Possible electrical gremlins

[wasupdu]

I've recently found a couple relatively minor electrical problems/issues with my '05 Z4.

1 - The radio station presets don't really work. I say this because the NAV display will show radio station 93.7 but will actually be playing 101.3. I've tried re-programming the presets and I still get the same thing....it displays one radio station, but plays another. I use the radio very rarely so I guess it's not a big deal.

2 - The center console light (where the CD changer and DVD slot are located) stays on for roughly 20 MINUTES after I leave the car unlocked and remains ON the entire time while I'm driving (even on 3+ hour trips). When I lock the car it turns the light off instantly. Is this normal?

thoughts?

Hm....interesting.
1. Do you have the latest software installed?
2 - Sounds like a broken switch to me. Have you tried to press the switch in the middle/bottom of the center console door. It would be hard to get to it but it's possible. Use some kind of strong wire or small screwdriver. When you press the switch the light should go off. If the light will stay ON after you press the button than your switch is broken or disconnected.
"I lock the car it turns the light off instantly. Is this normal?" - that is normal. 3 hour light I think not normal.
