iDrive rebooting every 2-3 minutes

ChuckGm3 · 05-25-2011, 02:55 PM

This just started happening a couple days ago (a mere couple months after my warranty expired)

iDrive reboots on it's own every 2-3 minutes. Does it whether the radio is on or not, and whether the Nav disc is inserted or not.

Any idea what this is going to cost me? I'm visiting the dealer for my first non-free maintenance... should I bring a tube of lube too?

I would take it in and complain. They may do a "good will" repair for free being as you are so close to your warranty expiration.

No idea why it would do that.....unless your nav disc is not in and it's freaking out...

edit: If you have an '08, don't you still have about a year left on your warranty? Or did you go over 50K already?

Weren't the first '08s in service dates in late 07?

Either way, that sucks, a tube of lube is prob needed for sure.
