    iDrive display not working, but can hear radio and use voice commands

    i have a 2004 645ci- the idrive is not working properly. there is no video display but I can hear the radio. I can also use the voice commands to change the station. when i start the car, i do see the 'BMW' visual pop up in the display, but the immediately shuts off and the screen goes blank. it seems to be a short, but i have no idea.

    Any help is great appreciated!

    Thank you.

    Next time you get the car serviced, inquire with the tech and they'll be able to do this for you. The codes that are revealed are DME (Digital Motor Electronics) fault codes. These are extremely helpful as they'll give you a great place to start troubleshooting where possible issues are coming from. Best of luck and please let us know if there's anything else that we can help you with.
