General Service Reset Procedure - Oil Change (currently only possible with dealer level scan tools)

[JKAlpine]

Agreed, but it seems the fine folks at Ineos decided that those of us 1000’s of miles or KM’s away from an Ineos service center need to drag our ass to Ineos to reset a service light. Because at Ineos you make money by forcing people to get the oil changed at an Ineos service center. To hell with where you are, you will service your vehicle by Ineos or suffer the non stop reminder. Because at Ineos the customer comes last. Bend over and accept your fate

Ineos likely provides the base oil for any brand you’ll use on the Grenadier, so they’ll get paid either way.

Not happy with my local Ineos dealer now. Just to reset maintenance I’m told $75.

Ineos is really digging a knife in their foot on this one. I was in the belief this vehicles was meant to go remote places and with that simple maintenance.

So it’s one or the other. Reset at no cost or provide the means to self reset. It’s just maintenance on a vehicle for crying out loud. Not remapping software on a F22 Raptor.

Maybe a real estate mogul in a G550 brings it to the dealer to spend $800 for new wiper blades. This isn’t that expensive of a vehicle and those guys don’t give a s—t about driving to Alaska and back down to Darien Gap , at least. I’m retired, got time on my hands, I know how to work on vehicles. Why make this complicated?

Between ADAS clicking, mystery bongs and gongs that sounds like a casino, we just want control over an item we purchased. One way or another we will get access to service menus. I just figured how to access hidden menu. Not that it has any means to reset that I know of. This is ridiculous.

Similar gripe on the ridiculous cost for a simple hitch add on.

Ineos doesn’t give a Sadly. And Lynn Calder isn’t exactly forthcoming with information. So much for the letter

No kidding. You’d think Ineos would consider those of us who advertise their vehicle to the world. We are the ones putting ourselves out here financially for their product too. Nobody is asking for free oil and fluid changes. This is a simple maintenance reset. Along with user controlled nanny features. LATER we will be demanding full maintenance access. If they don’t I’m sure someone will step up and capitalize on the situation. They need to consider what we are to say about their product. Not to them, to other buyers.

If anything do not keep Ineos owners in the dark.

Simple request. Make these vehicles owner serviceable. If not I’ll go back to a s—t box Jeep no problem.

Calder claims that they are now working with aftermarket diagnostic makers to allow integration with Ineos’ software…

That’s good to here, although in the mean time they could do us a solid by reimbursing the dealer for a reset reminder.

Calder made claims and not many have become reality.
Software Update? Sure if your truck is new enough, Manuals? Not yet, Oil Reset? Not yet. All the corporate BS language one can imagine. All talk no substance.

I have a number of code readers, including Autel, Innova, etc, but none of them have the ABS bleeding, service reset or TPMS programming so I was thinking of taking this opportunity to get a new scan tool that will do all of these. I have been looking at the Foxwell N650 (link below). I have never used a tool to reset the service reminder, but I am guessing that it will likely work. Foxwell supports a whole host of vehicles, basically all of them, including BMW, so I am hoping it will work. Worst case - I have a new scan tool that I know I will use for something.

Once we figure out this whole service reset - I am going to need to figure out a way to get the tech software on my own laptop. I have done that for all of my Toyota vehicles (Techstream) and I have access to everything, including key programming, etc. One step at a time with INEOS……

I have a Foxwell but it only reads the generic codes which are not Grenadier specific, it won’t recognize it as a BMW and you can’t clear codes or do any resets etc.
