    Thumbwheel List not appearing - 7 Series 2015

    I'm having a problem where all of a sudden, the thumbwheel list that shows radio stations, phone numbers etc. on scrolling is not appearing in the instrument cluster anymore. The functionality works still - i.e. If I'm listening to radio and I scroll and select using the thumbwheel, the corresponding stations are selected - but no visual list display in the drivers console. Same for phone calls - I can scroll and press the button to blindly make a call - but obviously without the list it's of no use.

    Im guessing it's some setting somewhere - but couldn't find anything in the settings - neither in the manual (I think)

    Is the display blank or is it showing random dots were pixels?

    Thanks for answering.

    The list generally appears overlaid on the RPM digital display. Now, only the rpm meter is shown. And it is displayed perfectly - no dots. I'm attaching 2 pics - one shows how it is now, the other shows how it used to be when I turn the scroll wheel. Now, even when I turn the scroll wheel, only the rpm meter is shown.

    Since there are are no random pixels or anything - just the rpm meter - it makes me think there must be some setting to turn back the radio/call list on. But for the life of me, I can't find it

    Thanks,

    Is it showing up in the HUD? I believe there is a option in the display section of the settings menu.

    I don't have a HUD option in the car. I couldn't find any relevant setting in display section either.

    Another thing I'm noticing is that I can't select any of the checkboxes in the "instr. cluster display" settings. Is that normal? Everything is unselected.

    This issue has been fixed after a battery reset.
