Computer Reset Procedure?

• Add to quote

Hello! I'm new to this site. Does anyone know of some kind of RESET procedure steps that I can use on my X5 to get the computer restarted again? Right now it is acting super sluggish, such that it does not reply to any turns or clicks of the navigation knob. Even pushing the MENU button does nothing, like it's locked up. The radio doesn't come on either. I did notice that if I push and hold a selection for at least 20 seconds, it finally does accept my input. Anyway, I'm trying to reset the computer so as to avoid having to take it in and pay $300 for the dreaded computer re-program! My mechanic changed out the starter and I had asked him not to disconnect the battery. He says he didn't, but maybe he did? :-( Please help! -Jorge  

If you have CIC (model years 2007 - 2010 for the X5), procedure below. I'm fairly certain that step one for starter replacement is to disconnect the battery... Resetting the CIC The Car Information Computer can be reset by pressing the rotary push button (ON button) for 25 seconds. After 25 seconds, the control display becomes blank as a confirmation that the CIC is being restarted. Note: When resetting the MOST control unit, the MOST gateway is muted for 2 seconds.  

I was told that holding mute (click volume knob in) and eject restarts it. It certainly appears to and that's what I do. Don't know of its a hard reboot of everything or what.  

Thanks all, but neither of these procedures seems to do anything. Any other ideas for resetting the computer? This is a 2007 BMW X5 suv...  

So neithe proecedure reset the computer? or resetting didnt fix the problem? what makes you think the fix is this 'reset'?  

2007-2009 is CCC. To completely reboot your car control computer (I-Drive, Navigation, Audio), hold down both eject buttons for the DVD and CD drives while pushing the radio power knob.  

Perhaps this isn't a software issue. Maybe your controller has bad contacts. Holding a button for 20 sec makes it work seems to suggest to me the controller! If it were a computer acting slowly one push of a button would be all that is needed and 20 sec later the action would take place.  

Hi, well I just saw someone say that I have to push both eject buttons at the same time along with the volume knob. I haven't tried that. I only tried pushing one at a time along with the volume knob, and the display did appear to reset back to BMW and then eventually came back. However, the navigation knob is still very slow to give a response after pushing/turning/etc. Also, the radio will not come on at all (well the display works, but no sound at all). First, I'm gonna try pushing both ejects with the knob. If that still doesn't help, I'm tempted to disconnect the main battery for 1 second to see if that initiates a forced restart to the navigation computer. Or do you thing that this may screw up the main auto drive PCM computer to the point where it will need programming? Thanks, Jorge  

Pushing all the eject buttons won't fix this. Neither will disconnecting the battery.  

Here's the process I've used successfully: Reset Transmission on BMW X5: - Press the start button (without applying the brake) to put the car into accessory mode (engine should not be on). - Press the gas pedal all the way to the floor and hold for approximately 30 seconds, release. - Turn the car off, wait a few seconds then restart.  

Hello! So I just bought a 2007 BMW X5 and certain radio stations are staticky. Also my radio sounds choppy when it plays.  

AM or FM? or both? Any issues with other audio sources??  

Anyone how to hard reset 2014 X3? Anyone tried remove the negative connect to the battery and short the wire (not the battery)? My cluster us having problems and want to try reset computer.

E60 iDrive Reset?

• Add to quote

Guys, just looked at an E60 and the iDrive has crashed! its stuck on the TPMS warning screen and i cant get access to the radio screen, service screen, bluetooth screen etc etc etc pressing the menu button does nothing and i have it on good authorithy (Thanks John Doe) that the iDrive has probably shat itself which can be very very costly to fix. im just wondering if there is a manual reset proceedure that i can get the owner to try? thanks.  

Hold down the volume knob and the eject button(s) for several seconds, it will reboot.  

• volume button
• CD Eject Button
• DVD Eject Button

OK, so got the owner to do the reset, he said the screen went blank and the BMW logo appeared but then went straight back to the TPMS reset screen and the menu button etc are unresponsive. Sounds like a boken iDrive???  

Try disconnecting the battery and if the same happens, stay away. Not cheap to fix afaik. Especially if it has pro nav.  

That's from the stealers for sure but you can get the parts from a breakers/ebay for ~600 but it might need extra coding. Some people on ebay can send them precoded so should be 1 to 1 swap.  

sd_dracula : Just wondering, if you dont mind, you have the PRE-LCI iDrive Control knob yeah, does it tuen fully 360 degrees or just turn a certain amount then spring back? thanks.  

Thats called haptic feedback, some BMW have it and some don't. Every iDrive I have had has it.  

cool, my dads LCI iDrive knob spins around 360 degrees!  

The seller is asking could it be the knob thats broken? I just said i'd enquire about it. but if the knob was knackered, then the menu button should still return the screen to the home screen as such, shouldnt it? Its a great car, with great spec, xenons, bluetooth, folding mirrors, nav, memory seats, upgraded alloys (123 stars IIRC) and is available at a good price so just weighing up the options for him. If the IDrive is knackered, what parts are required to fix it? and where should i start looking? thanks.  

