How to reset the iDrive on a BMW XM?

My iDrive on my BMW XM has been acting up lately and I'm not sure what to do. It seems to be frozen and unresponsive. How can I reset it?

First, try holding down the power button for at least 20 seconds. If that doesn't work, you can try disconnecting the car's battery for a few minutes and then reconnecting it. If the issue persists, it might be worth bringing it to a BMW dealership for further assistance.

To reset the iDrive on your BMW XM, press and hold the iDrive controller for approximately 10 seconds until the screen goes blank. Then, release the button and wait for the system to reset. If the issue continues, try performing a software update through the iDrive settings menu.

If you're having trouble with your iDrive, one potential solution is to disconnect your phone from the Bluetooth connection. Sometimes, a problematic Bluetooth connection can cause issues with the iDrive. After disconnecting, try reconnecting your phone and see if that resolves the issue.
