Spoke too soon......last night when I was using my CD changer and I started to hear static (playing normal CDs). I let it go thinking i will fix it next time I take it in for service. Then about 10 minutes later, the whole comand system shuts off. It reboots and turns back on in about 30 secs. This was my original problem when I started this thread. I am starting to think it is something more than that software upgrade I got 2 weeks ago. Anyone with a similar experience? This is getting annoying.....

Brav:

Yeah, we'll meet sometime next week. Will PM you.

Did you happen to catch the article in the Sunday LA Times Magazine about Orange County and "affluenza"? They spend a lot of time with the comments of the sales manager of Fletcher Jones M-B in Newport Beach, concerning Orange County M-B drivers. Very funny stuff. The guy says that not long ago he couldn't stand chrome wheels on an M-B, or one other kind of cosmetic enhancement, and he now appreciates both.

I saw it - kinda interesting, but not breaking news (to me anyway). Chrome still cheapens any car.
