2017 idrive 5.0

rcclarke · 11-02-2016, 09:59 PM

Subject line says it all. The time as set by the dealer is off by an hour; and after looking through the idrive manual and doing some web searches, I haven't figured out how to go about changing the timezone and/or time settings.

Where can I find info on how to do this?

Thanks!

Couldn't be easier. Menu->My Vehicle->iDrive settings->Date and time

You can also have the time auto set. I can't remember if it's via GPS or cellular.

It turns out that was part of the problem. When I checked the setting, it was set to 'auto set'... to fix the issue, I turned it off, reset the time, and then turned 'auto set' back on....
