missing settings

sterns · 06-08-2008, 08:18 PM

Today I noticed that I no longer can access some of the settings on my car using the turn signal buttons.

With the car off, after inserting the fob, I can only access the display dimming, check control, and date & time settings. All other settings like units, locking settings, TPMS reset, etc. don't come up. The behaviour is the same with the car on.

Am I missing something ? I also tried my backup fob and no difference.
(and no I'm not near a Radar...)

Has anyone else had this happen ?

You're moving it the wrong way.
Move it up i think. . . It will give you the other menu.
If not, wait till it clears out then move it down.

not sure if it's your problem, but mine only allows me to access advanced menus when the car is completely stopped.

I am moving it up, moving it down just goes in the opposite direction, just like the manual describes. Obviously I've tried it both ways...it is just broken.

I am also doing it completely stopped, as if I had just entered the car.

Damn it is soo hard to describe this over a forum but i really don't think it's broken.
If you go one way it will show you the menus to set the time, date, service, oil info and all that stuff.
If that's the first menu you see when you go whatever way you went(up or down) then you have to wait till it clears out and going back to the main screen with MPH|MPG|Distance till empty.
Then go the opposite way. Because once you get into that first menu i described it will stay in that menu whether you go up or down.

The other menu has to info to set DRL, 3 click turn signals, Unlock confirmation, 4door unlock. etc
Set MPH or KM, F or C, 12 or 24 hour clock etc

Search is awesome, found someone with the same issue.

Ever find out how to get the missing menu items back? Trying to set up the door locks and confirmation signals and I'm having no luck getting the menu that manual says is there.

Paul's above recommendations didn't bring them up.

Does it make a difference whether the car is started or not?

This has happened to me also after having a aftermarket HU installed. Im going back to the shop where I got it installed and having the connects2 adapters put in as i lost steering whhel controls and rear parking sensors beep.

Im hoping at the same time this problem will be fixed.

Did others resolve their problem?
