iDrive partially working

[beemer606]

[QUOTE=ard;1027603]Do you think the knob is actually the "idrive"?? or the thing the knob is attached to is the 'idrive'?????




I would take out the knob/controller and thoroughly clean it with contact cleaner. See if that does it.

Report back

(PS there are threads on removing the knob/controller..do a search.)[/QUOTE


I'm thinking the idrive is a module under the knob or located somewhere else on the car. I couldn't find a thread relating to the replacement of the module. Do I have to pull the console apart or just remove the knob to gain access to the module?
