SERVICE:
*Software Solution was made available with V2.8 SW, which was released 23w16. Please
ensure vehicle is on V2.8+ SW.
CCD = Center Console Display
In order to avoid unintentional connections to VIDA Wi-Fi, please note the following:
1. Leave the vehicle in Transport mode as long as possible (until the vehicle is ready for delivery)
THIS IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO PREVENT UNINTENTIONAL VIDA WI-FI
CONNECTIONS AND 12V BATTERY DRAIN
If you must take the vehicle out of Transport mode (therefore placing it into Normal mode), please
note the following:
1. The vehicle will attempt to connect to VIDA Wi-Fi whenever the LOCK button on the key fob is
pressed 3 or more times repeatedly.
a. To prevent unintended activation of VIDA Wi-Fi (and therefore unintended 12V battery
drain), do NOT press the LOCK button 3 times consecutively (as is often done when retailer
personnel are trying to locate a vehicle)
2. A stethoscope icon will appear in the top-right corner of the CCD (see attached “Stethoscope.png”)
when the vehicle is attempting to connect (or has already successfully connected) to VIDA Wi-Fi
3. In order to disconnect VIDA Wi-Fi, you have 3 options:
a. Plug a VOE adapter (PN 9513108 OR PN 9513062 from Service Journal 32310) into the
OBD-II port for 5 seconds—no computer connection is necessary
i.
Reference attached picture “VOE Adapter Plugged-In.png”
b. Connect the vehicle to VIDA (manually or through VIDA Wi-Fi) and then Disconnect from
VIDA (according to Service Journal 1000046)
c. Drive the vehicle out of range of the Wi-Fi access point
Note: This is valuable information for everyone in the retailer (especially the sales team)—
please share this information!
VEHICLE REPORT:
Yes, please submit a Vehicle Report if the service solution described in this TJ has no effect. Use
concern area “Vehicle Report” and sub concern area “Support needed”, use function group 3113.
