I wonder if they are just fleecing you ??.........nearly all the previous posts on similar topics including my own seem to lead to a knackered battery IIRC ?

I have the same here btw but I dont have active steering, just waiting for the right moment to replace my battery tbh. I get high drain any time I sit for more than 5 mins with radio on waiting for wife when shopping, and clocck and other OBC data is lost around 2 -3 times per month atm........

Just got a call from the SA; they believe the Comfort Access Control Module is shot and will replace it when it arrives at the dealership tomorrow.

hmmmm, well, I wish you the best of luck and hope it solves your problems, last time I was in the main dealer for my oil service my car threw no stored errors, fingers crossed that I really do only just need a battery for mine

Maybe insist on replacing the battery and testing again........?? nearly every other post with these problems was solved with a new battery fwiw hence my suggest at the start of your post.
Gutted they got it wrong for you mate, not surprised however.
