my car has been to service for same i-drive problem 4 times already and still they could not fix the problem and i brought my car today for the 5th time and they found out that i splice to my factory speaker (rear amp connection) now they said that my i-drive problem will be not covered by warranty bcoz of modification. I know this i-drive problem happen to everybody and not only me and i know the splice that i made thru the rear amp connection does not interfere with the i-drive system. so now im compiling a list of i-drive problem . oh btw the i-drive gremlins only come out when interior of the car is hot other than that gremlin hibernate

Except for the knob not working and possibly the electronic failure, those problems are not i-drive related. The car does not have an integrated system controlled by a central i-drive computer.

The problems I have had so far are passenger restraint fault (fixed) and the driver's window sometimes does not close properly. I am afraid to take the car in for a software upgrade in case this actually causes problems that others have experienced.
