I just got an new 2019 BMW 4-Series and found this very helpful. Thanks! My old e39 was pretty basic, so I am new to using the controller.

michael Grochowski Glad it was beneficial for you. Understanding the controller makes using the iDrive a breeze

Great video, it has really helped me understand my 435i features.

My arrow lights won't turn on cant find the setting to switch it back helpppp

[@mynarvaez]

Is there a way to make a selection other than by pressing down?

[@geoffd7276]

Does anyone know if you can upload Bluetooth into this menu? Because my X1 doesn't have this function on the menu, and BMW want a lot of money to add it. And I am pretty sure it should have it, because I have all the phone buttons on my steering wheel controls.

Does it work for any bmw?

A bit late, but is the touch controller present on the 2014 530d m sport?

[@TeamBimmer]

I'm not positive, we don't have those vehicles in the US market and features/options are different for our region. I would check with a local dealership to be sure but I believe the answer is yes

[@driv3rw]

Thank you so much. Have had a word and the answer is indeed yes

[@MrSnopdog95]

Does the arrows on the knob light up when you turn your headlights on?

[@Ataylor0]

Yes

[@maxawo]
