While browsing around on the site here last night, I stumbled upon several threads pertaining to certain 'locked' features on US-spec Rovers (Lazy Locking, one-touch rear window up, etc). Figured I'd plug the ol' Nanocom in and give it a whirl. In Clarkson's words.... "How hard can it be?"
Was able to locate and change the appropriate settings in the BeCM. While trying to write the settings, a message appeared on the dash - "Market Not Set". I went back into the BeCM menu and noticed and somehow many of the settings, for some reason or another had gotten changed - almost like the vehicle had reverted to being some sort of 'base' ROW model (No sunroof, no trip computer, right-hand drive, GEMS injection, etc. etc). I went back in and manually changed the settings to reflect what my truck actually is/has. (I am not discounting the fact that I may have accidentally/inadvertently changed a setting or hit the wrong button here)
Went to start, and it would only crank over. Excellent - well at at least the lazy locking and one-touch windows work!
:lol: Once again I have fixed something till it's broke. :shock:
After freaking out for a bit, and finally sitting down to think, I realized there were no alarm/key/immobilization messages on the dash. Good sign that I didn't lock myself out of the vehicle for the moment. So I slept on it. I remembered this morning that the PO had given me a Sync-Mate when I bought the truck last year. Thinking at this point that while trying to write the settings on the BeCM, I may have somehow disturbed its sync with the ECU. It seemed as though the key fob was making the handshake with the BeCM, but the BeCM was not making the handshake with the ECU. All of the other 'features' on the truck appeared to be working properly and there were no other warning messages popping up. I plugged in the Sync-Mate and let it do its thing. Boom - it starts! 8)
Enjoy a laugh at my expense, sorry for the novel - I'm not gonna mess with the BeCM settings for awhile
