I also notice when I open my doors after car has been sitting all day that the DVD spins up again. Wasn’t sure if this was normal either. Any advice or sanity check is appreciated!

Thanks!

iDrive enters into simple mode (you'll see some options greyed out) while the key is off. Plug in the key and press the ignition - all options will come back.

The DVD spinning up is a result of CAN waking up (from opening the door handles).
