Default Always starts on radio, not CD

I have a 2006, think its professional as iy has widescreen. If I am listening to the CD changer when I shut the car off, when I start it back up again, its switched to radio. Is there a way to set to stay on CD?

You may just need a software update. I'd have an indy BMW specialist diagnose it just to be sure.

I would program the driver settings to see if that works first. Set everything up the way you want it then go through the memory save procedure. That's utilizing the M1/2 buttons on the side of the driver seat. If it doesn't work you can code it in but that process is probably out of your scope.

I only have half electric.

Using it at weekend, it was sporadic. Sometimes it started back on CD, other times on the radio.
