Driver profiles

Hello,

I have a question relating to the timing/timeout of driver profiles.

For example, yesterday, I took the car out of the garage. I jumped in and selected my profile. The mirrors adjusted, the chair went to its setting for me, the interior lights changed, etc. Moved the car out and then had to go back into the house. Couldn’t have been more than a minute but the car had defaulted back to the 1st listed profile by the time I got back.

Is there a way to delay this and stop it defaulting back so quickly?
 
I haven’t used both profiles in my M40i. However my wife has a Range Rover evoque and her car does this and defaults to profile one on the seats and mirrors etc. although it’s only the push of a button it’s painful
 
In my current Audi (should have the Z by the end of the week :D ) I can assign different profiles to different keys - is this not possible?

Agreed, should be customisable either by key or profile - certainly how my daily & wife’s XC works
 
You can assign keys, profiles, PIN numbers and all sorts but the other key is hidden in the house in case we lose the one we use all the time.

I’ll have to have a good go through it tomorrow and see. Hardly a major issue but I wish it had a longer time before it defaulted back.

Ok it’s simple. You have the first profile linked to the key. If you go into settings you can unlink it from the key and it will just stick to the profile you last selected.
Alternatively adding it to the other key and each person has their own profile attached to the key.
 
Our new 120d does the same thing. We have a key each, and set up our own profiles on it, so it selects the one you open the car with and sticks to that.
However, if we're both out and want to swap drivers, we simply put in the other person's PIN and it swaps to their profile.
So on that theory, as [ref]ori[/ref] suggests, if the key is not linked to your profile you should be able to select it using your PIN?
 
Ah that makes sense. It’s the key that’s triggering it. Thanks guys. Will change it accordingly. :thumbsup:
 
I had some drive profile issues when i just got my car, it turned out that the driver profile is linked to the key you used to open the car when creating it. Switching keys solved my problem :)
 
I think by using one key and profiles being linked is my issue. That will teach me to read the instructions properly! :D
