climate control for air condition doesn't work after putting idrive into dvd mode
Hi All,
Does anyone has this problem in their idrive. If you were park with the engine off and turn on a dvd movie. Then without turning off the dvd, you turn on the engine. You will see a complain saying "safety concern of movie not working while engine is ON. But then, I can turn on the air condition from that point. None of the climate control button works. I had to stop the car, and rest for a few hour, then it works again. |

So you are saying, to reproduce this, I would just have to get in my car, put the key in (or just put in a DVD?), turn on a DVD movie, then start the engine? And the climate controls wont work for a few hours? Did you have the key in when you started the movie?
BTW, if your engine is warm, you should be able to turn on the heater even if the engine is off. Just press the "increase fan speed" button. This is a useful feature if you like to use you car as a mobile cinema... |

yes, get in your car, without turning on the engine, turn on a dvd movie, then without exiting the dvd mode, turn on the engine and drive, then you can't turn the air condition on.

I was not able to replicate the dead HVAC panel as you are able to so here's hoping that they can narrow down on the root cause.

there is a workaround though. As long as I switch back out of the dvd mode into CD or other mode, then it's fine. I will ask them when I go in for oil change

Theft: The key cloning issue where people have units that connect into the ODB port to recode blank keys in their possession. They just break into your car, code a key and drive away!
BMW are rolling out a software update to prevent it... hopefully prevent it anyhow! |

There's no valid reason that the whole panel should shut off. If you turn the fan speed to 0 it does go off but should reactivate on the demister button etc. Try adjusting the fan speed or temps. AUTO will not work with fan at 0.
Failing that, its a fault. |

I think the most important thing is that you switch out of the dvd movie mode before you turn off your engine. But if that mode is on when you turn on your engine and the climate control doesn't. Then you need to got to the music mode from your dvd mode, and turn off the engine. Then wait couple of hours and the computer to reset to normal and your climate control can be active again. Well, at least that's how mine works. I also notice this same problem derives when I plug my cellphone through the usb plug in the hand rest compartment
