Infortainment Screen Black iDrive 8
Has anyone experienced the infotainment screen going black with only BMW in the middle of the screen? Played music via CarPlay, audio worked, but no way to see any of the functionality this screen contains. I tried rebooting iDrive but must’ve been doing it wrong as I couldn’t do so. Shut down and locked the car, restarted, same issue. After leaving it parked for about 30 minutes, screen returned as normal 🤷‍♂️
I understand this has occurred on other BMW models with ID8. Anyone else seen this in the G80? |

This just happened to my 2023 M3. What a piece of s#!t. Talk about ruining the best vehicle user interface. I can't control anything climate wise now.

It’s been 58 low, 64 high here on the Southern California coast for about two months now. And we’re it got, that’s absolutely no excuse. “Oh yea, sorry. When it gets hot you get frozen out of your air on controls.” Real brilliant.
Sorry, I’ve been annoyed by iDrive 8 since day one and this just sends me over the edge.

Also, for anybody that had this happen, do you recall which software you were running, or what updates were installed? I believe only two updates have been released, 11/2022 and 03/2023. I'm still on the 11/2022 update(just a few days ago) and have not had this happen......yet. Last edited by Sp2pilot; 06-16-2023 at 02:16 PM.. |

This just happened on my brand new 2023 G80 comp with 2,000 miles. Started the car and center screen completely black. restarted car, same thing. Tried holding the volume knob for 30 secs and nothing. Dealer confirmed a failed center display and ordered from Germany.

Bumping this thread as I just dealt with this issue last night. Car was in my driveway after a long day of driving around with my family and unloaded all our bags etc. Went back out to the car and noticed the center screen completely black. Held down the power button for over one minute and nothing. Decided to park the car in the garage and lock the car and went inside my house. Came back 20 minutes later to check on the car and everything worked normally. Hopefully it is just a one time glitch and doesn't require an entire screen replacement.

Haven't had this yet in the '24. However, there are so many little gremlins with the iDrive 8. Comes back on and radio station is different sometimes. Sometimes it doesn't come back on to radio. Every time the software is updated - a complete pain in the ass - the remote start is deactivated. The whole system is idiotic. Just watched a video on the Ineos Grenadier and they were poking fun of all the buttons. I looked on in sheer envy at all those glorious buttons.

Just had this happen to me this morning. Car sat in garage overnight, unlocked. Went to start it this morning, and noticed the right screen stayed black with just the letters BMW.
The latest software update was just installed about a week ago. Did the soft reset(hold vol for 30'ish seconds), once while parked and once while driving. No change. I just locked the car and the BMW letters went away on the screen. I'll let it sit locked for the next 6 hours or so and see what happens. |
