C30 Sunroof Initialization Error

Hey, I'm having a weird issue with my 2010 Volvo C30, gasoline engine. The sunroof is throwing a 'not initialized' error. The sunblind gets stuck, and now the convertible top won't open or close at all! The sunblind also refuses to retract or extend. I suspect it might be related to some coding that was done on the car recently. Anyone else run into something like this?

Whoa, that sounds frustrating! I had a similar problem with my old BMW 3 Series. The sunroof went haywire after I messed with the ECU. It was like the car's brain forgot how the sunroof worked! Did you try any reset procedures?

Interesting! I haven't tried any reset procedures. Is there a specific one you'd recommend? Or is it something that needs a special tool?

Nah, no specific procedure helped me. I tried a bunch of internet fixes, but nothing worked. In the end, I had to bite the bullet and take it to a workshop. They reinitialized something with their computer. Think of it like rebooting your computer when it freezes.

Thanks! Sounds like a trip to the shop is inevitable. Took it in, and you were right! They reinitialized the sunroof system for 75€. Problem solved!
