\"Accept message\" can I turn it off?
When I start my BMW I get the message that states some information etc. and you must hit accept to turn it off. Stupid question can you turn this off so it does not come up every time I get in my car?

Excuse me, but who made you king where you decide "no hacks are allowed".
You may not want to step outside what BMW has provided but if one our fellow owners wants to and he or she knows the risks, I say let them do what they please. Work arounds and hacks can be ridiculous but they can also lead to innovation. |

I bet they record the number of times you select ‘Accept’ so that customers wanting to blame their crash on iDrive will be out of luck if they try to take any legal action against the manufacturer. “Are you telling us that you pressed ‘Accept’ 12,053 times without reading the safety warning?”

You could call it "hack" but I personally see it more as a pair of spectacles correcting the short sightedness of the software designers. I await the "hack" that allows you to switch off the silly warning when you forget to press the button before engaging reverse, rather than have it stay on for 10 seconds during which time you can't see the parking sensors. One of a long list of many flaws like playing an album in alphabetical song title order (???) or leaving an arrow pointing to where you've just been after you've already reached your programmed destination

As a programmer, I have often tried to pass off flaws or bugs as "by design" often with tongue firmly in cheek. I'm not sure I'd even attempt to do so with the Very Persistent Arrow though. Would love to speak to the guy at BMW responsible and hear his explanation from the horse's mouth. I wish they'd get on these forums and justify their decisions but it won't ever happen. If it was my job and my design, I would want to defend it
