The instructions to reset the FTM are in iDrive. They are something like: 1) stop the car. 2) start the engine. 3) Go into iDrive and reset the FTM. 4) Drive.

You can only start the reset process when the car is stopped, and it will only reset once you start driving it.

Again, the instructions are really straight forward and in iDrive.

Good luck,
Randy...
