    I've been getting the red triangle 5-10 seconds after the car turns on every time. The stealership tells me that because the Nav DVD is not there that it is the reason I get the light.

    Yes? No?

    I've tried everything I can find on the chat to resolve the triangle. Everything seems to be in proper working order...which the stealership also confirms.

    So, ends up it was the HID sensor on the rear axle. Replaced it and everything works fine but the navigation. I think the dvd player needs cleaned.

    Did you ever get any codes?

    How did you figure out it was the HID leveling sensor?

    Thank you for keeping us in the loop.

    No, as you found out. The DVD player will not set ODBII codes. But, if you look on the (hidden) diagnostic screen on the MFD, there possibly will be codes/messages there that may help.
    By that I take it that there is a DVD in the player. If there is no DVD, you would just get an error message to that effect on the screen when you selected the Nav button.
