Screen went black with 650 miles on my 2023 M240. Tried every button and restarting - nothing. Nobody answering the phone when I called the dealership, so I checked the net. I saw your video and you are spot on, everything came back to life! Of course its a bizarre secret formula straight from James Bond that nobody knows but BMW. Thanks so much for making it public, you saved me a lot of time and frustration.
It worked! Thank you! The WiFi disappeared on my M8 and Bluetooth was on but nonfunctional. This reset worked to restore Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Only price to pay was a deletion of all my personal settings.
Omg...thanks so much for this! I had been told before that to reboot the system I needed to push and hold the volume button but it never worked! It wasn't until this video that I then tried it for at least 30 seconds and voila! My main issue was that for some reason periodically the wifi and Bluetooth in the car would out of nowhere just stop working indefinitely and it wouldn't be able to pair with my phone which was infuriating, and the only way I had figured out how to fix it was to totally reset the car's data and system and it would work, but that was so tedious as I needed to reapply all my car settings again and reconnect my car to my ConnectedDrive account and the whole thing..this had happened at least a half dozen times before, but now knowing this fix it saves me so much time and hassle 😁
how about on the 2020 bmw m2 competition F87, while the car and everything is on but its all pitch black on the display, there is no display. so what do you think is the problem? do we have an easy fix for this?
Hello, I see the street on my 2020 BMW X5 under the dash even though I am not running navigation. This means the BMW GPS is still running behind the scenes , how can I turn it off?
Hi, Thank you for the video, very informative. I tried this on my 2021 BMW i3 but it did not work? Is there a different method of hard reset for the i3 iDrive operating system? Thanking you in anticipation.
Thanks, I have a 2020 330 I, all of the sudden the car stoped recognizing the key, I’ve managed to go inside and place the key by the steering column etc and press the start button, park the car come back in 10 minutes and AGAIN the key does not work. Very frustrating
Did not work for my 2014 M235i. All I get is the BMW start-up screen which randomly goes black and then comes on again. Also, very strangely, if my iPhone is nearby, it will start playing music from my phone for about 15-20 seconds, then stop, and randomly start again. Any ideas?
Same for me. Got a 2019 x5 and nothing happens. The idrive system doesn't reboot after holding it for 30 sec. Engine is off. I hold the button for 30 sec. I click on it again. It starts playing the radio again then stops.
Tried this with my 2014 f32, holding the volume button in for any amount of time does nothing, also tried holding “mode” and the volume button in at the same time as suggested elsewhere and still does nothing. For some reason I left my car off and locked for about an hour came back and even turning the car on the Idrive sort of resumed from where it left off instead of loading up.
@@expiredfroyo But I try. Get in the car and start the the car without the engine. So just it’s start button without standing on the brake. Then your multimedia should turn on. There should be a „Mode“ button somewhere in the area of your display or AC. Also the turn on and turn off button just for multimedia, not the car itself. Press both at the same time until the multimedia turns off. That’s it I think.
My wireless Apple CarPlay just stopped working out of nowhere I have a 2023 530i. I followed these exact steps, it worked.
Same happened to my 2020 520i - this fixed it

Trying to fix this in my 2024 X1. Screen is just blank and won’t cooperate! Got a service appointment for it but I’m hoping it’ll resolve itself.
Will this fix collision warning, even after getting the work done to fix the sensors on the bumper?
Will it fix the issue that keyless entry is not working on one of the doors?

I read you have to turn on ignition first and then hold mode and volume (power) button until it turns off, maybe that helps.
