Hey guys
How do you enable 'random' mode on the new 530i (E60)? The manual only tells how to enable it on the control panel; it works when you play through the entire song only. If I try to skip a song into another random track, it doesn't work. For example, I'd have the system with random mode enabled. Say I'm listening to track 6 and don't like it, so I want to listen to a random track. I press the < or > button, and the track just goes 7, 8, 9, and so on. It automatically disables the random mode...
Is this a problem with my car, or is it that I just don't know how to function it?

Thanks!!

Random mode is for continuous play. Meaning it will choose a random track and play it, and then it will go to the next randomly-selected track. If it randomly selects track 6, for example, and you don't like track 6, the "<" and ">" buttons do not work under the random mode. Meaning that if you are in Random mode and it is playing track 6 randomly and you don't like it, and you push the "next track" button, it won't go to the next random track, it will only go to the track after the randomly selected track (track 7). Basically, you cannot use the previous and next track buttons to navigate via Random mode...it will just go to the next or previous track.
