What did they reset ?
Had the car in the dealers for the last couple of days while they replaced a very damp headlamp. When I got it back, they appear to have reset something in software.
It's lost the couple of changes I'd coded (Stop/Start default to off, and radio turn off when opening the door). It had also lost all my shortcut button settings. GPS tracking was also disabled. It retained my Bluetooth phone pairing, changes to the audio setup & driving modes. Recent journeys in the Nav were still there as well. There's possibly other things I haven't noticed, but it seems strange it lost some stuff, but retained others. I would expect it to lose everything or nothing. Also no idea why they were dicking with software when it was only in to have the headlamp replaced, but I guess that's a question for another day Anyone got any ideas what they may have changed/updated to give these symptoms ? |

#1 rule : if you've coded anything, or had a remap, always give the dealer clear instructions (written if needs be) not to carry out any software updates (unless, of course, you need something fixing).

It's nothing I can't easily re-code. I'm more interested in why some settings remained, but others were cleared.

As for why they did it, maybe they thought they were doing you a favour, or they plugged it in to check for fault codes and it auto updated

Unfortunately, this is where the radio off with door open option is hiding. Looks like I'll have to mess around getting E-Sys running again. |
