still, the battery could be a problem...
did she report any correlation to any event, like she makes a left turn, and the radio dies, or she floors it and the nav comes on?... or whatever else the case might be? was any electrical work done on the car recently? was any work done in the trunk? |

no correlation
She says there appears to be no correlation of events. One time the car just shut off after lights on dash flashed. Other times radio just shut off.

Alternator or battery. Click the link in my sig, and start monitoring your voltage. Once you unlock obc, it stays unlocked, and gstting into test 9 takes 10 seconds.

Forgot to ask earlier.. do you have to "register" new battery like you do on newer BMW's?

I had a similar issue with mine. The screen just went all sort of staticy and garbled. Replaced the battery and good as new!

Yup there you go. Either battery or alternator. If you are not between 13 - 14v while running with load, one of the two failed. What voltage are you getting off the jump terminals under hood with car off? Also how old is your battery.
