Try a hard reset. But it's more likely a hardware problem.

The e90 has a common problem with water ingress in the PDC module. Often it causes CAN bus faults and is unplugged as a quick fix. Have a look at the module. PDC is behind the trim by the battery in the boot.

Hi thank you very much,
1. It is the CCC drive and I think it is also an old software version. There were two scroll wheels that came with the car (One connected and one as a spare) both of which look perfect but both with the exact same issue which makes me think it has to be software. How would I go about hard resetting the idrive?
2. No there is no PDC module anywhere as far as I can tell. The car has been modified by someone previous to me owning it and they changed the bumpers to M ones. I'm not sure that the car in its original state had the pdc function but if i can get it working through the purchase of the module without too much complication getting it to work with idrive then I may well do it. |
CCC - to reset hold down both eject buttons and the volume power button (push in). Screen should restart.
The fact you have some functionality with the idrive controller to me suggests its hardware related. Can you show me a thread about this software problem?
Have a look at the controller itself...

PDC - can you upload a photo of where the PDC module should be? If it has the wiring there already then it should be easy to install another module...
