My Ride: E61 525iA Build 2004/08. "Safirschwartz Metallic". Navi Pro, Adaptive Headlights, Bi-Xenon, Panorama Sunroof etc... CIP 18.00.01 (No noticed bug)
Default

I beleive errors described below aren't relevant in the U.S.

#1 I have a number of preset RDS-channels on my radio pro (let's call them C1, C2, C3, Cn...). Sometimes when I start, the channel in use is C3. After a while I hear this static noise (as described in other posts). I then press the "+" button on my steering wheel to go to next channel (C4). It takes 3-5 seconds (a not expected delay), then the radio "throws" me to C1 or any used/unused frequency.... After that small disfunction, i can step normally back to C3 and the noise is gone and everything seems to be working as intended. Not a fatal error, but irritating (Yes, I have CIP 18.1 sw).

#2 After parking in an underground garage with C3 (a local channel w/ RDS but no traffic information) set, the radio won't find the traffic information unless i change to C2 (channel where the traffic information is sent from) and then back to C3. After that the traffic info is continously updated as intended. As I understand the radio pro has dual tuners just so that it could collect traffic information even if I'm listening to a "non-info" channel.
When I park in the street or in a above ground garage, this does'nt happen. The bug seems to appear when the radio completely looses signal.
