hmmm, very odd. I tried holding down the power (volume) button for upwards of 45-60 seconds while driving and idrive wouldn't reboot. As soon as I put the car into Park, it worked with a 30-35 second press. The car wasn't turned off between the failed rebooting while in motion and the successful reboot in park.

Hopefully I'm never going to try it out again.

Thanks!
Awesome [/SARCASM]. Sounds like a "fix" in more recent iDrive software. What's your version?

If we track this down to version, how utterly pathetic will it be that instead of fixing crashes and other bugs, BMW chooses to make it more difficult for their paying-through-the-nose customers to deal with their bugs.
