that button only resets your "customization of buttons, fm stations, address book in nav(if you have it)" ... its NOT like reformation your computer & wiping everything ... but then again .. not like you have any way to add accessories (software) to your idrive to mess it up anyway.

not sure what RESETing the idrive would do to improve your situtation ... whatever it may be. if your idrive is slow, crashes, weird things happen then i doubt that reseting would help. ... but give it a try & post up if it improved.

rudy,

from the original version to 13.3, it erased everything, however when upgrading to v.15, it did not erase anything .. i was actually expecting it to be gone, and had manually written down all my contacts in my address book. wondere if tomorrows upgrade will erase the data again. i will post up, probably not till friday though(dealer wants to keep the car for 3-4 days)

I had heard that there was a newer CIP version that allowed for the preservation of the settings but I thought it started with 15.x. I think that the techs are supposed to write down the presets and re-store them until the software is upgraded to a version that allows them to survive the upgrade. Maybe that's why you survived your upgrade from 13.x to 15.x? (Or I could be mistaken on my versions...)

Okay - I'm going crazy. There is no ERASE SETTINGS function in my iDrive menus. I've been through everyone of them.

Where (in what exact submenu) do you find the delete all settings??

I only found RESET for the Audio. And that only affected Treble and Bass settings, perhaps Balance.

???
