Media unit switches between modes at will

Hi Trix

The problem occured more than 20 times over the weekend. I took the car into the dealer on Monday and they still can't trace the source of the problem. However, they have got VW UK to agree to swap out the steering rack as this may be the root of the problem; we;ll see.
