For starters, pull over and cycle the car off then on. Maybe even get out and lock it in between.

Take it in and let them know. Most likely you'll be upgraded to latest 7.2019.xx version. Welcome to early adoption of new tech.

Take it in. Maybe they'll find a fault code that will assist them. FYI, when the digital dash was released on the G30 they had connector issues. They eventually swapped out a bunch of them on early cars. However, in this case I'm gonna guess it's more software. Especially given the issues to date with iDrive 7 and LCP. Just ask the early purchasers of the G05.

It's a software issue and there is a PuMA measure for that which corrects the rebooting, on/off of the iDrive display and for those that have the digital multifunction speedometer.
Easy fix. |

Doesn't he lose speedo too? I'd think that's more important to know while driving lol.

My dealership mentioned to me that you can reset most of the electronic systems in the car’s infotainment area by pressing and holding the volume button (dial) for 30 seconds. The whole system will then reboot and you’ll see the BMW Welcome animation on your cockpit.

Happened to me tonight. I'm already updated to 7/2019.39. Going to email client advisor and let BMW Genius know. Hard reset of idrive has nothing to with this as the idrive was working fine. (I tried while driving and it did nothing) idrive is only linked to the map in the cockpit display so has nothing to do with speedo or tachometer. HUD gave me all pertinent info aside from gas level so I'm not that worried about safety but if in 4 yrs and 1 day of ownership it fails I want documentation that this happened early on.
Good thing is It started working after shutting the car off completely and starting up again but there is definitely a glitch somewhere. Others have mentioned some software issues that are out of my knowledge base so will see what happens and if it recurs. Just thought it would be good for others to know they are not alone and if this becomes a major issue we can point BMW in the direction of this thread for other instances. |

for everyone that has had this issue, was there any cell phone in the car at the time and was it connected via bluetooth or cable?
