I remember losing the keys to my MG Metro whilst in town and opening the door with a wooden chip fork that I ripped in half 🤣

Picture below for the benefit of those not from the North 🤣
We have those in the South, too, but down here they're Silver-plated ;)

Re: Comfort access stopped working

Mine lost pretty much all of the personal settings a couple of weeks ago. Realised today on a trip into London that the traffic alerts have also disappeared :roll:

Re: It's only money!

They also estimate that my wife's 17 month old Mini Electric is worth £14,300 less than she paid for it, new, despite it costing half the price of my Macan and having done only 40% of the mileage mine has covered. Not at all surprising, EVs are depreciating much faster than petrol cars right now. D...

Re: Over air update added LDW and deleted personal settings?

Have turned it to low now on mine, so maybe that's where it was previously and I only noticed when tge settings were lost, but I really don't recall the symbol turning green in the bottom left of the display previously, either 🤔 Doesn't it turn off completely when you press the button on the centre...

Re: Over air update added LDW and deleted personal settings?

It was on mine but I turned the volume right down (which stayed that way) so I never noticed it. LDW is only a small “chirrup” and has no physical aspect to the steering wheel. Have turned it to low now on mine, so maybe that's where it was previously and I only noticed when tge settings were lost,...

Re: Over air update added LDW and deleted personal settings?

As Skyway has said, LDW is standard, at least it is on Gen 1 &2. Maybe like a lot of us you turned it off. It then stays off. Your PCM mid life crisis may well have turned it back on. I wonder if, for some reason or another, the PCM has rebooted and this is why everything has gone back to ex-fa...
