[Bugs Meany]

Subject line sums it up. One time I saw an on-screen message suggesting possible “key malfunction.” Could mean low battery, but that’s impossible on a car I’ve had for 6 months. Not even my unused spare key could start the car from a fairly short distance. It’s on completely flat ground, not parked at a 45 degree incline.

The MyBMW app isn’t currently showing “start vehicle” under the remote services menu, so it’s definitely not the keys.

I’ve tried rebooting iDrive: you hold down Volume On/Off for a good long time, until the screen goes black. (This works if you see “No media source available” and you can’t even play FM radio.) This didn’t help.

I tried searching posts but couldn’t find anything. Surely I’m not the only one having this problem right now.
