![]() ![]() If we were all still limited to analogue switches and dials on the dashboard, there simply wouldn’t be room for all the controls necessary to configure the array of onboard systems in a modern luxury car. In a luxury car such as an expensive BMW, drivers need iDrive to access an incredibly diverse range of menus including climate control settings and telephone contacts, settings for sport, comfort or eco driving modes, emails, text messages, and seat settings, all while requesting navigation directions to the nearest restaurant via voice command and scrolling through their favourite playlist. In this guide we’ll explore what iDrive is, its latest features, how to use it, common problems and how it compares to rivals’ infotainment systems. Its development continues apace, with the upcoming iDrive 9 being rolled out on many of the brand’s cars in 2023. This is the name of its infotainment system, and like many premium brands, this has become well-known as it has evolved over many interactions, featuring in a host of popular models including the BMW 3 Series. I ended up having to buy a repalcement joystick as the "module" is itself and for whatever reason it decided to die.If you own or are thinking of buying a BMW, chances are you will have heard talk of the BMW iDrive system. ![]() I think they even charged or jump started my battery.ĮDIT UPDATE: I forgot to edit my post back then, since I found it let me conclude my iDrive issue. I also have similar issue here, after taking my car from the body shop 3 weeks get in the car and it doesn't work. Hold up, when they say they need unit replaced are they talking only about the iDrive joystick? If so, how is it 1300$, the part is just about 350$ and takes 5 minutes to install. If any update on this issue please post it here to help. So I guess this is any software issue cause my Nav, Radio, Sound elc works just fine I was like what I have tried new unit and nothing. I have tried new unit and nothing I took it to the dealer for diagnostic and the told me the unit need to be replace cost 1313.21. I have same issue with my E90 after my battery dead I jumped the car and the iDrive controller completely not working. I wonder what else I can do with INPA and ISTA before I take everthing apart…Since all was good before I took battery off, I do not expect any issues with cables etc….any help is much appreciated! Never had any issues with the controller… Fuses were checked, CIC was reseted, MOST Ring config was saved in ISTA, battery was taken off 30+ minutes….īefore I took battery off all was perfectly fine. ![]() When all was finished and I reconnected the battery, my iDrive Controller did not work anymore. I took battery off to replace speakers in the door. Im replying here because I have similar issues in an E60. Since having the tyre pressure pop up i've been unable to reset and is driving me nuts. So what i'm going to try is to get some electrical cleaner and see if that would help. Went into the garage for the alternator and battery to be replaced, but later found that they had spilt liquid down near the controller and is quite sticky on the 4 pin wire where the connector is. What was it in the garage for? Any chance they worked under the center console? You can splice into the kcan bus (use a twisted pair from a cat-5 cable, and solder connections), and run a new connection to the controller if you need to, but I would try to find where the issue is. If there is nothing wrong with those, then the issue is with the kcan wires. The controller should have a 4 wire connector, GND/12v/KCan1-Low/KCan1-High - The first thing I would check is to make sure the GND is connecting to ground, and the 12v is actually getting 12v. ![]()
