Which fuse to shut off IDRIVE?

s14roller · 03-04-2014, 08:32 PM

So my IDRIVE is probably shot but for some reason the drive keeps whirling (sounds like your computer when it's reading a disc) even with the car off. I had thought the car goes into sleep mode after an hour, but it's been 2 hours and since I kept the window down, I can still hear it whirling.

Car is going to the dealer next week but for now, does anyone know which fuse I can pull so that it powers off? Car wouldn't start this morning!

Car is an E90 328XI

Thanks!

There is a fuse chart behind the glove compartment
Or there should be.
Chances are they will want to swap out the whole unit.

this thread says fuse 61 but they can sometimes vary
from year to year .

Thanks, I had also saw that thread and pulled 61 as well as 8 which was for the CD, and also the 3 fuses tied to the phone system. None of them powered it down.

Seems like a few other people have asked over the years with no confirmed fuse to pull

The direct route would be the back of the unit.

yeah, just pull the harness from the back of the unit.

Guys, finally found it...so hopefully next time a search comes up, this works for them!

Fuse 31 which is a 20amp fuse. Pulled it and dvd drive shut off.
