? about daytime running lights and base stereo

[sinnombre]

thanks,
nothing on the dash covering the sensor. My bmw has an auto function and I basically don't have to touch the knob anymore, the head lights are off during the day and on at night. I thought that was the way my H3 was suppoosed to work. Maybe I'll take it back to the dealer and have them take a look. Just wanted to make sure that the auto funtion is supposed to work as I described above.

Your Auto switch is probably working fine. It is just your DRLs that are on. Looks like the headlights are on, but it is really just the DRL's inside your headlight assembly. Look closer. For instance, have some look at the headlights and then manually turn on the headlights and see what they do. It is supposed to be that way.

Let me know if you figure out how to turn the orange DRL's off permanently. Fortunately the override switch was provided to turn them off temporarily.

Will check, thanks for the response....now the radio, any ideas?

My 2007 does the same. The daytime running lights are always on in the auto setting. Manually turn them off "auto" to not have them on during the day. At night the auto setting will rely on the sensor, then you can use your fog lights (or in the manual mode). Mine seems to have a wierd transition around dusk but that's a different issue....As far as the radio goes, mine seems to stay set properly. I do use the custom setting though, it could be the memory wire is hooked up wrong, but I doubt it if your stereo keeps the correct time on the clock.
