iDrive screen won't turn on
Hi all, so my buddy turned on his m3 and the iDrive screen was all red, tried restarting and now it won't come back on. Anyone know what could've caused this and a possible fix?

Either the video cable is loose (on the display side or behind the navi head unit), or the navi head unit is bad. The red screen indicates a working screen with no video signal. If the navi is bad, we carry replacement units.

I just learned about the "red screen of death" last night. If he's under warranty, dealer will replace the screen.
What year is his car?

His car is a 2012, and yes after turning it off and waiting for about half an hour it came back on. Apparently there's a positive battery cable issue that causes this. He's checking with BMW if there was a recall for this.

Do you have replacements for just the screen?

The purple/pink connector is the display cable and is not fiber optic, this is a separate green/black plug in the main harness.
