Whoa, never heard that one.
Turn key to on, hold reset for 5 seconds and you're good. Don't start the car when you're holding reset or the world blows up. :cheers:

I used the: shut door, turn on ignition, press gas pedal three times method.
It works well. I found this from a post in this forum.
How about posting in the tech tips for reference? :cool:
