Command Center crapping out

Keeps clicking on and off every 30 seconds or so? MB says it's a quick fix by using some CD or flash drive inserted? Don't know what they are talking about.
Any comments?

A guy on the W211 forum had the same problem. He discovered he had a cord plugged into his aux port with no device on the other end. He removed the cord and it fixed the problem.
