I had version 12.12.0 upgraded on the car last week. However, there are times when I come back to the car and the radio is on preset 1, however when I left the car it was on preset 10 or something else. Yes I am using the same key!

I first saw it happen yesterday. I was only gone from the car for a few minutes. It then happened again in the evening. I had left in on 100.3, preset 9, when I came out from the movie it was on preset 1.

Not a big bother, but just wondering if anyone has any clues.

Yes, I have 'radio' problems after upgrading the software to v12, my radio automatically turns on when I start my car, even though I had it turned off when I leaved and locked the car. Didn't have this behavior before the upgrade..

I don't have it turning on by itself. I just have it sometimes being on preset 1 when I left it on another preset before getting out and locking the car.

I would humbly suggest that everyone re-initialize their second master key after the upgrade. Originally, there were reports of seats not returning to the correct preset position. This was fixed by just using the second key. May be all wet here, but it sounds similar.

How do you re-intialize the key? I thought that is something the dealer has to do.

Please advise

Nope. Just use the thing. That initializes it. Set some presets if you want; put the seat somewhere, etc.

Don't forget that you have to use both keys.
If you don't use a key for a while the battery dies.
The battery of the key is getting recharged when the key is in ignition.

I made my first trip to the dealer today and had brough both keys so I could reset door locks. While waiting in cue, I reset my door locks with both keys so doors will not relock if not opened (based on recent horror stories). The service advisor wanted to know which key I used last. I didn't know for sure because I was switching two or three times. The code reader showed different odometer reading for eahc key. Since I did not drive with one of the keys, the odometer reading was not updated while just setting door locks. This bit of information was new and interesting to me.

Wow, JDN. They should put your post on college entrance exams, to see if people can tell which key was which from the read!!!! Nice!
