BMW e65/e66 7 Series iDrive System Crashing
Does your e65 or e66 7 Series have an issue with the iDrive system crashing? We can help! We specialize in affordable BMW repairs in Jacksonville, FL.
On the market in America from 2002-2009, the BMW e65 and e66 7 series had major technological advances. Most of the advancements were in the areas of safety and performance. For in-car entertainment, climate control, and top of the line navigation, BMW introduced a new version of the iDrive system. As with all new things, owners frequently experience bugs such as the iDrive crashing, losing sound, losing the radio, the CD not working, and many more.
If you have ever driven a BMW, you know that it dominates the competition in performance, body style, and in-cab comfort. When one or more of these factors fail, you have lost the entire BMW driving experience. The technological glitches associated with the iDrive vary and nearly all of them are repairable. Some of the common issues reported include: the navigation system crashes or pauses; the radio completely loses all functions; the CD changer clicking or sticking, and an issue with revolving the CDs; and the remote key entry system stops responding. These issues can also lead to network failure and affect the ability of your car to sync to your smartphone.
The majority of these problems are mere annoyances, but some could also be very dangerous. The ability to unlock your car remotely and use your mobile phone technology are two that are more on the serious side. The engine could also be affected, however. In some cases, owners reported that the coolant sensors malfunctioned, saying that the engine was overheating when it was not. There have also been times when there was a clear loss of power.
Because BMW has such a complex computerized system, many things can go wrong, but they are not irreparable. Sometimes all it takes is a reset or replacement of the SIM card to resolve the issues. We recommend visiting our local BMW repair shop so we can use our experience and expertise to accurately pinpoint the problem and solve it using our highly-advanced tools and diagnostic systems.
