Hi,


I've noticed the periodically my SR+M3 will go through about 3-4 hours where there are micro-charging events going on:


From my T-Mobile account, it appears this the car 'phone home:'

This is different from typical charging patterns. For example, sentry mode has a series of brief, maximum charge events . . . a series of brief, square-wave shaped charging events. But these "noise" events have me curious about what is going on.

Sure it is a subset of "vampire" drain but I'm wondering if anyone has a more technical description of what is going on?

Thanks,
Bob Wilson
