OK so has this happend to you! My sound system cut out 3 times today during listening to my music for like 5-10 minute periods each and then as if that wasn't enough it started switching to the next song during the playback of one song which needless to say is annoying as hell!! you're in the middle of a nice jam and then out of no where bam another song plays WTH.. Oh and I saved the best for last when I got home in my driveway (after not being able to listen to music on the way home) as soon as I got out and locked the door with the key fob was about to walk into my house annoyed because of the problems I mentioned earlier the Sound came on full blast!! some Old Skool Hip hop station and I'm like holy shi! so I open the door and get back and there was no I drive screen or anything the volume or mute wouldn't work it just stayed full blast neighbor were looking at me all weird and now I'm embarassed and pissed so I just get out slam the door and lock it and like ten minutes later the sound turned it self off !! wth is that all about!! someone tell me thats not a common occurance.. I assume it has something to do with the heat but it's really not that hot outside for a stock audio system to be giving problems cmon <_<

Stop driving down unpaved roads...but seriously...that is abnormal and does not happen to me.

It's not common but there have been some cases of possessed radios coming on by themselves...I'm pretty sure you're due for a CIP upgrade once you inform the dealer that this happened to you...

Well I gotta say I love the 545 more then the G. The G35 was just more nimble and in a power comparison I can't remember how the G35 was to be honest.It was faster but didn't feel that way I was in the 12's but the power delivery wasn't as smooth as the 545 and everything else I love about the 545 alot more except the iDrive/sound system in my G35 was FAAAAAAAARRRRR better but thats cause it was aftermarket. heres some pics..
