Random weird beeping?
 
I've been getting random beeping comming from the radio speakers lately.

They seem to happen randomly and always beeps 3 times in the same pattern.
it sounds like.. beep-beep-boooop

I have no warnings on and I'm dying to know why it started beeping lately.

Anyone know what this is ?

Thanks

Do you have an Ipod/MP3 transmitter dock thing that plugs into your cigar lighter? They send a coded beep every once in awhile that you may here above the music. I learned this when mine was doing it and I thought I was going insane.

Could it happen to be coincidentally occurring at the top of the hour? if you have the memo feature on it beeps on the top of every hour

Definitely th memo beep at the top of every hour. It can be switched off thru the iDrive.:thumbup:

memo beep is off. hehe That's the first thing I checked. the sound comes from the speaker that is strongest when you are in a call with bluetooth. It's really weird.

i've got 2 bberry's in the car with me all the time and have never experienced any interference or beeping that could be related to them.

GSM (T-Mobile / AT&T Wireless) phones in general will cause interference in systems that aren't shielded well from them, as will iDEN/TDMA (Sprint). CDMA phones (Verizon / Sprint) don't have the issue as prevalently, nor do 3G AT&T Wirelesss / 3G T-Mobile phones.

Back to the topic, the phones would causing buzzing, rather than beeping...and it would be random--unless on a same path every day, and the tower was chatty with the phone. (During low signal and/or tower hand-offs.)

Any way you can record the sound so we can hear it?
