tbal, I just noticed that since my software update that was done a couple days ago I have the exact same issue you are having. Have you found a solution yet?

Interesting comment re: CD + dodgy fan = battery. I too have a CD/Radio which won't remember it's position between drives and occasionally "chatters" on entry. I had the battery tested and all was ok, so perhaps the test was wrong? I get low battery warnings from time to time.
I would have thought the alternator would take the strain when driving and then these potential battery related issues would disappear? Yet I've found this not to be the case as they are all still present.
I may splash out and get a new battery regardless....

I have the same problem and I have a bad battery. And I was also told that the blow heater is one of those things that the car prtially drops out when the voltage is low.
