I changed headlight bulb successfully as had blown
Then mileage started blinking and Blue and Me didn’t work.
Went a week with this then looked for resolution. I found this

1> Car is Off
2> Turn Key Accessory Mode but dont start the Car
3> Put the Hazard Lights on and then turn them off
4> Turn Key to Off Position
5> Take Key Out
6> Put Key Back in and ODO Mileage will stop flashing.

This didn’t work for me and thought it was a bit of a joke.
Last resort would be to remove negative from battery for 10 mins
This morning tried this and worked

1> Car is Off (No key in ignition) lights on
2> Put the Hazard Lights on (not sure if I turned them off before next step)
3> Turn Key to start
4> ODO stopped Flashing and Blue and Me works

Think I did it in this order but maybe try other.
Why do hazards reset everything?

Hope this helps and saves on taking to dealer for expensive diagnosis.

What do you mean by ‘lights on’ in point 1? Doesn’t make sense.
 
The battery disconnect normally should reset remaining errors and all of the interesting exercises might have had no additional effect. Hard to find out after the fact though....
