SITUATION
The vehicle may experience various operation faults with the infotainment system such as:
Resets of the head unit
Delayed start-up of the head unit (longer than 30 seconds)
Failed start-up of the head unit
Sporadic or permanent problems with navigation
Sporadic or permanent Bluetooth connection problems
Sporadic or permanent audio problems
Sporadic or permanent speech / IPA (international phonetic alphabet) problems
Missing displays, radio stations, camera images or applications
CAUSE
Unfavorable software in the head unit.
CORRECTION
Program the complete vehicle.
PROCEDURE
Determine what the vehicle’s current I-level is by either using AIR or the Key Reader/Aftersales Workplace
(AWP) application to first confirm that the vehicle’s software can be updated.
In the event of a currently present related customer concern, proceed with each step for resolution as
follows:
Allow the vehicle to enter a full sleep cycle. If necessary, this measure can also be carried out by the customer before
arriving at the dealership.
Restart the head unit via a long press of more than 70 seconds on the volume control button (head unit reset). In the
event of a fault and ONLY when stationary, this can also be carried out by the customer before arriving at the
dealership.
Perform a 12 V battery reset (disconnect the vehicle battery)

65 27 25_VARIOUS HEAD UNIT SOFTWARE ISSUES – HU-H4 TO HU-H6
If the previous steps resolved the issue OR the issue is sporadic and not currently occurring:
If any relevant faults are stored, carry out a diagnosis with ISTA and work through the corresponding test module if
available
Perform any available Remote Software Upgrade currently downloaded to the vehicle. Reference SI B09 01 25 for
more information.
If there is not a current RSU available in the vehicle, program the vehicle with the current ISTA version
Program the vehicle using the most current version of ISTA.
Connect the battery charger to the vehicle
Connect the programming system to the vehicle (ISTA 4)
Determine measures plan
Accept and fully work through the measures plan with the control units to be
programmed/encoded and enabled
Follow the rework list
Depending on the rework list, carry out a vehicle test and delete the fault memory if
needed
After the programming has been fully completed, check functionality of the system.
Note: ISTA will automatically reprogram and code all programmable control modules that do not have the
latest software.
Note: In most cases, parts replacement does not provide a remedy and is therefore not permitted before programming has
been performed
Always connect a BMW-approved battery charger/power supply (SI B04 23 10).
For information on programming and coding with ISTA, refer to Dealer Universal Portal / TIS / Technical
Documentation / Diagnostics and Programming / Programming Documentation.

Vehicle Programming and Encoding – Additional Work (RO and Claim Comments Required)
This procedure automatically reprograms and encodes any vehicle control modules that do not have the latest software Ilevel.
If one or more control modules fail during the reprogramming procedure, claim the required consequential
repair work procedures to address this issue (including performing the IRAP Control Unit Recovery first as
required, refer to the SIB in AIR) under the Repair Code in this bulletin together with the corresponding labor
operation codes and their flat rate unit (FRU) allowance(s), including the diagnosis* that applies.
Please explain the additional work procedures that were performed (The why and the what) on the repair order and in the
claim comments.
For covered repairs that address control module failures that occurred prior to performing this
reprogramming procedure, claim this work with the appliable Repair Code listed in AIR together with the
corresponding labor operation codes and their flat rate unit (FRU) allowance(s), including the diagnosis* that
applies.
(*) Based on which one applies to your center, please refer to SI B01 01 20 or B01 07 20 for the applicable procedure for
documenting, claiming, and explaining, on the RO and in the claim comments, your diagnosis work time (WT), job/repair
work time (WT), and the vehicle repairs your center performed, unless otherwise required by State law.
