Dealer Accidentally Cleared Options
The previous owner of my car had the DRLs disabled at the dealer. Immediately afterward, TPS was no longer a selectable option and the car failed to detect its own wheels. It also disabled the chrono option, so I cannot activate the stopwatch.
Actually, the only menu options I have on my car are now "Limit, Oil, Settings."
Unfortunately, the owner didn't realize this until he got home.
I have the receipt showing when he had the DRLs disabled.
I assume the VIN records should show that this car came equipped with TPS and Sport Chrono, plus whatever other options I might not even know about. So hopefully it'll be a hassle free visit to get them to reprogram these features, since they were the ones who cleared it before.
I don't care about the stop watch... I'll probably replace it with another gauge at some point anyway. But the TPS is something I would like to have. Is there something I have overlooked or anyway to restore it without a trip to the dealer?

If I remember correctly, many of these features can be reset using a Durametric. If the dealer doesn’t cooperate it might be worth the purchase.
