Convenient Access question
 

For those with convenient access, when you turn the car off by pushing start/stop button, do you notice your nav screen still running?

My X5 does not have convenient access feature and turns nav screen off as soon as I push the start/stop button.

But my recently purchased X3 35i turns off nav only when I lock the car.
So when I am putting in gas, nav screen would be up the whole time.
Is there a setting in iDrive to make it turn off as soon as start/stop is pushed to stop?

Thanks,

Correct, all auxillary power stays on until you either hits the start/stop button a 2nd time or lock the car. Not sure if there's a setting to "fix" this feature... at least I haven't found it.

I believe if u hold button down a little longer when turning off the car it should turn everything off. Or u can just hit the button a second time like someone posted. Hope this helps.

In my 2010 X5 with convenient access I can turn the electronics off and on by pushing the start/stop button while my foot is off of the brake.

Its such an awesome feature to me, where the music keeps playing while I get the kids out of the back seat. It switches off once I lock the doors using the "magic touch". But I must confirm pressing the start/stop a 2nd time does infact switch it off.

Correct, press the button for about 2 seconds to shut off and kill aux power.

FIVE BMWs and FIVE years later...and I learn this now! I do not think the manuals states this, and the dealeship has never shown me this. Tried it 2x yesterday, and WOW...so much easier than pushing twice!!

Thanks everyone!!!!:thumbup:

Glad I could help!

Why press it twice [in the past] when just touching your door handle locks doors & shuts everything off anyway?

I DO NOT lock my car in the garage. Never have. Many times I am in the garage without the smart key and I need to get something in the car, while parked in the garage. If locked...then I cannot get in :stickpoke
