I just got a 2023 BMW I4 E40. Great car BUT, the GPS is totally off. This makes the entire navigation system useless. I have de-installed the digit key from iPhone. Reboot the car by pressing and holding the volume button for 3-5 seconds. Reboot the iPhone. Use Waze and Apple Maps, both gps show I am in a different location. Did anybody bring this problem back to BMW or visit the BMW service center? I have no more ideas on how to fix this problem. Any advice from anybody?

I am still having problems with the 2023 BMW I4 gps system with Waze and Apple map. I rebooted the bmw by holding the button for 30 seconds. Screen goes black to on again. Upgrade iPhone to the latest 16.1.2. Gps still wander off and making it useless. Any ideas or did anybody speak to bmw directly ???

Did you hold down the volume button for 30 seconds? Or 3? You need to do 30 to reset iDrive. I expect that to solve this, since you're seeing it for both navs. If it doesn't, I would call Genius first.

Hi SSH, held down the volume button for 30 seconds. Screen went back and back again. However, still having the issue with the navs. Any other suggestions ?

Hi, can you let me know where can I find information about the BMW Bulletin? I still have had the same issue for over 3 months.

• 2023 I4 E40 with latest idrive 8 software 11/2022.44
• Did a hard reset by pressing the volume button for 70 seconds
• Perform test with different Iphone and using different GPS such as Waze, Apple Map and Google Map
• No Emojis on my contracts name
• Use the iPhone wire connecting to the car
• Dealerships do not have a solution to it

Does anybody have any other options or suggestions? Is there a corporate BMW number or email that we can communicate our problem to.....

Getting very frustrated!
