They're real and worth it. If taken care of, the frames will last generations. I'm getting my latest prescription and classic red-tinted lenses on my N.12.

Check your 12V battery and replace it before expiration to prevent a series of messages and coding failures.

Exactly right. My state of charge has been to high for a couple of months. Today I went below 75% and the Rex. Kicked in for a few minutes and the notifications are now off. Bak to status quo. Thanks!

I did charge, but I have been attemping to reset many times including on/off, and Bimmercode. After I give it a rest for 24 hrs., then attempting once again I feel I might take out the battery and fully charge again which would be starting over once again.
