What does "Factory Reset" reset?
Does anyone know if the "Factory Reset" option within iDrive only resets settings accessible within the iDrive UI? Or does it also reset ECU parameters that can only be changed with Esys/Bimmercode?
Just curious if this action is a true 100% factory reset of all the programming in the car, or if it's more superficial than that. Last edited by 2020g20; 11-01-2019 at 09:44 AM.. |

Did it a few times. Deletes all your settings and a few more things you can't set. All in idrive user side. Didn't feel like the ecu is reset nor is for example factory mileage reset.
Logging in with your bmw account restores some but not all settings.

I think it's meant to be used when you sell the car or if you are using a loaner to clear out any personal info stored in the system and revert the settings in iDrive back to stock only.

It is also needed to keep your idrive functioning when mysterious bugs start to eat your connected music features.
