Do you know if split screen still a thing in idrive 8? I used to use it a lot before to show turn by turn and now it seems to have moved to the instrument cluster (I want that to show something else)

@BeamerView Год назад

Hey Ray, sorry for the late response. I've been wanting to try to see if this works first. I do not believe that split screen is an option. One of the biggest reasons being is now the instrument cluster on the driver side is much more advanced where it can show many more different types of menus. There is also the Heads up display which also shows tons of info.

@nallen6559 Год назад

Awesome video's, question on 2024 X5 iDrive40i. How do you do a reset of the infotainment system? Put it back into it's factory settings and allow a fresh start, from scratch? BTW I ordered the rear hatch cover from Amazon, coming in soon!

@BeamerView Год назад

You can hold down the scroll knob on the multimedia controls on the steering wheel, that resets the trip computer to 0. If you want to do a factory reset, it should be within the settings, try browsing for "reset" see if it pops up.

@pedroroseler1483 Год назад

Great video!! Is there a way to disable Lane Departure Warning by Default, so that it gets saved in your ID? Everytime I start the car I need to disable it manually and it is very anoying...

@BeamerView Год назад

Here in the US the laws do allow you to keep it off once you turn it off. I have heard stories about this in other countries where laws are more strict and you do have to turn it off all the time. A couple things I would make sure on though it to make sure you have your BMW ID or Driver Profile setup. Worst case, you can save the lane departure setting to a shortcut and access it faster.

@rkt_1 Год назад

The video was quiet helpful, is there a way to have the default mode as efficient in place of personal?

@BeamerView Год назад

Hey Ravi, unfortunately not. It's been like this for quite some time now.

@jackdavies1504 10 месяцев назад

You have to code it. If you’re friends with any technicians you could see if they would. I did it to my 23 3 series and I average 38 mph

@BombayPotnoodle Год назад

Many thanks, for these - my IX is being delivered in a week :)

@npatrao Год назад

In idrive 8, the options (adaptive, High, medium, Low) in energy recovery in D, is available in BMW 320e/330e 2023 hybrid? Or is it only available in electric car only? Thanks

@BeamerView Год назад

Electric only as far as I know!

@ohhhthatssam Год назад

Is there a feature where we can turn the curved display off to wipe down? I found the power off but once it’s touched with the cloth it turns back on.

@BeamerView Год назад

Only way I can think of is turning off the display using the OPTION button near the idrive controller and selecting turn off display on the screen. Another idea I would try is do the hard reset by holding down the volume knob, when the screen goes black you could quickly wipe down the screen since it takes about 20 seconds to fully boot back up.

@Mark-vk5on Год назад

Can you explain please what for the chapter “vehicle key(olnly available with bmw id and linked key)” in a door and windows menu

@BeamerView Год назад

You have to set up a BMW ID and keep one key in the vehicle at one time when doing so. It'll be easier to setup the MY BMW App first, and then make the ID because then you can simply scan a QR code when in the setup phase of making a ID.

@surajsomai Год назад

which option (on an i4) do you need for the Augmented Reality Navigation?

@BeamerView Год назад

Rumors were saying that the i4 was going to have it since march 2022 but as of dec 2022 there were still no signs of the feature coming to the i4. Right now it's an ix exclusive feature that does require having the parking assistance plus package. No word yet on the i4. If you wanted my personal take on the augmented reality, it does seem very cool at first, but when i an ix with the feature for a 2 hour drive, I barely ended up using the feature, not sure why but it didn't feel natural taking my eyes off the road to see the virtual view. I would rather opt for the heads up display!

@MiniEggs1999 Год назад

I see you can now get Apple map navigation on the driver display when using carplay navigation. Can you also get Waze there too?

@BeamerView Год назад

It's true it does for work apple maps, and google maps (when connected to android auto) still not compatible with Waze however.

@victoryensured7137 7 месяцев назад

Except u can't, I've got a g42 2024 and only can bring up Bmw Navi on driver screen, Google maps won't come on there

@user-kb9tx2yl3o Год назад

I noticed in my new BMW i4 the other day that the image of the i4 in the vehicle status widget has changed to a grey generic image of an i4 and longer matches the colour and specification of my i4. i.e. I have a Brooklyn Grey with M Sport package. Have you come across this before and do you know how to correct it?

@BeamerView Год назад

Could be a software glitch in the system. I know idrive 8 is still having some minor bugs here and there. One thing to try is the iDrive reset (you can do this by holding down the volume button for about 30 secs and let go when the screen goes black) this will fix many issues.

@user-kb9tx2yl3o Год назад

@BeamerView Thanks, yeah I tried the hard reset and it didn't fix it. Perhaps the next software update will resolve the issue.

@farzadghorbani Год назад

question! i jut got a 2024 x6, i had iconic sounds a feature to buy, i spent $100 to buy it and its activated but i dont hear any difference? I had asked bmw genius through the car if it was only for EVs because my car is not an ev, they said no, so i got it...i tried driving in all modes and dont hear anything, just my engine... i asked the guy at the dealer and he didnt know. any thoughts?

@BeamerView Год назад

The only difference it should be making is the amount of amplified engine noise that will play through the cabin, it may be very faint but that should be the only difference. On and it'll play more of the engine sound in the cabin, vice versa.

@HennieBours 6 месяцев назад

Can you also addapt the energy recovery feel in the mode B i.s.o. mode D?

