My list of irritations with the PCM/connect continues to grow ...
* Sporadic loss of language locale with UI elements turning up in German on the PCM and web site
* Unexplained start up in maintenance mode.
* Not remembering settings such as Traffic SIgn alert or speed limit tollerance.
* Inability to authorise a secondary user.
* Randomly going back into Privacy mode.
It's a complete roll of the dice which settings are stored against the profile, key or seat position ... or if they are being saved at all!
I would love to know the logic behind, profiles, keys and the 1-3 memory options.
If anyone can offer more than an educated guess, I would love to know!
And is there a way to stop the car pre-warming every time you open the drivers door?
Also, my car seem to turn the "ignition" on if I leave the key in the car, after I have opened and closed the drivers door ... doesn't it check occupancy of the driver's seat?
I can unlock the car, put the key in the ash tray, close the door, and next thing I know the ignition is on.
I open the door, turn it off, close the door, and it turns on again!
Fine, turn on pre-heat, and ignition when I unlock the car and open the door ... but if I turn those off, and don't lock the car, please don't turn them back on!
... at least wait till I have locked the car and then unlocked again.
Keeping the car charging while not locked, while you still need to access the unlocked vehicle frequently is near impossible ... it constantly insists on pre-heating and turning the ignition on!
