A couple issues
Lately I've noticed the blind spot monitoring light in the mirrors is coming on randomly when I'm driving down the road with no cars around me. Anyone else having this issue?
When having my phone hooked via blue tooth and playing music the song will change over the speakers but the screen will still show the prior song I was listening to. Any thoughts?
I'm getting a little concerned that as this car ages all the sophisticated electronics might start failing.
Any feedback to these issues and fixes will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

The BSM/RCTA sensors are cell phone sized units hidden behind the rear bumper
ends. The manual mentions keeping the area around them clean of road debris.
Were you on the way to washing the car when the spurious signals occurred?
Rare but possible - are you carrying any heavy metal object, ie., toolbox in the trunk?
Pandora track information almost always lags behind a song change. Does the
mismatch also occur when playing embedded music such as iTunes?

The car is clean. I have unlimited car washes so my car is always sparkling. Nope nothing in the trunk. I'll make sure the bumper sensors are 100% clean.
I was playing embedded songs I downloaded. Songs I've played in the past. Not streaming Pandora or anything.

I have these issues too, but I don't really think there's anything that "wrong." My BSM seems to get confused sometimes by things such as median barriers, etc. Sometimes it will sense them and then continue to think they are there for a bit, even if they are 1 lane away. Doesn't really bother me.
I exclusively use hard copies of music stored on my iPhone. My screen displays the wrong song title relatively often. Maybe 1/10 songs? I think the issue is exacerbated by quickly switching through multiple songs, playing audio from apps, and starting/stopping the car with the music playing. I just try to ignore it.
