is it normal that it takes about 10 seconds before the radio or cd starts playing if you turn the ignition on? to many software starting up (bluetooth, gps, ....)? same problem for the PDC screen! (sound activates directly but no visual!)

Sounds like you might have a problem. Mine starts with in a couple of seconds. I don't think it should take 10 seconds.

I believe a software upgrade is in order.

It is normal at this point, especially with NavPro. Mine takes time and is annoying. I noticed that a loaner I had with no Nav at all had instant-on radio. That seemed like a luxury!

Probably correct as Hormazd mentioned that it will be fixed in time, hopefully.

The delay at the 'opposite end' was more disconcerting to me. It still catches me off guard to have the radio play a few seconds after turning off the car.
