CDs not being written to the HDD properly
Has anyone else had or got a problem with loading CDs onto the HDD? I've had quite a discs now that initially start to load OK, and replay well, but by the end of the recording, it's a garbled, skipping mess.

No never used the hdd as I stream via BT.
Have you tried transferring to a usb with a decent write speed and then uploading to the hdd? |

Thanks Beast,
Yes, I have, and it works, although that's a longer process than just sticking CDs in from my collection. Anyway, I think the CD option should work? It used to, just that it's getting problematic. Been back to the dealers a few times with it but no joy yet. Just want to know if anyone else had the same problem. |

Ahh just assumed that you would have all your music uploaded to a pc/laptop... I haven't used a CD for a while now, if I do buy one I tend to upload it and then store it.

Slight off-topic. How big is the internal HDD and is it a spinner or Solid state disk?

I think the pre lcis are disk and the lcis are ssd.
I don't ue it either and I prefer to put my music on a usb stick. Unless it different on the LCIs the bitrate is I think quite low at 128mbps mp3. So not great. Happy to be corrected on those. |

I like to transfer my music onto the HDD because that gives you the option to make a favourite tracklist.

Back to the OP, I have not had an issue with copying to the HDD. Do you let it save completely in one go when you do the transfer? That's what I have always done - when you press "save in car" let the process finish without interruption.

Hey, thanks for all the answers.
Yes, I do just let the CD 'save in car' without interruption, but as stated in the beginning, its becoming more troublesome. Yes, I have a HDD, and I wonder if I can get a SSD installed by BMW? |

It would probably be cheaper to buy an ipod touch and pay a spotty teenager to rip all your CDs to a computer with itunes and then to the ipod than to pay BMW to install an SSD ! Probably still cheaper if you throw in a new computer as well....
I have all the music I want on an ipod touch (high bit rate mp3, certainly higher than 128kb/s) in the central arm rest cubby. Works brilliantly with the idrive. Not sure if a simple USB stick would offer album art and playlists in the same way ? Haven't checked yet. |

Thanks all.
I do have an iPod touch, and a stack of thumbdrives, but currently I have a car that is supposed to be able to rip CD's to a HDD, and it's failing. I just wanted to see if anyone else had the same issue. But thanks again for the constructive workarounds. |

You can get really tiny 64G USB zip drives nowadays, not much bigger than a one pence piece.

Hi All,
Just an update on this issue. I went to the dealer 2 weeks ago and while they acknowledge the issue, they wont fund a new HDD. I sort of am OK about it, as it's a year out of warranty. Anyway, tomorrow I'm going in to have the HDD wiped and see what that does. I saved my music to a USB stick and will try to reload up the (other music from the) troublesome CDs when I get it back. |

OK, had the HDD wiped, but still no joy. Same problem. Really strange. Dealer is looking to see if BMW will cover a new head unit. I may be lucky?

Total failure of a BMW Product
I've got the same problem with my June 2010 F10 "entertainment" system. It is just a total failure of a BMW product and BMW just don't care. BMW refers you to their $tealers, they haven't got a clue, all they can do is take more of your time and money (if you let them) with the comment that there is no guarantee that it will fix your problems.
I just have to live with this stupid failure of a BMW software product. Try and try again and delete re-rip and eventually the Bavarian Piece-of-Crap Software (that's a technical-term) money maker for them finally gets it right. Until the next big track CD is ripped .... The wife's 2013 X3 works fine - Why is there no BMW Customer Service follow through to remedy my documented, to them, complaints/issues. They are just too wealthy a company to give a (Notice I have not used one swear word at all) Last edited by AussieBob; 09-29-2018 at 01:25 AM.. |
