My Idrive just locks, when I start the car it is just black, radio doesn't work but my bluetooth connects but I cant make or receive a call. What ever button I push I can't do anything. But the cars run. And next time I start, it is working ok. This will be my second time brining my car to the dealer for the idrive problem. The first time I got it fixed the dealer said they had to update the software, and now its happening again has anyone experienced this problem?

=======================

How about your buttons in your steering wheel system settings, where it id's your screen off/on? I have hit my a few times by mistake and drawing a blank idrive screen! then I can bring it back up by hitting a button on my steering wheel settings.

Hope this helps, dont know if thats what wrong with our or not, but I know it can be a pain in the A?! at times!!

Is not it a known issue with pre-LCI E60s with the latest software? Mine does it to.

Often a sign that CCC (computer) or CID (display) is failing. Not always software, especially if repeating on different software.

I had this problem too. The dealer first updated the SW, but the I-drive still went blank. At last the dealer shifted the CCC, and after that everything has been fine.
