I was told by an IBM project egineer is the reason why Acura and Lexus Multimedia networks is so much more stable is because they use a Linux OS as opposed Windows like the germans.
It seems Microsoft pratically gave Windows OS for idrive and Command(licensing fee). Boy were BMW and Mecredes duped, Linux is shareware and therefore free for the asking...the joke is on us

I don't understand nobody at the dealer told me this was possible before. It would help lots of customers with hanging I-Drives.. I think they don't even know this function is there. And I don't expect BMW putting it in the manual because that would look very stupid.. Imagine on the last page of the manual:
If you're I-Drive hangs (wich can happen occasionaly), please press the on/off button of the radio and the eject buttons of DVD and CD slot in your dashboard to reboot...?

Reboot worked for me. My BMW Assist was out on the way home, I would have liked to try this. No signal strength icon and when I went into BMW Assist it said "No Net" It was working again after a restart.
