Americas Software Update for ADAS etc. coming in 60 days for NA.

[Dokatd]

I pulled the ADAS camera fuse. ADAS gone. So is emergency braking probably, but oh well.

To get rid of the annoying idiot lights that tell me my ADAS is gone, I 3d printed a small plastic 'mask' that sits over the lights blocking them from view. Out of sight, out of mind! I do still get a warning that flashes on the main LCD screen occasionally, but it doesnt bother me as much as the stupid ADAS alerts did!

If anyone wants the 3d printed file, i'll post it on Printables.com.

I have been threatening to do this exact same thing. What is the warning, just the stupid orange bar in the bottom left telling you there is a fault? Mine is stuck on Service past due 45days or some crap like that.

 

[Grendel]

yes, bottom left warning. I have the past due service warning too....and sometimes the low TYRE pressure warning too.

Does it bong bomb you that Adas is not working? Or just a light in the tell tale?

Wait.. but you block out the odometer and trip meter?

No, he blocks the Telltale on the little screen in front of the steering wheel from what I am gathering. He's just saying you still have the warning on the big screen too. But he's not bothered by that.

 

[Grendel]

I dont get bong bombed. If it does bong for this, it is occasional and not that annoying. To remind myself, I just went out and started it up, backed out, and pulled back in, no bong.

I dont think the warning on the big screen is not as 'in your face' as the little screen.

I picked my Gren up after its first dealer service on Friday. I had complained that the ADAS never displays the correct speed limit, so for example, it shows 25mph when the actual posted speed limit is different, triggering the ADAS response (if I have not turned it off). They detected the fuel level plausibility stored code** which they said gives them (IA) permission to perform TSB 003368. The result is that ADAS now correctly reads speed limit signs as you pass them! This doesn't solve the overall ADAS issue, but it is a huge improvement to have the actual speed limit displayed, and, if you do not turn ADAS off it will not pop until you actually exceed the posted limit.

** About that fuel level plausibility code, this is the error that some have reported a check engine light after refueling. I never had a CEL or any telltale lights, but the dealer said the code was stored.

Another software update was TSB003935 Turn Signal Coding.

lol stupid Ineos. Bong bombs when fuel is at quarter tank full. No bongs when a “safety” equipment is faulty due to unexpected circumstance. Go figure

This has been a pretty long 60 days.

 

[HereinDaRockies]

I literally don’t give a sht about the Adas clicks.. need to see Ineos fix something as demonstration of life and ability. Tick tock

How about a class action law suit for putting people in harms way by unnecessarily providing negative driver distractions? This was not a "feature" advertised or informed to most buyers.

ADAS was openly stated on the MY24 brochure and pamphlets that were available prior to the ordering books opening in 2023

Did they clearly state how well it would work and the insistent alarms or did they just assume their American consumers, most who had never heard of ADAS, would investigate it like shaggy?

I agree that ADAS distracts drivers, but a court will just hear "my car beeps when I break the speed limit". Maybe if you argued that it gets the speed limit wrong and encourages unsafe driving...

If you genuinely consider the car unsafe then I guess you could file a report with NHTSA: https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2024/INEOS/GRENADIER . You could also just disable ADAS and tape over the warning lights (not ideal I know).

I might have mentioned this on here- and I am simply mentioning this because it might help someone. I know there have been some issues with the fuel & warning. Ours comes on when it's 1/4 tank - and when I tell you it's exactly accurate, let me tell you, it's actually a potential problem. The thing goes orange when it hits 1/4 tank.

A month ago, family flew in & I had to pick up. ~90-100mi away, about a 90min drive (probably could do it less with a sportscar...) I forget how close we were to home, say about half, give or take ... someone else in the truck was sure we'd be fine to get home, but I didn't want to chance it. Brand new vehicle, it was my first time driving it when the light came on, I'm relatively far from home, not chancing it. Took me about 5+ more minutes to find a suitable exit, and then the gas station we wanted to use, was like way the hell down that exit-road, 5+ mins it seemed like.

I took pictures of the fuel purchase. According to the math I knocked up, I had precisely 4.663 gallons of fuel remaining. Which is almost precisely 20% of the total fuel-tank capacity (23.7 Gallons, which is a very small amount below 90 Liters) - and for my personal situation, I would have had about ~84 MTE @ 18mpg ... which, would I have gotten home? Just about certainly. But ... who wants to chance it? AND - *especially* with a brand-new, precision-turned, turbocharged BMW engine, I don't want to be sucking up the gunk from the bottom of the tank. ANYWAY, I digress.

So -it seems to me, the machine knows to come on - turn the meter orange- at *exactly* 25% of fuel capacity, 1/4 tank, and in my case, it was not very difficult to go from 25% to 20% real quick.

Just throwing this out there in case it helps anyone, TIFWIW, as always, YMMV (both Literally & Figuratively here, lol...)
