Anybody experienced this ?
Started my car this morning and to my surprise I had driven sofar only 30 000 + instead of close 50 000 km until
I noticed it was showing miles !! Next observation was that none of the radiostations I've programmed was there anymore.
And then when parking, the PDC gave the sound signals but no picture. The same happened also after the second start and moving the car.
Nothing special this morning except I was using my spare key. Weather was dry, + 6 degrees celsius.
Have to study this more in the evening...

Ja, this happened to me once as well.
Nothing extraordinary happened, the whole thing suddenly decided to reboot itself one morning.
Weird.
You do know how to change the units etc. back to kms?

maybe your reserve key had different memorized settings compared to the your other key. I wonder what the settings would be if you used your original first key..

Take your regular key, and everything is back to normal.

That's it.. The key have a memory, and your reserve key might never have been used, and that's why it dosen't know the memory for the radio stations, if it's miles or KM's etc...

Yeah, this was thank God a pure key issue. With the regular key everything was normal again.
But what a weird feeling I had in the morning not having an idea what it is all about
