    OK so whenever I'm washing the car the indicators flash and the lights come on. It seems to only happen when the water hits either the door handles or wing mirrors so I'm thinking maybe it's something to do with the advanced key? Doesn't really bother me, just wondered if anyone else noticed and whether it potentially points to a problem with any of the systems.

    TIA

    I have the advanced key as well, but never experienced this while washing the car.
