Every time I unlock and enter the car, the 6 CD changer in the glove box cycles through (loads/unloads) all 6 CDs. It's a bit of a pain Is this normal?

Thanks.

no this is not normal... have it checked!!

 

I had the same thing happen on mine. The problem turned out to be that the battery did not have enough of a charge, so all the peripherals that normally run are shut down. The dealer replaced the battery under the 4 year warranty.
It could also be a problem with the car not going in to "sleep mode", where something is drawing a charge from the battery.
The dealer should be able to diagnose and remedy.

 

=========================



Mine does "loads" in the glovebox changer and makes that annoying sound, but it dont do it always. I have had problems with the six disk icons that you can click on will not lighting up so I can select a CD to play!! I had it back into BMW and they can never get it to fail! What is go out completly after my 4yr/50,000 miles BMW waranty does!!! (LOL)

I had the same issue and that's exactly what my SA / technician noted on my ticket.

 

Thanks. I'll get the battery checked at the next service.

I am not sure about the battery, i have this same issue and have replaced the battery, both with a OEM one, and now an Interstate battery, i get the same thing, I have nothing aux plugged in no cell charger etc... and yet i get the same thing almost but not every time i get in,
I will check the sleep mode, and i have scheduled to have the i drive updated, but i have also read it is possible my earth ground on the battery is not properly secure, but i have not found which wire that is in there, if anyone can point it out it would be great,

this is the first and only issue i have with my 545i, but i feel the frustration of people that have this problem, it is weird,


I am also having them run a diagnostic on the alternator just incase,

 

At the independant service I had the battery tested out of the car amd an earth leakage test and all is ok. No error codes either. I'm now at a loss what this is. Sometimes after a run and then the car is left for a short while, when re-entering the CD changer cycles again, yet surely the battery must have had a good charge minutes earlier? I'm sure it hasn't always done this so not sure how a software error could have crept in somewhere??? Trying to avoid a main dealer bill if possible

 

See this thread....similar problem?
