I unplug every usb from the car before turning off. Any idea what's causing my issue?

*Also, I've been having a burned plastic smell coming from the vents when iddle. Not sure if related.

thanks!

I think mine is caused by the fan. I drive the car once or twice a month and owned it for 5 years or so. I usually drive it for a 10 minutes each time i drive it and the fan runs for a while after i turn the car off. Our M5 does the same thing. I always had this message in the winter. Every once in a while i'll throw it on the batter tenderer. I gave up on the message.
