So I had the X35D in the shop last week for both airbag recall work to be completed. Got the car back the following morning and after about 15-20 minutes of driving, I started getting a noise out of the air vents in the center console. I took the car back immediately to the shop. Shop foreman listens to the noise and says the dash needs to come back off.
The following day I get the text saying the car is ready and pick it up. From the paperwork it says that a CAN wire was loose and it was secured. It's Friday and I am busy so I drive the car home while talking on the phone and the car sits over the weekend. Didn't drive the car until Monday as we were out of town.
Monday morning, take it for a drive and the same issue. Just talked to service adviser who says that the shop foreman thinks that the head unit might be "going bad". He has it removed and the car is not making noise. They are going to keep it over night and drive it again in the AM to see if the noise comes back.
I asked that they put external power to the head unit to see if it makes noise outside of the vehicle and they were checking to see if they can do that.
Anyone had this issue before? I am still confirming which head unit it is as there looks to be two. And they are both very expensive.
