Ambient Lighting keeps going back to default?

My settings for ambient and passenger side mirror doesn't follow the profile, and continuously reverting to default settings.
I have tried sync/unsync, change profile guest/personal/... many times, used different keys/cards.
I noticed that happened right after resetting idrive, cause BMW connected wasn't working, now it works but those 2 things are bugging me! not sure if anyone saw the same?
thanks

I'm sorry to hear about your issue.

My ambient lighting is staying put, however my traffic warning keeps resetting to display in my instrument cluster, instead in my HUD :

I wonder if our issues & the solution are related...

It's the poorman's way to DIY code (AKA change) features that are missing or enabled/disabled. Ordinarily

It's a mobile device app that uses supported wireless OBD2 adapters to read and code stuff.

I loaned the adapter to a friend. Can you test restoring the original file to see if you can get things back in the HUD.

Under installed apps, I noticed that the Traffic Camera app is gone (it was free for a 90 day trial) and it took the HUD warning with it.

I haven't coded mine and it did it a couple times in the beginning. I narrowed it down to the car defaulting to the guest profile when I use anything other than the primary key that my profile is under.

First noticed it when I was setting up the key card and the phone key.

I just make sure to unlock with my key instead of the phone, or the key card now.

I guess I could also change the settings under the key card and phone too, or somehow add those to my profile. Time for me to RTFM. haven't read it all yet haha

@ed4 have you tried to restore original setup files from BimmerCode?

Sorry, forgot to update.

My backup files were missing when I tried last week. I'm dropping of the car with the dealer tomorrow for other fixes, and I'll ask to perform a reset.

I'll share the outcome after I get it back.

I got my car back from the dealer and they didn't perform an iDrive reset as I asked.

The strange thing is that the Route Warnings are now sticking to my HUD. It's worth noting that my Bimmercoded setting are still there, most notably the lack of the iDrive startup warnings.

You won't believe this, the same exact thing happened to me. I took my car for break in service and told them about route warnings no sticking in the HUD. BimmerCodes are still active (no splash screen warning, auto high beam always on, hazard lights on hard breaking) and route warning in HUD. The tech said he "fixed it".

Glad it's working now, albeit strange. Maybe the dealer really did something? :

My issue has gone on for weeks until having the car at the dealer service center? Perhaps give that a stab...

A/C not randomly turning off in my car, sorry.

Very odd, today (a week after the break in service) route warning is defaulting to instrument panel again

After the restore, did it fix the issue?

As of this morning, my Traffic Warnings are no longer sticking to my HUD - WTF! :

Yes, restoring the original file from bimmercode for the head unit resolved the issue for me. Mind you it's only been 24 hours since I restored the file.

I remember you saying you don't have your original file. Maybe I can export mine and share it with you. Please let me know.
