BMW iDrive Fault? – iDrive Repair Services
If you have a new BMW with the optional upgrade BMW iDrive MFD Multi Function Display Satellite Navigation System, then you may be aware of some of the problems which car owners across the country are experiencing with these units. They’re pretty cool, look great in the dash but at £2000+ they don’t come cheap!
A very common problem that most people are experiencing is complete screen failure which is common across the entire BMW iDrive MFD Multi Function Display Satellite Navigation System range. When they fail, BMW render the entire unit useless and advise that it must be replaced – if it’s replaced under warranty then you’re very lucky but otherwise it seems like a very costly replacement which is where we come in.
Before parting with your hard earned cash, there is a very good chance that your existing unit can be repaired saving you a LOT of money. We offer a complete strip down and rebuild of your existing unit in as little as 3 days. Repaired units are returned with our Lifetime warranty and are fully Plug & Play – meaning no programming will be required.
Our iDrive Remanufacturing Procedure
All units are first tested on our purpose built testing station which allows us to power the unit up and simulate it as if it was still connected to the vehicle. We can then assess the problem and confirm all underlying faults. We then proceed to carrying out the repairs, replacing any necessary major components including the liquid crystal display (LCD). After repairs the unit is re-assembled and tested again to confirm full functionality before returning the unit to you.
Your repaired iDrive will be returned fully Plug & Play with a Lifetime warranty
There are various different models of the iDrive Multi Function (MFD) Satellite Navigation System and even if you’re driving a different vehicle with similar issues, it’s possible that we can still help you.

BMW CCC sometimes shuts down suddenly and comes back on but sometimes loops again by switching off and switching on. Doesn’t happen all the time just sometimes at first startup of the day all functions fine when on but when errors were read there were a large amount relating to miscommunication with CCC etc.
What are your thoughts of the issue and prices on a repair on the CCC unit for the BMW X5 E70.
Thanks
