W213 HUD contents memory problem
Hi all,
I have a strange problem which somebody might help me to solve.
So my HUD keeps forgetting what it was set to during the previous drive. But it keeps forgetting only the contents. My specific settings for the HUD position and brightness remain correct, only the contents get reset nearly every time I start the car.
At first I thought it's a battery issue so I have replaced it with a brand new one - the issue still occurs.
Then I thought it's derivers profile or seat memory related. I tried switching the profiles, using different seat memory - no luck as well. In fact none of those memory settings impact the HUD.
Anyone has any other suggestions?

so the HUD is just a display. It does not do anything except display what it is sent to it.
The settings, what to display come from the Instrument cluster module (not to be confused with the instrument cluster itself).
I have heard it called
IC177
IC213
more than likely it is different models for the new version.

Tried all deletions and other “soft” solutions. No luck. Still have not solved it. Most probable cause is some problems related with volatile/non-volatile memmory. The issue might have started when I did mu ad-blue deletion even though it was done at a professional programmer. Still looking for the solution.

are you on your profile or the guest profile in the infotainment screen? Does it change when you use the other FOB?

Some time ago it did return to default only when the car was not used overnight. Now it happens even after short stops of say 1 hour.
I already replaced my battery - no changes (proper quality battery). There’s no difference which fob I’m using, which profile or even whether I reset the profiles as a whole.
I’m out of “simple” ideas and left with a visit to a programmer probably unless someone here has some other thoughts I could try.
