Just curious -- what model F10s?

My 550i had the lovely orange screen tonight. (It was actually a nice gradient from reddish orange on the driver's side to yellowish orange on the passenger side.)

I shut down the car and re-started, which had no effect. I had previously set the destination in the nav system, and the HUD worked fine. (GOOD THING, as I wasn't all that familiar with the area where I was!)

I found this thread, and went down to the garage, ready to reboot it. The car had been idle for an hour. I got in, started up, and the screen lit up just like usual.

Not taking any chances -- I'm putting a note in the car that the hard reset is accomplished by hitting MUTE for 30 seconds.

Thanks, all.
