My Ride: Now Driving a Freakin' Prius!
Was...
2004 545i | SMG | White/Black | Sport | NAV | Logic 7 | PDC | Fold-down Seats | Adaptive Headlights | Cold Weather Pkg | Clear-again Bra | Mud Flaps | Bluetooth | Coat Hangar | Aux Input | All Weather Mats | 18"X8.5" BBS RK w/ Michelin Pilot Alpin's (winter) | New steering rack @ 1.2K & 17K miles| Software V.19.1 | B&B Exhaust (vrrrroooooommm!) <---Click.
I'm driving on the Mass Pike today, try to enter a destination in the NAV but it is non responsive.
Then, it starts spinning very fast. It keeps doing it for about 3 minutes.
Throughout my drive it happened off and on.
I'm talking to a friend of mine and mention what had happened when all of the sudden the knob starts spinning again - just like it heard me. Scary!!

One of the older service bulletins referred to this issue i believe. I'll take a look tonight and see if I can find it.
Later - it was supposedly an issue and fixed with CIP 16.1 and YOU have been able to resurrect it on 19.1, aren't you special

Thanks.
Got a call from my SA today.
He wants to change the knob motor.
Somehow I don't think that is the problem.
I was able to reproduce it.
The knob would spin if I was on a phone call (bluetooth).
As soon as I terminated the call, the knob stopped.
