That's pretty cool if you were listening to something on talk radio, etc and your phone rings and you missed an important point. Or one of those times when you just start spacing out and forgot what the heck you were just listening to
But we don't have that on our G's (at least not yet).

I read it to mean it records your speed, how long were your brakes on for, etc. I imagine it's a loop, so it just keeps 30 seconds memory or so. It probably is intended for fatal accidents but not necessarily for those in your car? I'm just thinking that in some cases it can be incriminating.

Music Box tips:
- Recording an album takes place pretty fast... my rough calculations is it takes place at around 8x, which is close to a good ripper on your computer. So when you are recording a CD, it will be done recording after around 6 to 8 mins.
- When recording, you don't need to listen to the CD, you can switch to Radio, etc... Some text will appear on your system that will indicate it is recording. For example, it is on the top right side of your map below traffic. It will be off when it is done.
- Yet untested, as I just read it in the manual. The music box will record data CDs with mp3/wma files on them. That way you can transfer a bunch of digital music to your system. Can't way to try this. [EDIT: this is wrong... does not work]
- Annoying thing I really with I could figure out. Right now, the only way to go through albums is to use the right ***, and select one by one each album until you get to the one you want to play. There is a search album function which has a list of albums you can scroll through and select but it does not function while you are driving. Ironically, I find it a lot more dangerous to use the *** and watch the screen through every click, then to have a list I can glance at while I am driving.

A few things to check though, since your post is already here. . . do you have your phone set to auto answer with BT?
I had an issue where I would get a weird connection whenever a call came in on call waiting and I couldn't choose ignore or answer and it would connect in an odd 3 way conversation but I would lose connection with both parties shortly thereafter.
I did a hard reset on my phone and it corrected it.
Hope that helps.

Key Fob Battery
My car is a day short of a year old. I've been wondering when to replace the key fob battery, and all of a sudden, I find the car telling me that my key battery is 1/3 low.
When I start my car, right in the middle of the information display (between the speedo and the tach) there is a little display that shows the key and a battery with an F and an E on it. It only shows for about 5 seconds, but it clearly tells me that the battery is only 2/3s charged. Time for a new battery. I checked my wife's key and it does not produce the little graphic, so I assume her key is still charged.
08 journey, 5AT non-navi. if it matters.
