iDrive screen - No Signal
I just stopped to get a coffee and when I turned off my car the audio froze playing a loud screeching sound and the iDrive screen went crazy, scrambled images system completely unresponsive to any inputs.
The sound stopped when I opened the door and the iDrive screen said No Signal for a few seconds then just went blank... I came back with my coffee 5 mins later and started it up, and all seems to be fine again.... fuck, i hope this isn't the start of a mess. |

No Signal
Did you ever get a resolution to your problem?
My M550, that I just picked up on July 5th, started doing this every 10 minutes or so. It just started this week on Monday. I called my local BMW Genius and she suggested doing a reset of the iDrive by holding down the volume button for 60 seconds, and to not let go until it comes back again. Tried that and it still did it. Hopefully it gets sorted out because it's really annoying. Todd |

the July iStep update supposedly addressed the iDrive lockups. ask dealer to upgrade your istep level.

After taking my car to the dealer numerous times for the iDrive turning off and backup camera not working, they stated they did a software update. I was told this was a brand new update. I have noticed the A/C seems better and back up camera screen is bigger on iDrive.

So I took my car in and told them about my Idrive freeze up. (No signal text and a loud screeching) They performed diagnostics and found a fault in Head Unit - VEH - They said it needed reprogramming.
They kept my car overnight and installed the latest Istep for my car. Diagnostic shows no fault on head unit after reprogramming.. Just figured I would share what was done.... hopefully no more Idrive lockups |

did they do just an update or did they replace the head unit first. |

Sorry to hear about the issues steve, I had mine reprogrammed and haven't had a lock up since. keep us updated on your progress - Let us know once it is replaced and working.

I just picked up a 530e, but my 2015 328d did that and I took it in and the service rep told me that the ?no signal? was an over temp protection feature... then they reprogrammed the car and it stopped.

Had this happen in my 2019 540i last night after starting the car in an underground parking lot, though there was no sound. As stated above, holding the on/off button did nothing. Went to In-N-Out and upon starting the car everything was kosher. I have an oil change appt next Monday and will mention it to me SA. Oh, it was 60ish outside, so heat shouldn't have been an issue. I'll have to restore my HU to pre-new FSC status...
