Issues with my E53....

Hi guys,

really hope someone can help with some really annoying issues i am having with the car.

Firstly, whenever i turn the car off the radio looses all its settings. Its the factory 16:9 sat nav unit. Something i have noticed is the radio has no power to it unless the ignition is turned on. Likewise the CD changer does not have power unless the ignition is on also?

Next - Auto lights seem to remain on even with the key removed? The lights just dont turn out???

Any help/suggestions gratefully received

Many thanks

You sure the nav is installed from the factory?

Do a check with your vin and see what the car came with originally. Could be that someone retrofitted the Nav unit to the car and took some short cuts to get it working.
