For the past few weeks I noticed that whenever I unlock my car the CD disc changer cycles through all the discs. Additionally, when I turn off the engine and keys still in ignition, the iDrive screen immediately goes off before opening door and the battery warning symbol comes on if keys are left in ignition for a few minutes. I've had the car for 4 years and do not recall ever having these issues. Battery was replaced by dealer about 2 and half years ago. Car runs fine, all electronics work fine while driving. Thoughts?
Thanks

A possible failing battery...??? I've had a few little stray electrons running around as well. The other the week when I had a fuel problem and a check engine light the dealer checked the car. They called back with the problem it was taken in for but also mentioned the battery was weak and had seen a couple of stored codes. If your car still has a warranty I would run it by the dealer and check if they can detect anything. Otherwise, if not under warranty, maybe a indy shop could test it out.
