I searched and searched this forum and others and googled this to no avail. I could not find a "delete" option for the pre-established profiles in the car. Since we bought a "pre-owned' vehicle, the current profiles have completely different settings (seating positions, radio presets, etc.) which is very annoying. Not finding the "Delete" button on those is even more annoying, help!

I'll keep digging tonight....

I believe you need to hit the 'option' button when you are on the 'profile' section on the iDrive.

Update: I gave up on trying to "delete" and rather "renamed' the profiles. The profiles accepted our seating positions/radio presets but for some reason the AC gets activated on its own, each time either of the profiles is selected. I'll keep digging on how to change this and the dealer will have to help us when we bring it the car for detailing next Wednesday. Will post another updates later next week.

Bemo,
You can NOT delete a profile, you have to Reset it (under options) this will take the profile back to the default setting, then you can reconfigure and RENAME it...same as if you deleted it and entered yourself as new...

Thanks, I'm still struggling in the " reconfiguration" department especially with the AC, for some reason it turns on by default, each time we start the car, perhaps it's a default setting? :dunno:

At least I was able to get the seat, mirror positions, and radio presets to stick...I'm getting there...

I'm pretty sure the AC will go to where ever you had it set with that key when you turned off the car last...
I do not think there is a way to program it to start off where you want it only where it let off..

I remember when I picked mine up. The sales rep spent almost a half hour getting the car set up with me. Next day, I grabbed my spare key by accident and everything was all torqued up. I was pissed. Read the manual, got the other key and finally stopped cursing under my breath.

My wife was able to program hers but no luck with the AC settings...

Were you able to delete or reset profile ? For me, Reset is greyed out and there is no delete option.

I know its an old post, Ive just got a 2012 F25 and the reset profile is greyed out, I cant connect any bluetooth phones.

Any help will be apprecieted

why not doing a full system reset form the idrive menu? This should remove ALL personal data.

Yep, 1st thing I did when I bought mine used. Went into settings-profiles at bottom of list-reset profiles. And yes, my a/c turns on everytime I start the car...irritating.

I recall having to code the system to not turn on AC. I think it's a default setting for BMW that you have to code to change.

Well that's going to be real nice here in dead of winter and a/c turns on.

The AUTO temperature control will turn on whatever is needed to try to achieve the set temperature. A closed car this time of year will likely be warmer than you want, even though the outside temperature may be comfortable. Come winter-time, it will turn on the heat, but since that can take awhile, you may not notice right away. It does adjust the fan speed so it's not blowing cold air until the heat starts to arrive. FWIW, under certain circumstances, it will run the a/c system even in the winter...this isn't to cool the cabin, but to remove moisture so that the windows don't get fogged up. I think, as long as the system is set to AUTO, you'll not have much choice. TUrn that off (I don't remember if that 'sticks' with a power cycle), and you may inhibit it.

The GT is filled with premium components...when people say they want the cabin 72- the car will try to achieve that without your intervention.

FWIW, I hadn't read a specific number for the GT, but on my i3, the engineers have stated that turning off the a/c and opening the windows is only more efficient if you're below 25mph. GO faster, and the drag caused by having the windows open takes more energy (in the case of the i3, that's battery charge) than running the a/c. Unless the vents are set to recirculate, it's much more efficient to get outside air through the vents verses an open window. Old perceptions are hard to overcome.
