Default Heads Up - Control Head Reset! ...

I've had a few 'battery flats' over the years but the one I had two days ago reset my Control Head to some sort of factory default!

When I got the car started, the MMI and DIS text were in German and a lot of the options on the MMI Setup screen were missing.

I susbsequently discovered that the CH's 'Coding' was reset to 0000000 [a non-valid option] and some or all of my Adaptation channels had been reset.

Sadly, I'd never taken note of the channels [there's a VCDS option to do this], so I'm struggling to get all the menus reset to reflect what I've got in my car. [I obviously know the coding from AutoScan output that I've kept, although it only really selects the language - UK is '2'. I didn't realise that the ECU's adapation values could ever get reset, so I never bothered to save the values for my car].

Thus; if you've got VCDS, you might like to dump your CH adaptation data to a .CSV file while you can.

Sorry 'Indoblaze', but it's not clear what you're asking

Would be helpful to viewers if you explained what trouble you're having, with some examples.

You mention Component Protection, but what CP problem[s] have you got? [There are two types - codes 2084 & 2095. one's temporary and one's permannent]
