    2014 F25 iDrive rebooting & freezing often

    I have a 2014 X3 (F25) 35i and my idrive is freezing up and rebooting.

    Current version:
    Media: MN-001.036.002
    Tel: TN-001.036.002

    Available update UPD05074

    Media: MN-001.037.070
    Tel: TN-001.0037.070
    Addon: HN-002.255.073

    Everything was working fine with my cell phone (samsung J3) and 16GB usb stick.

    Then I got a 256gig usb stick to put more music, then I noticed most of the music was missing on the stick.

    So I downloaded the new updated firmware, then my problems really started.

    My iDrive would seem to lockup and pause for long periods (1-3 minutes) then reboot itself.

    So I selected the "revert to previous firmware" that didn't fix the problem.

    I have deleted all my stored music and don't have any usb stick in the console port, I've even deleted my phone profile.

    What can I do ?

    Any advice is very much appreciated.

    Jose

    I see under the option "revert to previous firmware" a choice to load vehicle defaults .

    Does anyone think this may help or will it remove my keyfab's convenience settings ?

    Or maybe should I disconnect my battery for 3 min. , maybe that will clear the non volatile settings in ram ??

    Thanks for any help.

    Basically.... there just is very little, if any, help on any type of electronic issues for our bmws on this forum ...
    ... forty-three years of driving before I get behind the wheel of a BMW .... and I am thinking, "why did it take me so long?"
    ... and then after another 4 years I can't believe that I have two of them !!

    Thanks, I got an estimate for $240 to upgrade my vehicle integration level which I think includes the NBT update. I guess I'll have to go that route.
