Default Factory Reset?

Is there any sort of “bigger” factory reset than the one available from the menus? I’d like to fully reset my mmi now that I’ve had a few updates in recent months to see if I can address some of the outstanding issues.

to clarify, not just the usual 10-sec restart, but a full “set car up as new” since I have some time today to redo everything.

TIA.

There is a factory reset in the menu. I'll have to go to my vehicle to have a look exactly where, I think it was under the vehicle or system menu, then settings, then factory reset. I'll take a look when I have a few minutes and report back.

Thanks. That's what I ended up using. I was more curious as to whether there might be an even "bigger" reset with some sort of secret key combo

In the end the menu-based reset has actually seemed to help with a few issues, but will have to see whether this is permanent or temporary (I trust nothing).

Out of interest, what were/are your issues and probably worth putting your s/w version here to see if others had/have the issue and if an upgrade sorted it
