  1. I have looked at every page of the voluminous manual(s) that came with my recently purchased 2004 LS 430 to determine if the moonroof opens (pops up) if the interior gets too hot. A couple of times this past week, my wife exited her office, headed for lunch, to find the moonroof open (fully tilted, not slid back) on her car. She closed it and it was found opened (fully tilted/popped up) again on a another day. It seems the moonroof opens if the interior gets to a certain threshold temperature, as it has not happened ever in the garage, or on any day before this past week (several days in the high 90's and no shade available for her to park this past week).m I should mention the shade was closed, which would seem to defeat any posible ventilation. I am aware of the windows/moonroof opening function upon holding the unlock button on the fob (windows down, moonroof slides back), but this is not what is happening to her car as the windows are up, and the moonroof is tilted open. If this is an automatic function to help moderate the interior temperature, then will the moonroof close if a rain should occur (think pop-up sudden thunder shower)? I recall the bimmer was equipped with a closing mechanism in case of rain... Thanks...
  2. Greetings, Forgive the cross-posting... I did not know which forum was best to post this inquiry... Having searched and read options for replacement of the Mark Levinson CD changer, I am interested in further opinion of this group. 2002 SC, second cd changer has now failed (first one was replaced under warranty)... Removed the unit myself to extract discs and can't help wonder... 1. Will a unit from a later sc work/integrate with the steering wheel controls on my '02?, in other words, is a unit from a 2005 a drop-in, plug and play? 2. Ipod Options... I have read and studied the VIAStech SLu, and realize the SLI would be the best bet; however, it is not listed as compatible with the '02 (I suspect it has to do with the steering wheel controls, and the fact that the SLI emulates an additional device, which was probably not provided for in the earlier units). The SLi Viastech lists compatibility with the 2005 and up. I have used tape adapters, and FM modulators, but woud like a more stock/integrated approach, rather than have to fool with the ipod controls/ipod itself. Given that the changers are so unreliable, I am loathe to replace, especially as this time it is my dime... Thanks. Anyone care to wade in with suggestions?
