As it turns out – I had an Audi appointment this morning…
Sure enough when the Audi tried to connect the left HA generated that error… she stopped at this point and didn’t go further… she tried several things including a factory reset on the HAs…
Then, she got it working, and moved on…
I asked her later what was wrong and she explained that she had never seen that before, but that one of the receivers appeared to need to be replaced – she had replaced both receivers and fixed the problem.
Another note – though I had never ‘saved’ anything back to the HAs – I had read them into a session to look at my settings etc… They did present that starting message which tells her that the date-code had changed – The “read from HAs or read from session” message… interesting.
So I wonder – is it possible to mess up a receiver by connecting to the HAs? Or was it just a coincidence, that one of the receivers ‘went bad’?
I have yet to try to reconnect to them – but I presume that receiver problem was the issue.
