Is there a way to reboot or restart the iDrive system? - 6Post.com | BMW 6-Series Forum

I vaguely recall a way to do this but a search turned up gibberish (but it could be just my bad search skills).

Anyone know?

Thanks.

Try pushing down the mute and eject buttons simultaneously for a few seconds.

What 'mute' button?

The volume knob. Also known as the Entertainment on/off button.

This might come in handy, thanks, will try it later

On newer systems, hold in mute (radio on/off) button for 30 seconds.

You can do this anytime---even while driving.
