Enabled Gesture Control in settings and no matter what gestures I try there is no response.
Tried rebooting id7 and full reset, with no change. Car is Sep 2020 build, so all the latest software. Any one else had similar issues?

Mine is temperamental. Volume works most of the time but skipping a track does not. I have reset it. Even went as far as disconnecting the battery but no joy. This morning hey bmw stopped working and when it came back on it was so low I could hardly hear it. I'm guessing this is headed toward a software update of sorts from the dealership.

Plus One here
Volume nearly always seems to work but have given up on all the others. Great for pax to play with. For track changing I always use the steering wheel controls and the HUD. Have been doing it this way since my 435i in 2014 so maybe haven't given it a proper chance, there again live is too short. Gesture control wasn't one of my key requirements, actually didn't appear in my top 100 either. |

I thought they were gimmicky at first but now swear by using it to control volume, and have my 2 own gestures set up for return to home and recognise track being played on radio both which I use alot.
Assume further down the line there will be more and more, one which I thought would be great is a swipe left / right to go back and forwards between pages. Apologies - not really relating to your topic I would contact sytner and get it booked in should be covered under warranty. |

This maybe obvious and completely wrong, but are you gesturing too close to the dash, I usually do it with my elbow on the arm rest as when I 1st got the car it drove me mad as it would only work 1 in 6 attempts or there abouts, so I got in the habit of resting my arm as I was gesturing too close to the dash and it was missing my gestures. During this time, it always picked the volume gesture up, it was just forwarding the tracks and pausing I found difficult to register and now it's 9 times out of 10 it works.

Waiting for BMW Park Lane to collect the car as very obviously an issue from the factory. Not a good start as they also delivered the car with the wrong number plate, and also forgot to apply the paint protection that was ordered in March with the original order.

Thank. BMW have diagnosed the roof head unit (or something like that) needs replacing. Unfortunately over two weeks to get the part from Germany to the UK, a bit excessive.

I just took a delivery of my car, even I'm having the same problem 😳 What a great disappointment. I was really excited to try the feature, but it didn't do anything. I have to bring in for service to see whats going on.

I am still waiting for the part to be delivered from Germany after a month. They say it could be months more which is unbelievable for a car fully in production. So disappointing to have a feature that has never worked since day one. BMW are trying to pretend it would have worked at the pre-delivery inspection, which I don't believe. They put the wrong number plate on the car and forgot to apply paint protection, so overall a pretty poor effort and I'm sure just never checked the car properly.

When I tried this morning, it did work. But after a while when I turned off and turned on along with my key card, the gesture conrol stopped working. So now it's totally disabled and not working. Not sure whether something is triggering that is disabling the Gesture sensor & after few hours it's turning back on. I have to wait few hours or until tomorrow to try again. Most likely something is malfunctioning, so disappointed with a $60k car. |

Sounds like you have a real issue, but I definitely find you have to keep you hand further back from the screen than you think. I tend to rest my elbow on the armrest and it works 90% of the time.

Yes its just weird, I believe it has something to do with a combination of key and key card or keys. From yesterday I have been trying to use a single key as primary key and so far the Gesture control is working properly. I'll try to use my secondary key and key card on next few days to see if any of these combination is triggering the gesture sensor to turn off.

What is more ridiculous is that, this part they have ordered is coming from Germany (strange they don't have a warehouse in USA nor can't they get this from Mexico where the car was manufactured), so now he mentioned that it will take weeks to arrive. |

Still early days for me but I have already noticed the problem is intermittent with no discernible pattern. Sometimes reliable and other times no response at all.
Correction, now not working at all!. Last edited by MJE60; 01-01-2021 at 11:07 AM.. |

Final point, for gesture control to work, I have to have arm resting on the arm-rest with hand approx 6 inches above gear selector. In any other position gesture control is totally useless. Sorry to read that you are still waiting for part. I read that manufacturers reduced parts orders during shut-down and when produced resumed it increased higher than anticipated and there is a global chip shortage for car-modules because the lead time for chip production is 3 months. Hope your replacement part arrives soon. |

“With the two special equipment (optional extra): SA 6U3 BMW LIVE COCKPIT PROFESSIONAL AND S-0688 HARMAN / KARDON SURROUND SOUND SYSTEM A diagnosis must be carried out in the event of a customer complaint. If the fault memory entry in control unit RAM01: B7F480 - Booster no connection is present and no other cause can be found: (For example loudspeaker noises or background noises originating from the end device ), the control device is: Replace amplifier Top-Hifi-System with the following part number: 65 12 5 A38 AB8 amplifier top hi-fi system” Given there was a bulletin re HK, are you getting the faulty amp changed also? |
