2009 323i (cdn E90 LCI) with about 170kkm.
I have a few things going on in my car right now, not really sure where to start with it. They all started fairly close to but not exactly the same time. It seems conceivable that they are all related which is why I'm posting them all together here instead of just diving in to fix one of them at a time.
1. On startup the phone with the line through it (SOS not working warning) comes up on the dash.
2. Aux audio input (inside armrest) has quit working. USB feed beside worked for a while after that but has now also quit.
3. Sport mode switch on shifter has stopped working. The AT cannot tell if it has been put in sport mode -- but will correctly read manual shift inputs from there. If you do shift manually though you cannot get out of manual mode as it also cannot recognize moving out of the sport position, need to shift into neutral and back to get into regular drive again. No paddles on this car.
4. Radio sometimes shuts off for no reason and comes back about 5-10 seconds later
5. There is a click sound, that seems like it is coming from the sound system. Similar to a record player needle passing a scratch. There are two clicks, separated by about a quarter of a second, repeating every two seconds. Not always the same intensity. Oddly, they seem unconcerned with the volume setting and once when I pulled over for a nap, turned off the car, locked the doors, and turned the stereo off -- it continued to my amazement.
Any thoughts where to start with this one guys?