It seems like the head unit is gone. Maybe the dealer can do some coding trick to bring it back but if not just buy that on its own. Dealer will still need to code it with the current vehicle order of the car so it knows what options it's got. Shouldn't be too hard to find one, a few on ebay for just the head unit.  

Hi BMW Family, I have the same problem. I have tried rebooting to no avail. As for mine, I guess the "spring load" mechanism is what is messed up: when I push it down to select, it doesn't respond. Other than putting in a new one, how can I DIY fix it? Paul (Kenya)

2006 E90 335d Journey Computer Query

• Add to quote

Hi all, I have recently bought a 2006 E90 335d M Sport. I am in the process of setting it up to my liking via idrive. However I can't for the life of me work out how to reset the journey computer?? I have read the manual and still cannot fatham it out. I have no problems resetting the computer, just not the journey computer? Any help and advise would be appreciated.  

I'm in the same boat on my 530d :confused :confused :confused  

You managed to work it out? I can't remember the exact steps off my head, but if you go to the Computer screen on idrive, I think you can click down on the options for journey computer and the reset option will appear. If you still having trouble, try let me know soon and I'll go out to the car and get the exact steps for you  

Go into navigation from the start screen, on-board info, this should take you to your 'computer' , push up on I drive wheel, select journey computer, press, on 'set' press again and reset. Cheers.

How To Reset Service BMW E60?

First, while the engine is running, push the odometer trip meter once to reset it to zero.

Then turn the ignition off once more. This step, in my opinion, was essential in order for me to access the Service menu.

You are now prepared to perform the following BMW E60 reset service light indicator instructions.

• Turn on the ignition. so that the parking brake, oil, and battery lights are visible. The car won’t start even though the key is set to start the engine.
• When a yellow triangle with an exclamation point appears in the top pane between the clocks, press the odometer reset button for 5 to 10 seconds. This is the icon for the service, which typically replaces the outside temperature, time, or date.
• When you temporarily release the odometer button and then immediately press it again, a picture of the brake fluid symbol appears. identical to the one displayed by the I Drive when you access the Service menu. The next service item will appear if you simply release the button and push it once again.
• If you wish to clear the BMW E60 oil service light. Once the phrase “RESET” appears at the bottom of the lower window, continue holding the odometer button.
• Push and hold the odometer button until the word “reset?” appears at the bottom of the lower window.

This is the whole process to reset the oil service light on a BMW E60. After an oil change, you can choose to reset any maintenance oil lights. Or, when maintenance is required for BMW cars, reset the check engine light, airbag light, inspection key, or insp faults. or any problem that pops up on the screen. Enter the name of the car you are looking for information about in the search box to learn how to reset other service reminders on your own.

You can find solutions to your automotive troubles on this informational website. If our processes are correct, please leave a remark. If you would want to add anything, please do so. We value all viewpoints.

In This Article...

After performing regular maintenance on the vehicle, I’ll explain how to reset your service indicator on the iDrive.

I was changing my micro-filter, but you can use it for everything from brake pads to smog checks to oil changes. The odometer reset button located next to the speedometer is used for everything and the iDrive is NOT used at all.

1. Insert your key into the ignition and push the beginning button (without depressing the brake); all of your dashboard warning lights should illuminate. Check engine, P-Brake, etc.

2 Press the odometer reset button located close to the speedometer to reset the trip odometer to zero. (This action is crucial)

3. Remove the ignition key

4. Press the start button without putting your foot on the brake (repeat step 1) so that all the warning lights come back on.

5. Press and hold the odometer reset button for 5 to 10 seconds or until an exclamation point or an icon for another service appears. It will be visible between the tachometer and the speedometer. For me, the micro filter appears first. (The service section of your iDrive contains a glossary of service icons.)

6. Quickly release the odometer button and press it again to select a different service icon.

7. After selecting the desired icon, hold down the odometer reset button for an additional 5 to 10 seconds, at which point the mileage displayed beneath the icon should be reset.

Either wait 15 seconds without pressing anything or remove the key from the ignition if you ever want to prevent anything from being reset.

How can I clear the BMW Service Due display?

Find the tiny odometer button in the instrument panel’s lower left corner. until the service message shows, press and hold. When the message says “Reset,” let go of the button and press and hold it once more.

How is a BMW manually reset?

The mechanic will reset the computer in your BMW after the service is complete so it can record your mileage and let you know when the car will need maintenance again in the future. However, the techniques listed below can help you if you maintain your own car but are unclear of how to reset the computer system.

