@@TechTronic9000 hi, my idrive works but the only thing is the button when I click down to choose any option doesn't work, when I go left righ or twist the main button works, so I dont know if you could tell me what I could do please??

[@nikolayzubkov6159]

Thanks so much, I've been having this issue over couple month on my 2008 e70 x5 and BMW quoted $600 for replacement/ repair. Did this fix in no time, took me about 15 minutes totally. Now switch works perfectly. You saved me so much $$$. Sending you case of "Virtual beer" man! Vielen Dank!

I'm glad that I have saved another iDrive switch. Be sure to like, share & subscribe.

[@julienroblox8043]

Thank you for your video. My iDrive switch Works in all directions but not the push down/select movement. I have done as you instructed in your video and I am in the same situation, wondering if you have another suggestion or if its time I buy the replacement part? I suppose the push down works with that part you show with the spring, should I try replacing that first and what is that part called .

[@TechTronic9000]

+Jane Montoya You can try to do the same procedure to the two larger sensors also.

[@raysunqi]

Great, just soldered it and everything works now, thanks a lot!!

[@TechTronic9000]

+Ray Sun Great ! That's why i did this video, it's a very common fault and BMW services will charge you an arm and a leg to replace the button itself.

[@hardo58]

i have just done it , spilled a bit, but t worked great very good, by the way do you know which type of gas i need to put in the airco.. of this car??? thx for your video

[@TechTronic9000]

+Raj Hardo Sorry I don't know what to use for air conditioning, but be sure also to check the compressor oil (type and quantity) as it's very important.

[@hardo58]

Ok thank you. , where do i check the compressor oil?

[@TechTronic9000]

It's done by a machine found on AC repair shops.

[@didi7005]

Thank you for the video!....It fixed the problem on my 2007 X5!.....I just cleaned after checking (magnifier glass) the contacts on it were still ok!!................................

this worked for my e91 as well, good job

[@TechTronic9000]

Good to hear

[@TheUltimateUniverse]

What was the liquid you used with the tooth brush after soldering and why did you use it

[@TechTronic9000]

That is isopropyl alcohol, it's used to clean the flux from the circuit board as that can become corrosive as time passes.

[@HarisF1]

Hey, I did this years ago but the solder joints have corroded and the pad for the capacitor fell off. Is it possible to expose the traces to resolder the capacitor to the unit again?

[@TechTronic9000]

It might pe possible, you need to trace them and use some wires to reconnect.

[@gavrilasabel3050]

Good job ! It works 👍🏻 thank you

[@Hope4NewDay1]

Does the E90 and E70 use the same electronic board? Could I just buy an E90 idrive module and swap the internals into the E70 housing?

[@TechTronic9000]

Sadly I don't know that.

[@jens8942]

Hello ! First of all great video and good quality ! I did exactly what you did and my switch is working but the middle button doesn't anymore.. I really have to slam the sh*t out of it so it will work.. Any suggestions or shall I buy an other one? (bmw e82 2008 120D). Thanks !

[@TechTronic9000]

It might be a bad contact on the push switch, or maybe it needs a bit of cleaning.

What series is it from? What was the problem? I have a problem with the push function, sometimes it works but sometimes doesnt. Might soldering help as well? (e90/318D/2006)

[@TechTronic9000]

+Andres L Intermittent working, sometimes it work sometimes it didn't, it doesn't matter the series / model. It's the same problem to all the iDrive switches.

[@orhandurmus1869]

Does the centre trim just pop out. I have the 2008 E90 model and don't want to be forceful especially if there are any screws. Thanks

[@TechTronic9000]

Sorry but I have only received the board to fix it, don't know how to take it out.

[@piaggiozip2001]

Hi on the e92 yeah you just pull it and comes of. Start from the gear selector first

[@orhandurmus1869]

Thanks guys. Took a bit of force but once one clip released, the rest popped off easily. As for the Idrive itself, that was straight forward using a fine tipped soldering gun. Took a couple of mins, no more. End result is my idrive select is working again

[@newapple824]

Thank you so much works great save me time and money 👍👍👍

[@thebeginingandtheend7289]

I have an issue. The external port for an ipod seems locked on the screen and I cannot get the radio or CD player to switch on. When I soldered only three points got soldered as the last on did not take and just melts the circuit board so had to leave one point without solder . All works fine on the screen but only get the external ipod point to get music from the plug in point . Seems locked on that.. any suggestions, probably need a new circuit board as everything else is good. Where can I get a circuit board from , have looked on ebay nothing .

[@TechTronic9000]

Send me a picture of your damaged board on my Facebook (techtronic9000) page and maybe I can give you a repair solution.

[@thebeginingandtheend7289]

@@TechTronic9000 ok , will have to be end of week ..and thanks for the help , appreciated.

[@juvenile1757]

Hey what did you use on the tooth brush

[@TechTronic9000]

That is isopropilic alcohol to clean the flux residue from the board.

[@samsagaz1]

It worked! Thanks 😘

[@TechTronic9000]

Happy to see another happy user 👍

[@gizza123]

Like Andres I have the same issue E91 and the select function middle push is intermittent, hoping this works

[@TechTronic9000]

+Brian Hurd The random middle push, or random rotary operation. Both are fixed by re soldering the sensors on the PCB. Let me know if it works.

+TechTronic9000 all working again thanks

[@TechTronic9000]

+Brian Hurd Awesome !

[@kpitanu3603]

Works! Thanks!!!🥳

[@TechTronic9000]

You're welcome!

[@hardo58]

Ok thanks ,i will bring the Car to airco specialist, i like your channel,greetings form surinam

[@TechTronic9000]

+Raj Hardo OK, it will probably top the oil level with 20-25 ml to be on the safe side, just mention to them the oil type as it's very important. Some A/C shops use "universal" 100 oil instead of 46 or 150, this will damage the compressor.

[@hardo58]

Ok i wil l mention the oil Specs. Again thanks very much ,for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@TechTronic9000]

Raj Hardo You're welcome !

[@hardo58]

TechTronic9000 i filled the airco with the gas my self the included a stopleak and the 46 oil its cooiling super again... thx

[@TechTronic9000]

+Raj Hardo that's great news !

[@sarahgoodridge3249]

Does anyone know it tis would cure the fact that my system skips between different programs without being touched. You start car up and it will flick between volume control treble and radio. It also keeps wiping the time and stored trip mileage?

[@TechTronic9000]

It's worth a try.

[@daviddanna9941]

yes it s works for me thanks a lot

[@TechTronic9000]

+David Danna You are welcome !

[@willionnaire60]

Bonjours, j'aimerais remplacer le tcpt1200 par un bouton poussoir, car j'ai le système a ressort en plastique qui n'est plus du tout présent. je l'ai cassé. Est-ce possible ?

[@TechTronic9000]

Sorry i don't fully understand the modification that you want to do.

[@mollybags455]

So is this the reason why my idrive spins on its own ? Any one can help

[@TechTronic9000]

Could be a similar issue.

[@hardo58]

the gas type is r134a. juist found out. and oil #46. but i did not found the oil level check.

[@TechTronic9000]

+Raj Hardo 46 oil is low viscosity, take care when you refill the installation to use this exact specification. If you use 100 or 150 oil it will damage the compressor. Do you have a leak or blown hose ?

[@hardo58]

No i have not a blown hose and there is gas in the system ,of you push the valve ,gas escapes,i think its low in gas, Car was not used ,3 years.

[@daviddanna9941]

nikel ca refonctionne aussi pour moi

[@TechTronic9000]

+David Danna So it also works for you ? Then it's great !
