Afterthought:You may then proceed with uninstalling Windows 11 unless you really really REALLY need it. xD
Spoiler:
First: You cannot reset it, you will have to get yourself a used head unit to fix it.
Second: The anti-theft protection needs to be cleared at a garage who can enter the VIN number in the head unit. Only then will the constant beeping stop. There are tools available for this which I have not tested. I am refering to this video and he seems to be using this tool [1] [2] and software for it.
Third: The new head unit is from a 2018 model C3 and offers functions that this 2017 model does not support. For example, the new unit offers a start-stop function but the original did not. This will then not add this function magically to your car.
Warning:
While this is a super easy job to do, you will do it at your own risk. Think before applying force. Think before doing something permanently.
Parts required:
A similar or compatible head unit (navigation computer)
My old head unit shows the following data on the label:

Head unit removal:
That’s it, now do the thing in reverse with the new head unit.
Next, you need to program the VIN from your car into the radio or it will keep on beeping. It will not end until this is done.

Next to some other issues that I have with my Browning BL22 is that it very often misfires. And after a lot of thinking, trial and error, I think I have found the issue.
Remember the post about the little plate that came loose? The misfires are related to this as far as I have been able to figure out. There is a locking block that locks itself via this little plate. (I think i see wear on that block as well). Since it looks like the original plate is hand-made, I think somewhere in the process, someone did a very sloppy job.
OBSERVATION: The bolt is not sitting snug in its place when a cartridge is loaded. This cause the hammer to push through the play first and with the little energy that is remaining, the firing pin is being hit. This is causing the rimfire cartridge not being struck hard enough and thus causes a misfire.
The original plate is 20mm long, 10mm wide and 2mm thick.
I decided to print a few plates in two different lengths, 21 and 22mm. I know the prints are not exact, but this is close enough. 22 mm was way too long and the lever would not close. 21 mm was too long as well, so I decided to sand it down, little by little. If your lever does not FULLY close, do not force it shut and fire a live round! Your bolt may NOT be locked!
Eventually, with A LOT of assembling and disassembling, trial and error, I found out that the plate should be 20.15mm long. The size may vary per rifle, so keep that in mind.
I colored the piece of metal to make the scribe lines better visible, started measuring and scribing. I then used my desktop belt sander to gradually sand it so size. It is not hard to do but do wear gloves as the plate will be hot.
Look how nice the new plate fits snugly into its place. I temporarily glued it in place and went to the range to see how the rifle behaved.
The first 5 shots went without any problem. The next 5 produced 1 misfire and the next 5 were almost all misfires. What the heck happened??
Well, what happened is that I underestimated how much force is put onto the bolt and I had not harden the new plate.
Look at that dent! I did not expect that to happen, but this also points out to never underestimate the force that is put on the bolt.
So what to do now? Well, make an exact new one and harden it! The latter will have to be done later. Enjoy the photos and once I have hardened the plate and tested everything, I will post a follow-up.
My krusader windows was creeping upwards and I could not see the controls any more, nor could I move the window back into view.

I am currently experimenting with a new cookie/cake. Let’s just stick to cake, because they are not crunchy.
Ingredients:
Spice mix:
Preparation:
Making the cakes:
Ingredients for the dough
Ingredients for different glazes
* Sugar glaze: 130 g powdered sugar, 2 tbsp rum, 2 tbsp red wine.
* Chocolate glaze: bitter, white or whole milk chocolate.
* Lebkuchen spices mix yourself:
35 gr cinnamon
5 gr cloves
1 gr nutmeg
2 gr coriander
2 gr ginger
2 gr ground mace
Preparation Nurnberger Lebkuchen
Preheat the oven to 180 gr. Stir the sugar, eggs and vanilla sugar with an electric hand mixer until the mixture has doubled in size and the sugar has dissolved.
I am using a disposable piping bag, because the dough has the viscosity of batter.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180 ° C for 12 – 15 minutes until lightly browned.
Let the lekbuchen cool on a wire rack.
Preparation of the Lebkuchen topping
Glazing: Make a nice batch, deep enough to dunk the cookies in with a thin fork. Then, dunk the cookies in the glazing, whisk off the excess carefully and let it dry.
Chocolate, ditto with glazing. Please to read up how to properly melt and cure chocolate. Will publish this myself once I have perfected it.
You can also dunk the dried glazed version into the chocolate for an extra layer of yum.
Storage
You can eat them right away but if not, keep them in a box. They get better in flavour after a day or two.

1. show regions
2. Write down the regions
3. change region REGIONNAME
4. save oars/REGIONNAME.oar
I have already made an “oars” folder in the bin folder and looking for a way to automate this process as I have 16 regions. The region names are CaPs SeNsItIvE.
Again a quick not for myself and putting a copy here in case something internets goes poof; https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/tootctl/#media
