STEP 01

Record the affected points

Park before changing settings. Note which locations/actions stopped working and check the installed software version in the vehicle’s own information area.

Sources 1

STEP 02

Recreate the affected entries

Use the existing Automate My Habits controls to delete and recreate the nonworking activation points. Menu wording depends on the installed interface; this guide does not invent one sequence for every head unit.

Sources 1

STEP 03

Verify the result

Check the recreated action in its normal context. If it still fails or the software does not match, report the version and affected function for diagnosis rather than repeating unrelated resets.
