< > buttons on steering wheel not working?

What the hell, < > buttons on steering wheel to skip/reverse from one song to the next are not working. pretty sure there are no settings in idrive to control this. Any ideas?

Car was at a body shop to repair damage from a basketball hoop that fell on it that i posted about. the hood was replaced. not sure that would have anything to do with it but who knows.

Weird, maybe they disconnected the battery when they did their work. The only thing I can think of is to first reboot iDrive and see if that brings them back to life.

What software version are you on?

I had exactly this issue with my previous 2018 G05 X5, it was on 07/2019.49 (July 2019), but the car had other issues too which led me to declare the car a lemon and push the dealer for a new one. I think some of those 2018 cars had system issues

I'm on my 2nd (2019) G05 X5 now (since Sept 2019), with S/W 11/2019.34 (Nov 2019), and I've never seen this issue again. Its been ultra reliable with no problems.

Your issue would probably get resolved with a software upgrade. Get your dealer onto it.
