2007 X5 4.8 iDrive

[02gryx5]

Hi guys, Ive recently upgraded from a 2002 4.4 to 2007 4.8 and so far it's amazing. however my iDrive "select" button is not working.. I can navigate left, right, up and down but I can not click to select an item. I have taken it apart and cleaned it thoroughly and its not working. Before I buy a new one;

A: does anyone have one for sale?
B: What are the odds the problem could be further down the line? as in the wiring or something..

Thank you!

Scan it with INPA or ISTA for a description of fault. ( or for a repair procedure in ISTA)

Thanks. Would you please elaborate on what ISTA is?

What’s the difference between INPA and ISTA? I saw on eBay is about $40 for the cable and dvd software? Is that right?

Osta is dealer level diagnostics software.
Inpa is factory level diagnostics.

Very powerful tools.


Yes, purchase the kdcan cable, start with inpa. Easier.

Inpa comes with the cable on ebay amazon.
Ista does not.
Ista is 40 gb when installed.

UPDATE: I took the iDrive joystick apart to the circuit board. re-soldered the 4 points that the select or push down represents and it works perfectly!

Thank you all for your input! I appreciate it. I ordered myself a INPA.
