iDrive issue

[Paul26May]

A couple of weeks ago I was a very silly boy - I spilt water onto the iDrive controller of my 2010 F10. The system functioned intermittently for a while then packed in but then came back to life apart from the fact that I cannot now activate a selection with the control wheel. For example, I may select 'Radio', move up and down the stations but nothing happens when I press the wheel down to engage. Also, none of the other buttons work on the controller when they are pressed to select. Do I need a new unit?

Morning Paul

Electrics and fluids never mix well, probably easier to change the controller get the part number of the unit fitted and Google for sources

Good Luck

So far as i know they are not usually a known failure point so id look out for a second hand unit. Shouldnt be hard to find. Wouldnt want to ask how much a new one would be 😬
