Reboot sequence for iDrive
Hold the volume-mute button for longer than 25sec. You get the BMW splash screen and she reboots!
Just in case anyone feels they need it. |

Thanks. My sense of humour again...

Speaking of the volume button, not to thread jack, but does anyone else think it takes too many twists of the knob to turn the volume up?

Yes. I think it's because the diameter of the knob is too small and if it required less turns it would be too sensitive to make small volume changes. Needs a bigger knob

Haha yes! This bugged me from the day I got my car, felt like I had to turn the knob 293 times just to slightly adjust the volume. Thank god for the steering wheel controls.

Me too - I thought it was one of the marketing tricks from BMW and if you paid top dollar for one of the two higher spec sound systems this bug was fixed?

What it needs is smaller knob or longer "ratio" inside, sort of highway gear after the knob and before the potentiometer. |

Clearly, the volume change via the knob is way too slow, although I find the change via the steering wheel buttons just right. At least shaft encoders don't go noisy and crackly when they get old like “pots”. (and some people) |

If it were larger diameter, they could allow one full rotation from 0 to max and it would still be granular enough to allow small changes at the same time. One rotation from 0 to max on a small diameter knob would not be granular enough and that is the problem and I guess why it behaves like it does. If they changed it to one rotation and kept the size the same people would complain they couldn't turn the volume up gently. Look at any decent amp: big volume knob, 0 to max, about one rotation

I also think we’re getting a little excessively nit-picky if the number of rotations on the volume control knob is becoming a big issue. |

At least I'm happy that my laggy throttle seems to have been fixed by a software update. |
