C63 S Welcome Screen

Hey Guys, I have a weird question to ask.

In this video you can see a guy unlocking the car, and when he gets into it, he gets a beautiful welcome animation of the headlights on his Digital Speedometer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTks...ature=youtu.be

Whenever I unlock mine from the key, or with the key in the pocket and just pulling the door handle, as soon as the door opens, instead of the beautiful welcome screen i get a beep and an Image that says do not forget your keys in the car.

How do i get it to do that animation for me? Such a stupid thing but it drives me nuts!!!

I would appreciate any advice!

What year is the car?
Do you have analog or digital cluster (just like the video)
Have you tried your other key fob?

I bet it's the plastic cover....lol........seriously, I think your animation is skipping too fast and going right to "don't forget keys." Try sitting in the car with your FOB and just go into accessory mode; it should still animate.

According to the manual, your driver door is open when you expect the animation while the cluster wants to remind you to take the key fob (smart key) before you leave the car.
Issue solved lol

In the video he opens the door and the Digital Cluster is still black, when he sits down and closes it, it brings that animation. In my case, the second i open the door, it goes from black screen to that message right away...


What do you mean by accessory mode btw? Sorry lol

Actually same problem here. I just never notice the forget your key message when I enter the car. But yeah, I wish I can see the animation whenever I enter the car.

No animation either. Maybe the US or English version doesn’t have it?

The animation is awesome - I hope you figure it out.

The message you're getting now makes no sense at all. Why tell you to make sure you don't forget the key when you've just unlocked the car? I'd expect that message to be displayed after you've stopped the engine.

Well the animation is there and it does exist. If you sit in the car and lock yourself with the key, then unlock the car while sitting it it, and instead of opening the door click on the ignition button, you’ll see the animation. It’s the door that is the problem, the second you open it it throws that warning at you. No idea how to get this to work

Wow, I can confirm. if you let the screen shut off, and then push the start button it shows up and it looks amazing!

I have tried playing with every single setting in the car and no matter what I do it won’t get rid of that warning.

I am am starting to think this is Some US regulation that they had to implement in the firmware maybe??? Are any of you guys from europe who are having the same issue?

all my other cars have an animation on both screens including my M5 so shouldn’t be a regulatory thing. Looks more like a bug because you can open the passenger door and push the starter to get the animation.

That's right! I haven't even tested that before! If you open the passenger door there is no warning, and once you press on the Start Button the animation is there! It is only showing that stupid warning with the Drivers door open. Weird!

The animation of the headlights is also on cars with the normal analog gauges, albeit only on the smaller screen between the gauges.. It does it on my 2015 C63S, and my screen shows it. But like described above, I get the "Don't Forget Your Key" message 95% of the time instead. In the nearly 4 years I've had my car I've yet to figure out exactly what triggers which screen.
