There are lots of references to versions of the i-Drive software.

Is there an equivalent to the Microsoft "Help About" function which displays the version ? (We seem to have adopted other Microsoft traits, like great features interspersed with regular software crashes)

It not the IDrive software but the cars sofware

IDrive is only 1 computer of many in the car

Only the dealers service computer can tell you what the car has on it

If you got perspective view you have at least the software version from CIP 16.0
