Single CD always starts at track 1

Anybody know how to get the CD player in the COMAND to not keep starting the CD over at track 1 every time you start the engine? Someday I'd like to hear the end of the CD....Am I missing an option that I need to check? Or is it just "the way it's supposed to be" and stupid?

Mine works fine

Steve, my CD player and the player in the command unit both start off where they left off on the CD after starting the car again. I don't know of any setting and I don't know why yours starts at the beginning each time either.

Sounds like a software glitch. Are you losing your radio presets too? You may have a blown radio memory fuse.

No, radio presets stay. Problem seems to be that the CD is auto-ejecting when I turn off the ignition, then reloads itself when I start again, thinking it's a new CD, so starting over again. Why do you think it's autoejecting ever time it powers down? Does yours do that?