@BeamerView 6 месяцев назад

You could, inside driving settings menu you can see this item called "energy recovery in D" you could play around with that setting to get the desired feel.

@chrisbelgrade7902 Год назад

I saw somewhere you can add the weather app to the screen how do you do that

@BeamerView Год назад

I've always seen it on for some reason, if you are not seeing it, make sure you have your BMW ID set, along with the MY BMW APP, if that still didn't work, try rebooting the system by holding down the radio volume knob for 30secs.

@Stonerszone Год назад

i am having bmw 740i android auto is not working even i connect with original cable i tried reboot still it's not showing but Bluetooth is connected i can make call only

@BeamerView Год назад

Which year is the 740i? I have a couple Apple Carplay troubleshooting videos on the channel that also should work for Android Auto. I would check those out. I have heard that Android auto is often fussy due to some of their updates and whatnot.

@matthewsavidge6248 Год назад

Hi do you know how to reset the trip meter in idrive 8 ? Thanks

@BeamerView Год назад

Depending on which vehicle you have, if there is not a BC button on the turn indicator stock that you could hold down like the last BMWs. You would simply go into the menu (on the instrument cluster) that shows your total miles and trip computer, and hold down the SCROLLING knob on the steering wheel.

@BeamerView 10 месяцев назад

I haven't seen this done in the new ID8 yet. The voice to text detection should be much improved. If there was an issue with the text, I honestly would just repeat the phrase.

@ericpratt3810 Год назад

You mentioned when wanting to charge one's vehicle that one is able to choose a certain departure time for when charging is to be completed, but in that context is it also possible - say during winter - to ensure, while charging, that the car is heated to a certain temperature at a given departure time? And secondly, vice versa, when during an extremely hot summer one wants to have the car cooled before departure to a certain temperature, is this possbible? If so how does one go about doing this in iDrive 8.0.........and did I forget to mention this? Another great video!

@BeamerView Год назад

Thanks for reaching out Eric! Yes, so they are two different scenarios, but both are very similar, I still have yet to test both since it's all new to everyone. But basically, the charge time can be adjusted on the OS8 screen. In terms of heating and cooling, that is done through the MY BMW App; if you see the FAN icon, you can enable it there. But I believe if you scroll down a bit, you should see a small box with the option to schedule your pre-conditioning time.

You would only be able to use one phone with either android auto or apple carplay. You cannot use apple carplay to read emails or respond to them. It will do it for texts but not for emails.

@davidbrady1551 Год назад

can the lane departure be switched off permanently or does if reset every time you switch off the engine?

@BeamerView Год назад

I’ve heard it greatly depends on the laws in your area. Many vehicles here in the US you can turn it off and have it set to individual. For European vehicles I know you do have to disable it every time.

@davidbrady1551 Год назад

@BeamerView okay thanks I'm in Ireland 🇮🇪

I'm new to BMW, can you install iDrive 8 over iDrive 7 on my 2022 430i Gran Coupe?

How to turn off parked car location on 2023 BMW x1? Thanks for advance !!

@BeamerView Год назад

Best way would be through data privacy settings in the iDrive menu. The app will show the last location you were at and keep it there so data privacy settings would have to be de-activated before hand.

@eateatseesee5793 Год назад

Bro, How to make works with youtube and netflix and web browser.

@BeamerView Год назад

So far i've only seen the 7 series have that equipped, at least with the youtube app. I believe BMW will be releasing a later update for the other vehicles.

@leeebbrell9 7 месяцев назад

Timed charging doesnt work well enough it looks to charge in time to depart, it means i may start earlier then required. No good if you have fix cheap rate, no guanteee it finishes in required time

@BeamerView 7 месяцев назад

Good point, yes it can vary on when it starts charging, it does take into account the weather and the temperature out doors etc.

@BeamerView Год назад

@leeebbrell9 7 месяцев назад

80% rule only really applies to fast Dc changing, if doing at home on 7wk charger charging over 80% wont hurt battery, more damage is done leaving battery fully charged for long periods

@BeamerView 7 месяцев назад

Good point, still too early to tell if it does some serious damage or not, BMW does have a message pop up saying it recommends keeping it at 80% max for day to day driving, long trips its fine to go 100. Also keeping the battery between 20 to 80 % is ideal.

@LooK253 Год назад

iDrive 7 is just better. This one menus and icons look like a cheap Android tablet (iDrive 8 is actually based on Android afaik) and they made functionallity way way worse.

@BeamerView Год назад

Yes iDrive 7 is more simple to use, one of the biggest things I do love about iDrive 8 is the search menu where you can simply type in whatever you are looking for and not having to dig through all the menus.

@ginnydesimone875 Год назад

It seems like Drive 7 is easier.

@BeamerView Год назад

It's easier in the sense that it's laid out more simple. The ONLY reason iDrive 8 has a slight edge over it is because on iDrive 8, in the main menu, you can key word search what ever you are looking for. Makes life much easy. You can also use voice command to access a menu.

@MitchM240 Год назад

Did a blind person design that steering wheel? My God..

@eddysenesael3997 Год назад

Very very difficult system, too much complicated ,sorry I do prefer the buttons on BMW idrive 7

@BeamerView Год назад

Yes the system can get very complicated mainly for the climate control and if you control them manually. For the most part the perks of this new system is the ability to use voice command to get to any menu and also they now have a search box in the main menu to search for anything such as "head up display".

@eddysenesael3997 Год назад

Then the voice control must be much better than with i drive 7, because my experience is that it often does not understand me !
