@kirilltennis use your steering wheel controls to change the radio station then? Or press the regular radio button on the radio like the rest of the world? the new system is really good, not designed to be used when driving.
Dear kirilltennis, this system is for smart people "ONLY". There's a voice system available when actually driving. So if you think u will be driving and playing around with the idrive, you're mistaken.
Is there a way to update maps, there are new roads where ei live in england that aren't shown on the map? And can you display the speed limit of the current road you are on? Thanks
Gela Tskitishvili yes, but you would need to update the firmware on your CIC unit (the one under the display) and you would also need to purchase a Combox and other associated accessories depending on whether you have a TCU or a MILF2.
@kirilltennis As he showed somewhere at 6:55, you can use the voice command system (even when driving - button is on the steering) instead of just playing around with your iDrive. In fact, it's not really that difficult as some BMW drivers already remember the way to go though the system without having to look at the screen much. That is why BMW chose to not have their system in touch-screen...
Very informative video,this saves me hours of reading.about to pick up my BMW 3 series diesel m sport convertible tomorrow.a lot of gadgets,,fantastic cars.thanks for video,it will help.
can you tell me about the combox retrofit to update on-board cellular technology on my 2013 BMW335is? I think i should do it but am i going to use it - the connectdrive, sos, and other features - is my question? If i go after the visa gift card and have it simply deactivated, will i lose features i'm using or will likely use in the future after realizing i have a feature? still learning about my BMW features but don't want to miss out on the offer of retrofit or visa gift card by not know what I will use and likely not use. Any help appreciated here.
Not sure what you meant by "accessing the office feature" to be able to access my emails on my display in the car. Please elaborate. Also, someone else mentioned that I need to turn on my Bluetooth notification settings. My bluetooth is already paired with my car, however, I still can't receive emails or text messages on my car display. I currently use a Samsung Note 4. Is there anyone out there that knows how to receive emails and text messages on my car display in my new car?
Jason Skolar You need to add your Email account to the car in the office menu. You will also need connected drive service to have access. Text messages only work with the standard SMS service, whatsapp and such aren't supported yet
I just picked up my brand new 2016 340i and I don't know how to receive text messages from my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 into the iDrive system. Does anyone know how to configure this system so that I can access my text messages, email, facebook notifications, etc.? Thank you
Yes, make sure "show notifications" are turned on your Samsung when you connect via bleutooth. I am not sure if the Samsung has this feature but I know my apple Iphone does. Once you do, you then have to repair the device to enable messaging. TY
Where is the "show notifications" button? When I go to the Bluetooth settings, there is no option stating "show notifications". My Samsung Note 4 is a state of the art telephone! Not sure why it's so difficult to read text messages and emails!
Just bought an X5 today here in Minneapolis and was looking on RUclips to learn the Idrive system. Of all the videos on RUclips, I find one from Newmarket Ontario where I went to high school (Sacred Heart Class of '83). The world is getting smaller.
Yes you can Go to multimedia then go to external devices and you have two options don't click on any of these options use the controller click the options then you will setup the Bluetooth for call and music. Connect your phone to your Car via Bluetooth and enjoy your music.
I've seen about 7 or 8 of these types of videos so far, and yours is the most helpful by far! Easy to follow. Thanks for posting!
Recently bought a 535i 2011 but I don’t see Bluetooth audio or navigation?
This is very helpful, I'm buying a 2011 BMW 3 series sedan next week.
Do you still have the car?
@@raulbarsan8582 I bet he does cause BMW's are bulletproof.
kindly ask why there is no DRL option in this idrive system as it is same goes to mine 2013 F10 model which does not have DRL option in my system.

Hello Jason. I would like to know how to adjust the volume of the navigation system. Best wishes Andrew.
Very good video.. thanks! I think most of these functions still apply to the 2013 iDrive iteration with minor variation..
Dear kirilltennis, this system is for smart people "ONLY". There's a voice system available when actually driving. So if you think u will be driving and playing around with the idrive, you're mistaken.
Do you know how to have the map theme change between dark/light automatically? Thanks
I have TV in my 535i, 2011, Thais is plug in the AV2. I dont find wireless I chance the TV channel?
Is there a way to update maps, there are new roads where ei live in england that aren't shown on the map? And can you display the speed limit of the current road you are on? Thanks
Nice video. Exactly what version of iDrive are you presenting?
Very helpful. Just got my 8 year old E92.
Hello. Great video.
Is it possible to listen music from iphone 5S via bluetooth? BMW e60 2009 with the same screen in your video
Who hurt you?
Gela Tskitishvili yes, but you would need to update the firmware on your CIC unit (the one under the display) and you would also need to purchase a Combox and other associated accessories depending on whether you have a TCU or a MILF2.
hello, can you inform me if is it possible to turn on DVD Video in BMW E92 335XI produced in 2009 December?

Very nice, very nice indeed. Which model and year is this car?
Please how can I hear songs on the car speakerphone with a mobile phone
thanks for the review, I've a question, how you stop the radio?
If you lock the car, the radio turns off. If you don't lock the door, hit the START button twice; it will turn off. or, just turn off the radio.
8 years later IDrive is literally the same...
Not exactly, but still useful.
I like it 06 530xi
My I drive has none of the navigation or internet shit, it’s literally limited to the point where it doesn’t even have updates supporte
Very informative video,this saves me hours of reading.about to pick up my BMW 3 series diesel m sport convertible tomorrow.a lot of gadgets,,fantastic cars.thanks for video,it will help.

David DaHill if you care about USB-Bluetooth Audio streaming, then the Combox retrofit will be worth it alone.

The previous one was called a CCC. This new one is called a CIC. You will need to replace the old navigation computer unit with the new one.

You can read your e-mail from the office feature.
Yes, make sure "show notifications" are turned on your Samsung when you connect via bleutooth. I am not sure if the Samsung has this feature but I know my apple Iphone does. Once you do, you then have to repair the device to enable messaging. TY
Do you know how to do this? I tried playing with these features and I can't get access to my emails or text messages.

HI HAMMOND!
At 3:15 appears his name: Jason, not Jasyon.
Hey Look on the top right hand side "Lay Me Down Dirty Heads" lol
You missed the excellent feature of being able to rip CD's to the hard drive..
Raj Parmar 16GB hard drive right?
Thank you so much!
Спасибо! Интересно и познавательно. Like)
thank you
Its easier then Audi's MMI, i think.
lmao someone is saved as "SEXY" in his contacts
That was kind of a radio station
so.. IT WAS YOU !!!!
When you talk to ur car, can you rename Siri, so it responds to say Barbara?
Dirtyheads Lay Me Down is a good song
@Watts2590 hahaha! I think he said "Jason"
nice system but one flaw, seniors. its like teaching them how to use a ipod
DIRTY HEADS-LAY ME DOWN
Jayson, sorry.
@Watts2590 must be his street name
iDrive, I think, was developed by someone who's never driven a car and normally stays in his dark bedroom and plays on his XBox.
my dad has a 2010 BMW 520d he bought it in 2013 and had it for 3 years
this is slavic name: popovič
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3 v 16
@Watts2590 lol
Worthless, too fast, assumes I already know the features...
Very boring
can i install this software on my bmw e60 2006?