• With the engine off, turn the key to the ON position.
• For TEN seconds, press and HOLD the ODOMETER button. It can be found at the Instrument Cluster’s extreme bottom LEFT corner.
• The dash screen will display FGSTNR along with a number. Your chassis number is this (See image example).
• The LAST FOUR numerals are added. Ex: 3+4+5+6= 18 (taken from the image above). Your UNLOCK CODE is going to be 18.
• Press and hold the ODOMETER button one more until the FGSTNR clearing area appears (you will still see numbers in the top section).
• Press the odometer button until the upper Menu area (entering code menu) reaches 19 after the bottom area has cleared; When you do, the text will appear at the bottom: Press the odometer button to enter your unlock code after turning the lock on (from the example above) This is seen in the bottom portion.
• The screen will appear as in the image above after a little period, at which point the menu will once again appear at the top. To access the number 21 menu, press the odometer button (also theentering code menu).
• On the screen’s bottom, it will say: RESET? To complete the reset, press the odometer button.

Your BMW’s computer has been restarted! The existing settings must now be added again, or new ones must be added.

**NOTE: Slowly repeat the procedures if you are unable to reset the BMW computer on your first attempt. If you’re still having trouble, ask the dealership for help or refer to your car’s owner’s manual.

How can I check the servicing on my BMW?

If your BMW has the most recent iDrive System, scroll to “Vehicle Information” from the home screen, then “Vehicle Status,” and finally “Service Required.” You can scroll through a list of choices from this menu, including things like “engine oil,” “vehicle check,” and “front brake pads.”

Why is my BMW’s service light on?

• Needs Oil Changes: When it is time for an oil change, your BMW service engine light will on. The goal is to inform you when the time and mileage limits for your current oil have been reached. If you keep using your engine without changing the oil, even the best repair shop won’t be able to fix it.
• Low Oil or Other Fluid Levels: The service engine light also warns of low transmission fluid, coolant, or oil levels. Due to these low levels, this safety feature works to protect your car’s components.
• Regular Scheduled Maintenance: The computer in your BMW is preprogrammed with the timings for your regularly scheduled maintenance. The service engine soon light signals that your car needs to be taken in for its scheduled maintenance.

Your BMW will live longer and retain its value if you have routine maintenance done on it. You will eventually harm your car’s engine and other parts if you neglect any regular maintenance.

With the right preventive maintenance, a well-built car like a BMW can last for hundreds of thousands of kilometres. If your service engine light turns on, consider it a chance to save money and ensure you have a dependable car to drive for many years.

What does “service due” mean on my BMW?

Service Vehicle: Your BMW needs service if this light is red. When it’s yellow, your BMW needs maintenance soon. It’s best to book a servicing appointment as soon as you can in either situation.

When should a BMW get a complete service?

A service is a crucial component of any automobile maintenance plan and will help to maximize the lifespan of your BMW by ensuring that your car stays in immaculate condition and performs to the highest quality.

A service will make sure that your vehicle is in good operating order and will also identify any possible problems before they become serious, whether you only need a portion of your BMW repaired or want the entire vehicle inspected.

Contrary to popular assumption, not every BMW requires maintenance at the same mileage point. BMW does advise that you get a service every year, or every 10,000 miles if you use your car a lot.

Why does my car seem to need maintenance?

Automakers put a service required light on the dashboard of cars as a safety measure for drivers. The computer keeps track of how many miles you travel and will remind you to maintain the engine at predetermined times. Your car’s engine will remain healthy and functional for a very long time if you carefully maintain it.

Although it might be used for other fluids or parts, the service required light is primarily used to alert drivers when it’s time to change the oil and filter. In the past, this light was comparable to the check engine light and might indicate that the system has discovered a defect. Now, the check engine light will indicate if a malfunction has been found, while this light is mostly meant to encourage the driver to change their fluids.

What does upcoming service vehicle mean?

Many people still don’t get the ten-year-old question of “what does it signify when the service light comes on.” It’s crucial to first address the frequently asked question, “Is service engine soon the same as check engine,” before delving further into the service vehicle soon indicator.

An alert that specifically says there is a problem or malfunction with the vehicle’s engine is called “service engine soon.” In order to prevent operating the damaged engine and further harming it, it is crucial to have it assessed by a qualified mechanic as soon as this sign illuminates.

normally indicates the failure with an indicator light. It also suggests that your vehicle might be past due

Why does my maintenance light come on after I change the oil?

Second, restarting the counter after changing the oil involves resetting the maintenance required light. As a consequence, you can travel securely on roads and this light will notify you when it’s time for a fresh oil change after 5,000 miles without having to manually tally the miles.

Is having a complete service history worthwhile?

A automobile with a complete service record shows prospective purchasers that the vehicle has been well-cared for. A buyer can gain insight into how the car has been maintained in addition to seeing the work that has been done.

A buyer can tell that the present owner took care of the vehicle by looking at a well-organized and complete service history. Even while it’s not a perfect indication of the car’s past, it’s a very good one.

The service history is crucial for a seller because it keeps your car’s value high. A 2000-person poll revealed that if there is no service history, purchasers can anticipate a price decrease of up to 23%.

The value of the car would be reduced by PS1,750 with the typical secondhand car selling for roughly PS7,700.
