No heat at idle
I noticed today that my car was taking a while to heat up but upon further investigation I noticed that the problem was no heat at idle. While I am driving there is heat but if I stop at a light or I am parked with the engine on there is no heat. I even left it running for about 45 minutes and still no heat. There are no related idrive errors.
Any ideas?

check the coolant level, possible thermostat stuck open, how does the temp look on the dial as far as hash marks

What dial? There is no temp gauge on E60. I will check the temp via the secret menu. Heard about thermostat being stuck open, is this something I could just "pop" back or a a major DIY?

Nevermind, I remembered that I ran a blank .man for the KGM and KBM about two days ago. So I went back and ran a blank .man for the IHKA and that solved the problem.

can you elaborate on your fix, and as for the dial I was speaking of the hash marks around the rpm gauge they start off with a lot of marks then goes down to about two marks on mine when it is in the normal operation termp

I was having trouble resetting my brake light, I was getting a error for DSC. I wrote a blank .man to the KGM and KBM. I think one of those modules caused the IHKA to not interact properly. I started getting the no heat at idle after I messed with the body modules. I ran the blank .man to the IHKA and that fixed my problem.
