Hi Kiran

Mine has the same problem, restraint faulty message pops up everytime I start the car. Took it in twice, first time they tried to "reprogram" the "system" (whatever that means). When that didn't work, they changed a door "computer module" on the passenger side (whatever that is). And that failed again on the next day, restraint message came back on as before.

Now I kinda gave up and learned to ignore the fact that I have to press the IDrive menu button everyday I start the car to make the message go away.

If your tech found the cure, can u pls kindly share the solution with me?

Million thx

Bunbun.

I suggest you install a firewall or an anti-virus or something before pluging your car back in to the matrix!
