Both times the radio wouldn't start, the car had been stopped normally and parked for at least a couple hours. The Infotainment screen did turn on and display an FM frequency, but none of the buttons worked. There is no navigation system on the US models. > Please keep us updated. I had to cancel my appointment with the dealer, but hopefully I can reschedule it for sometime next week. The locks and radio worked fine today. I locked and unlocked the doors 5 or 6 times in a row without problem. Maybe it was a fluke? Anyone else have similiar problems?
