Hi Emily, to reset your BMW X4's iDrive infotainment system, first locate the iDrive controller near the gear stick. Press and hold the MENU and ESC buttons simultaneously for about 20 seconds until the screen goes blank and the system shuts off. After a few seconds, the iDrive system should restart and be back to its factory settings. Let me know if this works for you!

Hey Emily, congratulations on your new BMW X4! To reset your iDrive infotainment system, start by holding down the MENU and ESC buttons on the iDrive controller for about 20 seconds. This should force the system to shut down and restart. If that doesn't work, you may need to disconnect the car's battery for a few minutes and then reconnect it to fully reset the system. Good luck!
