That really is utterly bizarre! Oh well, you've just chalked up a brand new issue for people to be aware of! Good luck with it.I would get it to a service centre pronto for them to verify, be interesting to see what they diagnose. They said they can programme it, it works for about an hour then loses the setting (as no memory chip) and stops working.
Gary, was your towbar fitted in factory or after sales?I’m booked in for Thursday so will let you know. I have found and after market plug and play electrics kit that intercepts the plugs to the light clusters and picks up power from under the seat. It’s for a M3 but don’t see why it would not work And it states no programming is required so I think it’s just an tap. I should not have to do this but it might be a necessary option.
So far everything has been down to the wire with this motor.
Ouch. I'd be a bit cautious of doing mods yourself though in case it invalidates any warranty? I'm guessing they don't have any loan vehicles with towbars they could let you have as a gesture of goodwill.... Unlikely!My car arrived at the dock but never made it to me. There was an inverter issue at the dock. It got shipped to the LHR service centre for repair. I was going to get two bar fitted after I got the car but what Covid impact in China (feel for those guys) it got tight so they agreed to fit the towbar at the service centre. A week later I got car. The car will be exactly two weeks old to me when it goes back to the service centre for the second time, this time Reading.
If it's fully reversible I guess you have nothing much to lose!Just had a thought but no reward. Powered down the car from the screen waited 5 and powered back up but still nothing. Had a probe with a multimeter but nothing showing on any of the terminals.
As for the aftermarket kit, it takes power from the rear seats and has plugs to intercept the connections to the light clusters. The only wire that seems to need a Tap is for the fog light and I don’t need that at the mo
I don't believe your towbar will be factory fitted, it will be fitted at the service centre before delivery.Hmmm. I wonder if this will delay my MY order with the factory fitted towbar...
Thanks for the update, sorry for you, but good that they are being consistent with their story.My MY is in Reading for tow fitting and they've just phoned up to say the control unit in MY built after 28 March hasn't been fitted due to the chip shortage. They are going to get the part but they don't know how long it will be...
The technician I spoke to said it worked on his test box to test the lights on Friday. Issue is that with no memory, it loses the setting after an hour or so.So my booking with the service centre (Reading too) has just been bounced to 22 Aug...
"Remote technician has done over the air checks and the lefthand body controller is faulty, on back order with no ETA"
How can they have tested it when the towbar was installed? And if they knew it was an issue why not say on day leaves me very little time to find a solution before we leave.
So that might fit the fact of when the car powers down various modules I guess, just seems incredible that the modules got shipped without the memory chips installedThe technician I spoke to said it worked on his test box to test the lights on Friday. Issue is that with no memory, it loses the setting after an hour or so.
