Blood, in my case, I had the voice control, however after dealer "update" is not working any more, also I can't access my CAPPL with the NCS, can this help as well?

I'm ready to go to the dealer again, but unfortunately I activated M menu in my CAPPL, and I'm afraid they will not recognise this as a warranty

I'd be very surprised if they even notice... just take the menu option off in IDrive and they will just do a standard software update / reset on the module to clear down the issue and reset it

If they say anything plead ignorant, I doubt they can prove you have changed anything without having a backup of your files since the last time it was serviced to compare against (highly unlikely) the onus will be on them to prove this is something you have done rather then their update

If the dealer did an update on the module it's more likely its on a newer version, then the current file you have?

I didn't know it is possible, I'll try later and let you know. I have played with mview on hud, and activated so many things, like smg gearbox....., and this is probably why the CAPPL is giving me all the errors. I'll post it later on today

I added the Acoustic=aktiv coding in CAPPL and have ticked the boxes in iDrive. So the car beeps when I open and close it with the key. But the volume is fairly low, is there a setting I can change?
