What’s the easiest way to remove all personal data from the satnav and phone numbers, last calls etc from the car?

For Gen 2, there is a Factory Settings option under Car / Settings, which removes all personal data and resets to factory settings.

I believe there is a similar PCM Reset / Vehicle Handover option in Gen 1

Thanks. Will have a look and see if there is a menu option.

Yes, there is a similar function for Gen 1 cars, I used it last month.

Yes, “Factory re-reset” is what I used when I sold my ‘16 GTS

Thanks guys. Factory reset worked a treat and wipes everything. Feels kinda final lol.

Have you sold it? If so a very nice acquisition for someone out there

Yep sold to trade so someone will get the chance to buy soon. Totally immaculate is an understatement.
