Damn! Do you ever sleep???? ? it's like what, around 23 in Germany?

So, you always leave your climate control "ON"? What about winters when you need every available amp to start the engine?

Ahem, yes sometimes I sleep a couple hours.
But, hey... 11pm... waaaay too early!!! I'll be up until 4 or 5am, go to bed and I'll be up at 9 or maybe because it's a Saturday at 10am.

When it's on and the car is off it doesn't drain the battery. I even use my external heater all the time, since we have winter right now.

I have a 2005 545i which I got in the beginning of November.

Do I need a software update already?

How do I know what software version I have in my iDrive?

I don't know if a s/w update fixes your problem. I don't think it does.

Only your dealer can tell you which s/w version your idrive has.

The other related bug is when you manually mute the radio to make a phone call. When the call is finished, the radio comes back on even though you manually muted it (instead of the phone automatically muting it.)

I started turning the radio down instead of off. It will remember your volume setting. I always leave the AC on too. All 3 green lights in a row.

You need to get a software update - it solves this problem. Mine did the same, now mutes AND pauses the CD.

Thanks for the responce. Does the new version also allow the radio to be turned off and not come on when you restart the car?
