To reset your BMW Connected Drive system in your X8, follow these steps: 1) Turn off the vehicle's engine. 2) Open the driver's side door. 3) Press and hold the 'Menu' button on the iDrive controller for 10 seconds. 4) The screen will go blank and then the restart process will begin. 5) Once the restart is complete, the iDrive screen will return to the main menu.

Another way to reset the BMW Connected Drive system is by disconnecting the vehicle's battery for 15 minutes. This will also reset any other systems that may be causing issues.
