Hi.
It was there one minute and now it's gone. I'm talking about the bong you get if you leave your light's on and exit the car. I cant understand it the only thing i have done recently is change the head unit. It cant be that can it?. Hope someone can help me get it back..

Thought you were on drugs for a minute there

Did you switch off in the sequence that allows the headlights to stay on for about 30 seconds?, can't remember what the mode is called.

Cheers
Tony

Hi.
Yeah sometimes the light's stay on for a bit and sometimes not. Dident realise there was a sequence to it though.

its called "follow me home lighting" if you turn the ignition off first then the lights they stay on - lights off first they go off

Hi.
Right will go and give that a try..

Ros3 · 14th February 2011, 19:39

Hi.
Right got that now. But still no bong. What's the score..

Bong is to do with lights left on not "follow me home" lights.

Start with a battery reset......procedure below if you have sat nav...and check you have a radio code if required.

Hi.
A battery reset ok. I dont have sat nav though so what should i do..

Check you have the radio code ( IT may not require one as they weren't always activated)

Disconnect the battery earth lead for 20 mins.....and reconnect.
