Random electronic glitch

So the other day, I went into my garage to find the windows and sunroof of the 135 wide open. I figured that the unlock button on the key fob must have pressed against something in my pocket causing the windows to open up, no big deal. After starting the car up though, I notice that the climate control settings have changed along with some on-board computer settings such as the turn signal and door lock settings. All of my radio station presets remained the same though. I know the key fob does store personal settings, but I was using the same fob I always do, not the second one.

Has anyone else experienced this? It's definitely not a serious issue, but I thought it was a little weird.

agreed.

or something is wedged between the seat and the memory buttons, and they were depressed on the car when you closed the door.

The thing is, I have never used the second key fob and I have manual seats. Even if I did use the other fob, why would the radio station presets remain the same? Wouldn't they all be set to the default frequency?

Sounds like a random electronic gremlin. Lucky you weren't parked outside when it was raining...

This has happened to me 2 or 3 times. Everytime my car has been in the garage though.
