Thanks gmc74. I was one of those with the issues. The service people know about them, but they're going in their own direction. I can say that the car doesn't drain the battery now as fast, but once in a while I'll still have to enter in the Radio ID code.

Have any of you just sat in the car for a while listening to a cd without the engine being on? If so, how long? Acura told me that I shouldn't sit in the car for more than 15 minutes because that will drain the battery (tech/ent model). I one hand, with all the electronics in the car, I can kind of see that. On the other hand, my truck has an in-built nav system and it can go at least an hour (tested). What are your thoughts?

I have, with out any issues. Both of those TSBs relate to your car (the lock sticking and the power gate issue), I hope they have checked them.

I left my car with the radio on with the satellite going for 45 minutes one day waiting for the sat to pick up the turn on signal from XM...

BTW, Sirius took 30 seconds. When you call XM, they say it will take 15-30 minutes, Sirius says "it will take up to 5 minutes", before I hung up the phone, it was on...

I love you Sirius! :10:
