Default Service interval help, please.

I just changed the oil in my 2005 525i. How do I reset the service interval on the iDrive?

Thank you, I appreciate the help. My other e60 the iDrive doesn't work and my e39 predates iDrive, so I hadn't dealt with this before. Thank you again.

I don’t have any picture at all, I have sound but I bought the car like this. Warning sounds work like seat belts etc. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I’m in the oxford area btw. Many thanks

My iDrive finally went out a few weeks ago. I just went on eBay and bought a used one for $80 and changed it out myself. It's a simple swap. If you need help I can post a video.
