Well I thought I was imagining things a week past Saturday when I picked the car up, as out of nowhere the car beeped 3 times, as the car infront was slowing down at the traffic lights and I was close behind it. I put it down to the front parking sensors and never thought anything of it until I noticed they were not actived, so I assumed it was maybe something to do with the phase 4 update, as the beeps were different sounding to the front sensor beeps. I was going too ask the question last week but I did not want anyone thinking I was being silly and imagining things 😋.
Anyway I had to nip out today for a message and today was the first time I drove the car since I picked it up just over a week ago. (Mrs had taken my car). Well the same thing happened this evening. Was behind a car which was slowing down at a roundabout and the 3 quick successive beep alert came on again. This time I did check and the front sensors were again not actived. Got home and lo and behold the AEB was switched on and working for the first time. (Funnily enough I have not noticed or seen NO FRONT DECTECTION AVAILABLE message either come to think about it)?
This has really stumped me as the garage told me that the AEB was still not fixed after having the car for 10 days. Told me that it was a software issue and it could be up to 6 weeks before it can be fixed? I was told the phase 4 never managed to sort it.
(Car will have to be booked in again to sort the AEB and replace the drivers side door card which they managed to gouge out by the drivers seat being removed and the underside metal frame causing the damage).
Begs the question, how has it suddenly started working all of a sudden and can I trust it in the case of an emergency, or worse still could it fail at the time that it's needed most?
Am speechless tbh and a bit worried with the so called highly trained techs working on it. Are they servicing the car correctly and checking it properly?
End of the day we are putting 100% trust into the mechanics work and putting our lives in their hands so to speak.
(A work collegues had an accident a few years back as the garage forgot to tighten the wheel nuts on her car after new tyres were put on, and the front wheel fell off at 35mph).

Thanks DiscoStu. Both occasions the brakes never kicked in as I hit the brakes beforehand, plus I was really close. I initially assumed it was just an audio warning saying that I was too close to the car infront. I never knew what was going on, otherwise I would have left the car to its own devices. but even then was far too close for comfort to let the car do the braking.
I may let the Mrs do the testing as knowing my luck will end up having a scrape

Labbix, i never realised the red triangle. However the AEB is now selectable as the dot stays on when permanently selected. Before, the dot was disappearing after 1 second. I deliberately switched it on and off several times to see if it was not a fluke. Mind you not had any beeps before ever, neither has the Mrs. Am reluctant to let them mess about with it again as far as they think it's still not working and a software issue, but i reckon the phase 4 has sorted it as the beeps only started after I picked the car up after the phase 4 update
(Funnily enough they said they replaced the cars amp and the sensor crackling has been sorted, but it's still popping away. The AEB which is NOT sorted has been).
I suppose when the windscreen is replaced next week, will know definately if the AEB works as the guy at autoglass advised me that they won't be able to recalibrate the cameras if the AEB is not working. Will post how things go next Tuesday

And as you see in the first picture there is the option ‘Naderingsalarm’ which means ‘alarm when getting to close to something else’, it’s just above the AEB setting. I think this is what gives the 3 beeps and the red triangle, so not yours (or mine) AEB which I can’t select. So uncheck this option in your car and see if you are still getting the warning beeps or not. This might give you a think regarding your now selectable AEB -
