Should be a fairly obvious thing for you to answer for me....I'm talking about travel assist/front assist bongs btw... the hardware version can be seen on this screen:

As Matt Monro once sang, I’m “bong free” since new steering wheel was fitted a few months ago, H56 (2020 build)
I reserve the right to change my vote if the bongs do return when the temps drop or I get new software (currently on 1896)

Mine had a largely TA/FA bong free summer. I guess all of its bong energy went into a gearbox selector module fault.

Sunday morning was cold and I'm back with the usual bong chorus.

It hasn’t dropped into single figures down this way yet so I’m patiently waiting… and hoping…

Mine is going in tomorrow as not only are the bongs back but screen is rebooting too. Very inconvenient when using SatNav et.
I also have requested engine cover replacement. Not hopeful as customer service person asked why I needed to replace my engine cover 😂

I have 58, no bongs anymore... but I had SOS unit and steering wheel replaced to fix. Bongs didn't initially start until 10,000kms so I'm not holding my breath!

I had bongs and told the dealer about it so they told me it needed a new steering wheel and also done a lot of updates to the software,2 months later still no bongs only had to go back once again due to the software needing a further update to 1941 due to the radio rebooting and now it seems to all be fine. A lot of hassle but glad to finely feel like it’s fixed, well fingers crossed 🤞 😂

The big test of all of the fixes is the coming cold weather...

Software updated to 1941 yesterday and new steering wheel on order. Engine cover was due to arrive in today for fittting  but van was involved in an accident so still awaiting that to be put on. Interesting this am which was cold and damp messages flashed up but bongs not as numerous.
