That’s proper torture. Presuming that’s a software glitch is it?

Mixture of software and hardware I’m assuming.
Steering wheel controllers seem to get the blame as well as the naff software.

You can turn them off Andy! Just switch off the Car2X thingy.

It's accessed by pressing [Home/Users/Privacy Settings and Services/V2X and traffic hazard alert] in the infotainment screen.

Ahh! Thanks Michele, I had no idea you could do that. I obviously don’t fiddle with things anywhere near enough  :grin:
Does it have to be done every ignition cycle or is it a one off thing?
I’m just setting up ready for its weekly bath so I’ll get right on that :afro:
