All,

My I-Drive periodically will not shut down when the car is shut off. I have attempted to shut it down manually, and it refuses to shut down or I could let it stay on and drain the battery:thumbsdown: . Sooo... I have to disconnect the battery terminal to shut it down , which in turn kills my Active Steering and Anti- Window trap functions . Is there any other option besides continuing to take the car to the dealer for further diagnosis or continuing to disconnect the terminal when this happens?

Please Help!!!

Do you have the latest firmware in your car ? I had the similar problem with the early version of the firmware. However, I could shut it down by starting the car and then shutting it down again. Dealer upgraded the firmware to 19.2 and so far so good.

Did you try rebooting it with the "volume-eject-eject" sequence?

Had a similar problem with a uncompatible Bluetooth phone. Once I deleted the phone iDrive shut down normally.

I also had this problem a couple of times. It was due to the fact that the Bluetooth interface thought a call was still in progress . I turned off my cell phone, and the iDrive display shut down.

That makes sense...I suppose is he didn't have a phone, the reboot would shut it down too.

It happen many times with my bluetooth phone. If I walk away with my phone, it will eventually shut-down my i-drive.
