Putting bad weather/dirt aside, it could be your KAFAS camera is bad. According to this thread there is a bulletin for dealers to first try reprogramming it and if that doesn't work to order a new one and replace it.

Issues

1. Do not have access the option to save current position in Nav app in Favorites (Manual says should press Nav button, followed by pressing controller and a menu should pop up giving option to save to favorites...). Menu does pop up...Sometimes it gives the option to save to favorites, sometimes not

2. When it DOES give you this option, it saves the position of the cursor on the map which is ALWAYS in a different position (usually a few hundred feet) from the position of the car....Annoying when in a different country and need to save new positions discovered

3. Navigation map will sometimes go bezurk and show you totally off the road you are in and asking you to go back to road and then suddenly will go back to showing you where you are

4. Navigation arrows display sometimes disappears from the Heads Up Display and when this happens, the infotainment data also disappears form the Heads Up Display...All other speed and drive assist data still show up

4. Sometimes the widgets on the instruments cluster display do not change when you press the button on the turn indicator lever. They stay on the drive mode

These are not always happening but inconsistently...This is why I say I cannot accept that this is just a "teething issue"....Any help please on the specifics
Exact same issues regarding the BC not changing the digital cluster and no nav details in the cluster or in HUD occurred the first time this evening in my drive back from work.

Hmmmm....

Everyone experiences it once and awhile. Reboot iDrive and you should be good. I have had mine for a little over three months and have had the BC button 4 times.

Hmmmm....
.35 has fixed the no NAV in the hud issue I would have on occasion. It has not fixed the BC button issue, which still annoys me, but whatever. I really wish they would provide release notes bc it doesn't feel like much has been resolved since I was on 11/2018.23.

.37 fixed the lighting and improved the iPhone connection reliability. I understand there is .45 out and I asked the dealer to provide me with a list of what it fixes. Standby....

It started working since I got updated to .37. There's nothing interesting just Connected Drive service subscriptions that you already get free first couple years

So, 9 months on and I've suddenly started getting this issue in my G29.

Curious to know if yours is still playing up?

What iDrive software version are you on?

To fix, reboot iDrive by press and hold the volume button for 20-30 seconds until the middle screen goes black, then let go.

Thanks, I'm on iDrive 7. I rebooted last night and it was still the same, but this morning it was all back to normal.

These issues is exactly why I never get Navigation in my BMW . Believe it or not connected drive is problematic enough without Navigating . So what works , works ! One day I'll get in my car and all of a suddon something that didn't work will work ! I found a great solution and it was a cellphone holder for my dash ! My Samsung S10 never fails me and Waze works flawlessly with my Spotify ! As far as Mercedes Benz and there navigation goes you are right my wife has a E350 and Never has problems with her apps ! You would think BMW would get their act together ! Still only drive Beemers but you can keep the navigation !

An X5 without Navigation would be a rare bird indeed....

Just pick up our X5 two days ago and I am impressed with the features of Idrive 7. I fired off 10 different voice test locations and they all came right up. I suspect those having problems do not have the latest software version that was mentioned. Anyway still figuring out everything. Amazing vehicle.

I hate trying to input destinations in my 2019 G05 M50d. It frequently cannot find a location I've manually input, only to show the destination as a selectable option once I've found it through alternative means, perhaps, say, as a Category Search.

My wife's 2017 730d works wayyyyy better. Voice input, say, "The Spire, Dublin"... bam... no issues.

Does not work nearly as well on iDrive 7.

Sending destinations via App works fine... but this should work far better, in-vehicle.
