Dealer 54 Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) Yes I've recently sent one off for repair that randomly started switching on and off etc. I used a guy who advertises on ebay. Not a cheap fix mind. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F183286608144 Edited June 27, 2018 by Dealer Spelling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James Bush 95 Posted June 28, 2018 I drive a 6 series and its i-drive (same system i think?) goes really lazy every now and again and eventually stops working. Remove all CD's, DVD discs etc from and then remove battery, then do as suggested above, test and fully charge. Refit battery and off you go. I've been told not to leave the DVD sat nav disc in the unit unless I'm using the sat nav and also make sure they keys are a long way away from the vehicle when not in use.....apparently they have a get ready mode or something when they can still detect the keys and they never shut down 100%............sounded a load of hear say advice but a few months on and mines behaving perfectly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
