Is this classified as an official recall? As there's nothing on VOSA either. I will give dealer a call next week. Just want to know whether I need to try and backup my settings 😜 |

VOSA recalls are for critical safety issues.
This is one the the many recalls that just need doing when the car is next in the workshop. It's unlikely to actually need doing. Mine had the earlier fuel pump recall done when it was in having it's first proper service (the annual one after the break-in service) Yes, backup your settings to a USB stick and then remove it from the car. When they do the "fix", it's a complete reprogram and all settings are wiped. Even though I did that, I still lost my M buttons and some "global" settngs like gesture control being off, but everything else came back from the backup - which was good as the seat and mirrors were nowhere near where I wanted them.

Then hoping I can copy back from the display key to normal key. I will back up to usb too. This car has A LOT of settings that I really don't want to have to re-enter. Took me me months to get it just how I want |

I would add that even (for earlier cars) if you back up to USB.....your option for car tracking in the MY Vehicle settings will be set to default of Off by the update.

I used the display key once and decided it was too bulky and offered nothing over the normal key and the app on my phone which I always have with me anyway.
Does it actually store a copy of the profile, or does it just assign the profile to the key as with "normal" keys? It's a good idea to back it up to a USB stick as well just in case.

Had my 2021 LCI done in December NO settings changed, backing up a copy of the Profile is a good idea as pre-LCI could loose some settings. The LCI will not accept a USB profile download for some reason!!.

Jan 19 build Comp. Had my recall for the fuel tank vent done on Tues. All my settings were wiped out. I loaded them back in before I drove out if dealership. Only took a minute. At least then didn't have to fiddle with the seat all the way home! All my shortcuts, M1/2 buttons all imported.
Only things I've noticed so far is the interior lights were different colour and the idrive built in GPS location was off. Not sure about any changes to exhaust sound as was absolutely hissing down on way home. |
