Mar 2018109000 miUS $375 | Initially the right rear door lock/unlock was intermittent with handle touch & remote. Didn't take for repair, thought I might replace door unit myself. Later the Sat radio just disappeared from the MMI. Considered replacing the unit myself again but, after reading a bunch about others having a similar problem & the fact that it is located high & behind the glovebox as well as one person reported a software update on the MMI fixed his sat radio. So being in for final air recall I had the MMI software updated. That fixed both issues! |
