Electronic gremlins at work. I keep a log so when I go in for service I report everything for future reference, even if the "no fault found" is recorded.

Turned on Sirius this morning and it told me it was on "The Pulse" but CNN was playing. I went up a channel, it played the right channel, then went back and it kept saying The Pulse and playing CNN. It went away after a few more tries.

That was strange.

Hey there 530E60NL- you are not alone with this strange occurance. It happens to me all the time . I call it Musical Windows. I go to push one window up or down and all four windows do a dance so to speak- and my moonroof as well. It is quite bizarre. I get some odd looks at intersections (or even better on the FDR Drive here in NY) when this little glitch decides to take the stage. Any others with this problem? I have it on my list to bring to my dealer when I bring her in for a recall, and when my phone FINALLY comes in. I actually get a kick out of it, and as long as some of our Gremlins aren't dangerous- I find them all amusing. It truly gives the cars a true 'personality'.
