Sometimes, you have to reboot E39, too |
|
|
This morning I started the car (having cursed myself for not holding
the key in "start" position long enough for the car to start without a
hiccup), drove away, switched on the CD and was really, really
surprised - it sounded like those matchbox radios made in 50s. And the
headlights were on, though it was a daytime.
Well, there's no better cure for any problem than a good reboot. Had to
shut the engine off, take out the key, reinsert it and start the car
again for the problem to go away.
Hmm... I thought E6x were the only ones you were supposed to reboot...

Serves you right for buying the "Microsoft Enhanced" versions of cars and
detectors!

If you say so. But I don't think that Win CE found its way into my
OBII or radar detector yet, though. It will come, but it's not there
yet.

My E34 has to be rebooted occasionally. With that one it's the cruise
control that stops working. Reboot the car and it works. Go figger.
