Professional media cutting out

Hi all!

I have a 520d LCI with the professional media pack. It was new on 1st September 2013 and a handful of times the whole idrive system has just cut out, switched itself off and then immediately restarted itself again.

This is annoying enough when you're just following a route, but when you're in the middle of a phone call and it hangs up on the other person

I have taken it to the dealers just before Christmas, who had it for two days and apparently did a software update, but it did it again yesterday.

Has anyone else had this? Or better still found a cure?

Thanks

Edit: This may be better in "Navigation, iDrive, Audio, Video, Bluetooth, Phone, Coding" if admins wish to move it. Thanks

Take it back to the dealer. If the software update didn't fix it (a reasonable try by the dealer) then insist they swap the entire unit.

Thanks xenon, I have a service due in 5 weeks, so I'll get it booked in to be changed then.

No sir. 3 years, 55,000 miles this has not happened. I have had the sat nav freeze on two occasions and had to turn off the engine and restart
