idrive restarts randomly

03-09-2007, 02:44 AM

i just picked up my E92 335i last tuesday (2/27) and this problem first started on the 3rd day. while im listening to any kind of audio (radio, cd, aux), the idrive all of the sudden stops, then shows that BMW sign it does when you start up the car, then shows that caution warning where you have to push accept then goes back to normal. the idrive does this randomly, whenever i dont expect it. i can go 30 minutes non stop listening to music, then it freezes; or sometimes just 10 minutes after restarting by itself again, and repeats. im guessing i have the newest idrive software since i barely had the car for week. i tried searching if anyone else has had this problem but couldnt find anything. one time, it didn't even read my navigation dvd til 30 seconds later and where the perspective display usually shows, was not there and just showed the travel info and once it read the nav dvd, it went back to perspective. i was wondering if anyone had any advice or suggestions?

and sorry for the run on sentences, im a bit tired

Take it in and get a reflash.

Mine too. But even after replacing all, the system still hangs.
