It doesn't turn on by just opening the door, but I noticed the dvd processor was running, so i decided to hit the power button to see what would happened and it turned on and started playing music and the nav was running...is this normal?

I had my battery die this weekend randomly after sitting for 2 days straight w/o running so I might be jumping the gun with this one but I'm trying to find the source!

Yes, this is a feature that is also on the C32 and I use it often. If I recall correctly, it automatically turns off after 15 minutes or so to conserve the battery.

Battery could be draining from different things, here was a quick search: https://mbworld.org/forums/search.php?searchid=10629832

Yes, normal if the car is unlocked for a certain amount of time
