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...

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. |

I have a radar detector that I have to take the batteries out of periodically for a cold boot. We've been doing it for years with PCs, why not anything else with a CPU in it? It shouldn't be, but it is. -- Dan Drake |

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. -- Dan Drake |
