My 5301 is 10k miles. Lately I am receiving a message Excessive Battery Drain every morning. Never happens in day time. This starts just after a very cold morning 3 weeks ago. The dealer checked and said they could not trace the problem.

Am I the only one who have seen this issue?
How can I tell my software version?

Does your vehicle has some sort of tracking device installed ?
It is known problem here in SA, current drain higher than 50mA triggers that message.

I'm running a trickle charger on mine now. It wouldn't start yesterday, but I have had it sitting a bit lately.
