Lost Infotainment in Dash and Heads Up

So I used to be able to see my presets either in the dash or in the HUD depending on which I had it set, and flip through them using the right steering wheel control wheel. Now I can't get it to appear anywhere. The steering wheel button does nothing. I tried switching it back and forth between dash and HUD still nothing. Also I can't see any info in the right side of the dash other than driving mode and transmission state (D,P,R etc.). Pressing the button on the turn signal handle that used to cycle through the info options does nothing. Worked fine driving home last night, this morning nothing.

On the bright side they appear to have fixed the remote start/3d view in the app.

This -- or something similar -- has happened to me twice. Basically, everything selectable in the instrument cluster and HUD locked up. It defaulted to just show the standard display items (speedometer, gear, etc.) and I couldn't change anything with the button on the turn signal stalk or scroll wheels.

Happened a second time this morning. Holding the volume button on the radio down for about 30 seconds reboots the iDrive. I learned this AM that you can do this while driving. While a pain in the ass and shouldn't happen, I'm pretty happy there is a quick and easy solution, and one that can be done while driving.

Thanks! I'll try that. When in doubt, reboot.

Is that standard? I have the HUD but I see no mention of choosing or scrolling through my presets in it, but that would be awesome if I could!

Presets meaning the 10 customizable buttons under the A/C controls. I am able to see music selections (eg siriusxm channels) in the HUD.

Same has happened to me. Works again after stopping and restarting the car. Buggy and annoying.

Update: When I went to go home from work, it all worked fine. Are these running Windows? :P lol...

cygnusecks - to answer your question I mean my preset radio/sat stations. I haven't done anything with the buttons yet.

Same problem here! I’m a new bimmer owner (440i x) coming from an Audi S3. Frustrating when things change and y0u can’t get them to work the same.
