Roox transport mode issue

Just picked up a 2013 Nissan Roox with a gasoline engine, and it's saying it's in 'transport mode'. The navigation is totally dead, and there's some general electrical weirdness going on. It's got super low mileage, like 39212 km. Any ideas before I start tearing into it?

I've seen this before on the Roox. Transport mode usually means it's locked down for shipping, but it should have been deactivated by the dealer. Does the engine start? If it does, it could be a car configuration issue, or something to do with the immobilizer.

Yeah, the engine starts fine. Everything seems normal besides the electrical bits and the nav system being totally unresponsive. So, the engine starting rules out immobilizer problems?

Not entirely, but it does suggest the immobilizer is at least partially functional. Transport mode affects various systems, and a dealer tool is usually required to fully deactivate it. Due to the electrical malfunctions, and the inactive nav system, I would strongly advise you visit a professional workshop. You are likely facing a minor configuration issue, but there might be other underlying issues.

Thanks! I was hoping to avoid the shop, but it sounds like they're the only ones who can sort it. I'll book it in and hopefully, it's a quick fix. Cheers for the advice!
