NOT if you use your right hand ONLY! then it is ALT + CTRL + DEL ;-)


anyhow ... to reset/reboot the system when it hangs, you can push the following 3 simultaniously

MUTE/POWER-ON(Volume knob) + CD EJECT + DVD EJECT


that will reset the system - NOT sure what it would be with a NON DVD system

The other day I turned my car off, but the iDrive stayed on. I tried to start the car again and turn it off, it just stayed on.

So I went inside the store, and when I came back out.... it was off.

Started the car and it worked fine.



Today I was using the Bluetooth with my phone. After the call, I hit end on the iDrive controller. It would not hang up the call. It kept the timer going for about 4 minutes before finally ending it.

By 'reset' do you mean that all of the names in your address book, radio presets, etc. are gone as well? Or does it reboot?
