For the past couple of weeks my Z3 has been switching bands on its own. The only way to keep it from switching is to drop down the screen like if I am about to insert a dvd. I checked all the wires and cannot find a short. Some advice will be appreciated.

Have you recently cleaned the screen with a solvent like windex? Also, how hot is it where you live?

I am in Fort Worth Texas, 99 degrees plus past two weeks.

It may be possible that the plastic overlay on the screen softened and got bent and is now giving the touchscreen a false positive.

 

I'm no expert but that's my informed guess.

i believe this is the problems. It seems to happen the most when the temperature in the car changes. I have to put the screen down like I am about to play a dvd for the cycling to stop.

You are the first that I have heard of this problem.

Same here.

 

I live in San Diego where it normally gets up to about 90-100 degrees during the summer and I don't have this problem on my unit. I'm actually honestly surprised you're not having hard drive problems too if the heat is bad enough to affect the screen.

I am too and that is the thing. I have had absolutely no problems with the map what so ever. I don't know what else it can be. Also beside the AV source switching it also mutes itself but that happens on rare occasions. I am to the point on sending it in to get it professionally looked at and fixed.
