I-Drive Question

My car is a 2016 F23 with, I think, ID4. I can't save any stations to my presets. It just says station can't be saved. Also, I upgraded my Sirius subscription but I can't get the newly available stations (it skips over them like they aren't there). It seems locked on the stations that were available under the old plan.

Could this because I have it set to remember my key fob? Or is there another cause?

Reboot the system by pressing and holding the volume knob for 30 seconds.

Thanks. Tried it this afternoon and it didn't help.

Have I mentioned I freakin hate i-drive? So I have a profile set. Couldn't figure out how to delete it or inactivate it, so I reset it. After that, I could store a station on buttons 1 and 5 but not on the others. What twisted felon created this system?

Well, today I got the owners manual out and it wasn't really helpful at all. In general, it tells you about the functions but provides little in the way of how to use them. But after a bunch of messing around, I got 7 of 8 buttons loaded with presets. I have no idea how or why. Still can't access my Sirius channels from 75 thru 102 or so. Have zero idea why.

Dear BMW, buy a Ford, try out the Sync system. Copy it in your cars. It's just better in every way.

No, I don't think so. I've had similar issues with I drive in a 2017 and a 2021 I drove. More like a faulty design and a truly useless owners manual.

Have you checked with Sirius to make sure the upgrade was completed properly?
