* When the "Check VSC" icon is displayed in the multifunction display along with the "Trac-off" icon indicator, you'll know that you have successfully complete the procedure! Your car is transformed!

*** One the car is started you have 30 seconds to complete the process. With practice, the procedure can be completed in app. 15 seconds, unfortunately, must be repeated each time the car is switched off (all systems are returned back to normal).
I spent about an hour this morning trying to get this thing to work. on my 450h. I've tried it at least 50 times and still nothing. What am I doing wrong? I'm doing the entire sequence in way under 30 seconds. Any advice will greatly be appreciated.

Default nav and phone override

Hi there!

Does anyone have any idea why I can not enter the hidden menu where the override feature can be enabled? I've tried it in motion, stopped, engine shut, ignition on but nothing. I press the menu-volume-upleft-down left, upleft-down left corners and nothing happens.
I have a GS 300 manufactured in 8/2005.

Any advice would be appreciated.

thx

I don't believe there is a permanent fix rather than actually installing the sensors onto the aftermarket wheels. You can either create a pilot hole and install a secondary valve-stem to fasten it or use the old-fashioned strap (I personally don't care for the strapping method).

As the process is not that complicated and I have tried it several times I think I did it right. I will try it slower (athough I was in no hurry before)...

Default The seat belt mod won't cooperate.

I tried the initial instructions over 5 times then read through the entire thread and saw the amendment. Still nothing,here is what IM doing, is this right.

1. get in car
2. hit start butoon twice w/out brake
3. select trip B with (odo trip) button
4.push and hold (odo trip) for more than ten seconds
5. put on seat belt

Anyone that got this to work please let me know whatIm doing wrong.

That's VERY BIZARRE because I VERY EASILY override every single time i get into the car with ease. Shoot, my 8 year old even memorized the process and does it for me once in awhile.

Ok, just tried it again and nothing, I must be very slow. What about this, when I select the Odometer, you have to push it once more to hold ten seconds then the display changes to Trip A.

Or should I select ODO and hold? Im going to try that and see if that works.
