Help, Coding Failure

Before I begin, there is nothing you can say that I haven't already said to myself regarding how stupid I was clicking on random buttons in E-SYS. With that said, PLEASE HELP. I clicked on reset SVT defaults on E-SYS. Now, my comfort access doesn't wor, idrive screen won't turn on, gears shift at strange RPMs, and remote is not recognized unless I put the fob next to the steering column. Is there any easy fix to restore my car to factory settings before I go to the dealership in shame?

Took it to the dealership, long story short, I fried my CIC unit. Of course its not covered under warranty. This may be an expensive lesson.

Not there yet, but if I screwed up coding, I think it would be best to play dumb with the dealership and never acknowledge you attempted anything. Just blame the damn computer

I played dumb and Hallelujah it worked!! They covered it under their "good will" policy. Now that I'm reset, I still am unable to code my dvd in motion and folding mirrors as the CAFDL files are missing when I try to load. Sigh, maybe this is a sign that I should stop tinkering.
