Driver Protection Error

DocB · 06-10-2019, 06:33 AM

I have been receiving a warning message within the Driver Protection System stating that the vehicle may not be fully protected. I assume that has something to do with the Frontal Collision, Lane Departure or similar system. Has anyone else received the same message?

I believe this shows up e.g. when you go into Sport+ mode with a DSC turned off

Is your dash also going black for a few seconds?

I had this warning every few minutes and they had to do a hard reset.

No but the warning comes on every 30 seconds and is very annoying

Is your mother-in-law in the back seat?

Sounds the same like my problem minus the black screen.

Went to the dealer that same day and they did some testes. Apparently my car had a lot of outdated software and every test basically failed with an "update first" message.
The hard reset solved the driver assistance warning but many other none essential systems are acting up now.
Total update is planned for tomorrow. Taking more than 4 hours...
Idrive is on 2019-30 software. Not getting OTA-updates either.
