From another thread, it seems that some X5s' iDrive can be rebooted while in motion (not parked/stopped) and some cannot. I think it would be interesting to figure out if this is tied to iDrive version, so please give this a shot, carefully, and report. So far we have:

CAN reboot while in motion:
- 11/2018.49 AU
- 3/2019.35 US
- 3/2019.45 CA
- 7/2019.35 US
- 7/2019.35 US
- 7/2019.47 US
- 7/2019.53 AU

CANNOT reboot while in motion:
- 7/2019.35 US

For those that don't know, iDrive is rebooted simply by holding the volume button for 20-30s and then letting go when main screen goes black. This is useful when something seems to be misbehaving, such as the BC button fails to change the dash display, or any number of other bugs.

Are you serious? The only thing keeping me sane with this buggy system is the ability to reboot on the fly. WTF, BMW?

I've logged this as 7/201[COLOR="Red"]9[/COLOR].35 as I am assuming 2018 was a typo.

mrichione didn't break the pattern, I broke reality!

I didn't hold the button down long enough. 7.2019.35 does reboot in motion.

Ok, thanks, I'll update the tracking in first post. There is still one report of it not working in motion for that version, from the "other" thread that started this. Hm.

How about rebooting in motion by itself??? Scared the heck out of me. I was driving yesterday back home on a highway (let's say 65mph) and suddenly both displays went black, it seemed like the car has shut down. I continued to drive and after a bit displays started blinking and all went back to normal.

Did this ever happen to anyone? I'm on 3.2019.60.

I've had that happen once as well (3/2019.45). But it is not a regular or frequent event for me and I don't recall that it has been reported many times on the forum at all, so it would seem it is quite rare. Bug nonetheless of course — crashes (no pun intended) are all and always 100% bugs.
