I think my controller just gave up. When I'm in the main menu, pushing the controller back for "entertainment" acts like pushing it down and brings up the "i" menu. This also happens in all other menus such as Navigation or Entertainment, where if I want to go down a level, it simply acts as if I pushed the controller "in" to select something. It only seems to work if I push it very hard, and after multiple tries. I tried rebooting iDrive several times to no avail. Anyone have a similar experience? Service is closed tomorrow (Sunday) so I'll have to wait until Monday to bring it in.

EDIT:
I just noticed "up" doesn't work either. It only works in the main menu to select "communication." Otherwise lets say if I've selected a track on a CD and want to move up to change to FM, it won't let me, just flashes for a split second then goes back down to the track selection.

Only other thing I can think of is a hard reboot by disconnecting the battery and leaving it out for an hour or so.

Good luck!

As an aside: why is the number 700 favoured by Bulgarians?
