It taks the disc in but will not work at all.

The CDC works fine, the DVD works fine too, its just the dash CD player.

Recently the steering wheel buttons and the I Drive stopped working occasionally.

The dealer says this is because the battery was low, which id say is crap as the idrive didnt work, and then 1 hr later worked fine.

Any one else had this problem?

this happened to me as well, had my cd player completely freeze as well as my idrive. Turned the car off for 30min went back and all was fine. Hasnt happened since, but if its happening more than once Id say theres something faulty with your car.

CD changer works fine, and so do discs from the DVD slot, whether they are mp3 or normal CD.

The idrive periodically freezes, the dealers have now agreed to do a software upgrade and fit a new cd

Only after telling me that it was the battery first, the dealers really do take the pi$$ sometimes as it means more hassle dropping and picking the car up
