Title: mystery with clock and MFD resetting on their own while car was sitting parked
Post by: candywhite12 on 11 December 2018, 21:24

car was parked for 3 days as I was away with family for short holiday. Today when i switched it, the clock was apparently zero'd some 4 hours before that (i.e. it was 8pm and the clock was showing 4.20am) while MFD was also zero'd (all indications like distance covered, km's left etc were at 0).  All other car settings were intact.  Goes without saying noone got into the car in between, as it was in my private parking lot and all family was with me.

Has this happened to anyone else? Is it possible the car resets some functions when sitting? Battery malfunction?

thanks

I've had the nav pro reset a view times on its own. It loses all of the radio presets and logos. Hadn't noticed anything else resetting though.

My 14 plate Mk7 had some hiccups with things getting reset. Most were cured with a couple of software updates.

The 17 plate Mk7.5 doesn't seem to have had the same gremlins so far.

did you ask for the update yourself or did the dealer offer it?
