You are absolutely right. I missed that. ?As for the speakers, isnt both the speakers are erroring ?
Can anyone suggest why I cannot get the setting to turn on the blind spot assist to stick?
A similar thing happened 2 years ago when it would de-select after reverse gear was engaged.
The dealer fixed it and reported “read onboard diagnosis. Found static faults stored in the control unit. Deleted fault memory and re-checked rear assist operation and found to be ok. Suspect fault to be caused by non-genuine devices attached to the onboard diagnosis and vehicle electrics.”
I had attached a heads-up display device which has not been used again since.
9 months ago I had a mechanic who uses VCDS to enable the “Easy entry front” for the electric driver seat. This moves the seat back 3-4 inches when you open the door to exit the car. Once you re-enter the car and start it, the seat goes back to the memorized location for that driver.
This caused no problems.
This time is a little different. I recently had the same mechanic go into 13-Auto Dist. Reg (or it may be called "adaptive cruise control") and Navigate to and remove tick from Bit 5 - called "Overtaking right preventtion" When using cruise control, that tweak reduces the way the car unnecessarily keeps braking well after a car in front has turned off right or left. Now I have noticed the blind spot assist is off.
If I try to set it on, there's a “ding” and a message and orange icon appears telling me “ ERROR: rear traffic alert and blind spot assist”
The mechanic is going to investigate but doesn't know why it is happening.
Thanks. I don't have the cable but have forwarded your message to the mechanic I'm seeing on Tues. I was suspecting that there was some dependency between the "Driver Assistance" options that you listed.Do you have a vcds cable handy to look at the errors ? Usually the following modules (if equipped) works together and is very picky about the changes., making any change to one of the module will trip an error -
13-Auto Dist. Reg
3C-Lane Change
44-Steering Assist
A5-Frt Sens. Drv. Assist
10-Park/Steer Assist
03-ABS Brakes
At least when i make changes, it errored for my. You need to do the troubleshooting like - make the changes needed, continue making the changes on other related modules, do a master reset of errors. switch off the switch back the ignition and proceed further. Most of the times its because of incorrect coding on the main module / related modules. Looking at the errors should give you a clue. Very common during retrofits. You need to figure out the right coding and combination to make it right.
I hope the person helping you is referring to the right/tested coding. One way to resolve is revert back to the previous state or undo the last change and see if that resolves it. If you had a previous backup of the code, you can always revert to that.
