Amazeballs this fix really works. The Bluetooth function mysteriously disabled itself in our late model BMW a few weeks ago and it couldn’t be re-enabled via the iDrive menu! We were going to wait until the next dealer service was due (and expectations of a a possibly expensive fix), when I decided to do a web search for a possible fix and stumbled across this video. Just one point to clarify, the vehicle needs to be parked and have the engine running when performing the first step in the video (I.e. pressing down and holding the entertainment system VOLUME button). Thank you for this awesome fix!

Man I really appreciate it! You saved my day. Even my dealer could not fix it. This worked!!

Thanks so much. Your tiny video is a gift that keeps on giving! I was banging my head against the wall as to why “bluetooth could not be activated”. Your reset did it!

Man you are a hero! I have been messing with my Carplay connection not working for days now and these instructions solved it immediately! 🙏🏻

Thanks, your's was the only advice that solved my issue.

This video was immensely helpful. My 128ti suddenly just refused to recognise any of my previous BT devices (phone and iPod) after months of using them wirelessly without a problem. The car actually refused to activate Bluetooth entirely in the settings menu. This reset resolved my problem immediately - a relief after delving into many BMW online forums that could not provide an answer to the issue (many comments even saying dealerships didn't know what to do!) Thank you - you've saved me a useless trip to the dealership!

Just tried this on F44 2 series gran coupe, car wasn’t recognising any Bluetooth device. Had to hold power button for a good 30 seconds but it worked perfectly! Thanks for the tip! 🎉👍

Thank you. Worked like a charm on 2024 X3

Thanks bro, such a helpful video. The Bluetooth in my BMW just turned off and wouldn't turn back on at the tick box, completely unresponsive. But holding the power button for a few seconds reset the system and everything is working again. So random!

You are a HERO 🎉
