Strange Problem - iDrive Controller "RADIO" button goes to EXTERNAL DEVICES menu

winkyyee · 12-10-2015, 08:26 PM

Hello, I need some help and guidance. I hit a strange problem after coding. On my iDrive Touch Controller "RADIO" button when I press it twice it goes the "EXTERNAL DEVICES" menu, NOT the "RADIO" menu where AM/FM/Satellite/Presets/Tone are listed. I can't figure which Coding function I accidentally coded. Has anyone experienced this and fixed it? Thanks.

Just rest the HU back to the factory setting and redo the coding.

Thanks for the tip. Does anyone have the procedure how to reset the HU back to the factory setting. It is an NBT iDrive.

Connect => Read FA (VO) => Activate FA (VO) => Read SVT (VCM) => Left-Click on desired ECU => Click on "Detect CAF for SWE" => Select the CAFD from latest I-Level shown => Select OK => Right-Click on ECU (the ECU itself not the underlying CAFD) => Select CODE.

Thank HFW003. That worked. I was able to fix my original problem.

However, I got Check Control warnings for a) Drivetrain Malfunction and Fuel System, both state Drive Moderately. Can you reset this to remove them? Or do I need to bring this into BMW Service?

You're welcome!

You can clear error codes with Tool32 but unfortunately I do not have that wiht me.

Send Shawnsheridan a pm and he will send it you.

Be safe.
