I had bought the car when I was living in Boston.

Actually, that is true. I don't normally get a loaner when I take my car back to the local dealership. They stated that only cars purchased at their shop are entitled to complimentary loaners. Just befriend the SA and they can give you a loaner. loaners are given at their discretion.

I could understand this with like...Honda. But when you're paying $600 for an "oil change" you'd think they could give you a loaner lol.

I test drove a 335 at BMW of Dallas a couple years back..brought a girl with me and let her drive it as well. Mid test drive the salesman screamed at her for driving poorly (like a chick) and made her pull over and switch drivers. LOL

Test drove a 328 coupe at Classic in Plano and the salesman was cool as hell..young guy. Never went for service there though.

hahah wtf. Idk how i would react if a salesman started commenting on how i drove during a test drive, or told me to pull over and switch drivers.

btw, were you in the market to buy one of those beems?

I was semi-seriously looking...almost bought a 3er coupe instead of the Benz.

And I forget exactly what happened..I think she switched lanes and almost clipped a car in her blind spot. It was something anyone couldve done and she avoided the car in time, the salesman def overstepped imo.
