Help me too!

I was playing around with the starting code on the nav screen and managed to lose track of things and set off the alarm. I disconnected the negative for 5 mins, reattached it and watched for the 10 min count down. It counted down for a couple of minutes, but the screen went blank. I waited over 10 min on a timer, but no good.

The owner's manual says the procedure works before the alarm goes off. Since it did, I guess I have to go to step 2 to really reset everything.

I called the dealer and they said it would have to be towed in and reset on their computer.

Maybe there is a way to do this at home?

Certainly appreciate any help. Thanks, Carl

Ok, I'll reply to myself because I figured it out.

Just before I called that 800 tow number, I remembered how sensitive the voltage requirements are for these Xs. So, I jumped it and everything was fine and remains so.

Just playing around with this stuff probably caused the loss of a volt or two and that just messed everything up. The 10-second countdown was probably happening, but likely was incomplete in some way. The full 12 volts allowed the reset. That's what I think.

The only problem I see is that the gas gauge shows empty right after one of those spendy refills. I think I saw the cure for that somewhere on this site. Unless someone stole all my gas

The moral is, do make sure the battery is charged fully if you have odd control problems.
