Unexpected Computer Reset
Last Monday I stopped at my accountants office and when I got back into the car and started it, all the settings had reverted to factory settings.........
Seat settings . All mirror settings, including mirror dipping on the RHS. Interior temperatures and AC including flow direction of air. Music. Even the TPMS had to be reset. There are probably a few more settings that I can't remember at the moment. Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon? Or is it because the car has the same aversion to accountants and the ATO as I do??

that is strange, could you restore it using your driver profile by any chance ?

Maybe it could be the 'Power Magic Pro' you installed might have caused it to trigger a reset eg. battery level might have dropped to a certain rate, the system assumed it was going to run flat from external devices & thus cut off and restarted when you started the car up again.
Just a theory but I haven't had this issue before. |

It took a little time, but I just went through each option and restored them manually.

The PMP is programmed to shut down the cameras at 12.0 Volts, so there should have been plenty of battery life available to power the car's onboard systems. Hopefully, this is a once only glitch. If it happens again, I'll have to investigate further.
