This morning I fired up our 2011 E90 335i with idrive (believe it's CIC?) and the screen started out in a kind of salmon color for about 10 seconds, then it goes completely blank. It does this everytime I restart the car. I can still listen to radio, I just have no display.

Any recommendations on how to troubleshoot the issue to find out if it's the display or the controller, or ??? What are the most likely causes?

Thanks...

Sounds like your LVDS cable (video cable) between the CIC and the CIM is bad. This is a video cable that runs from the computer itself (the thing with the volume knob on it) to the screen. I had mine replaced under warranty a while again for similar issues.

Well it started working again this afternoon. Makes sense that it could be a cable or connector issue. Will check that if problems persist. Thanks
