 Need iDrive help



We have had our new 530i for just 4 days. Everything was working well the past few days. Today when I got off work, I found that the iDrive screen was frozen. I kept pushing down on the controller to Accept the warning message but nothing happen. The radio did not work, the time was off, etc... Can someone suggest a solution? I won't be able to take it to the dealer for a few more days. Thanks in advance for your help.

If you don't have NAV then all you can do is leave your car off for several hours. If you do have NAV, there is a type of ctrl+alt+delete, I can't remember what it is but its posted here in this forum....Good luck!

I do have NAV. I will try to search this forum to see if I can find the instruction. Thanks.

Thanks. For some unknown reasons before I even tried to reset it using your instruction, the iDrive started working again. Do you know how I can find out my iDrive software version?
Good to hear it reset finally. Unfortunately, your dealer has to tell you your iDrive software version.
