Hi all,
I'm hoping someone might be able to help with an iDrive controller question.
My CCC died a few weeks back and I ended up shipping the unit off to be fixed. It's come back working, playing music, etc - but the iDrive controller is now not working (turning or clicking down have no effect). The company that repaired my CCC state that they have tested the unit complete with amp/screen/controller and all aspects were functional before it left the shop. I tend to believe them as they have been extremely helpful to date.
I've checked all the connections round the back of the CCC unit - everything looks fine. So my question is where do I go next? Where does the iDrive controller get its power from? I can't find anything in the fuse diagrams; and it kinda feels like it's not only the controller that is suffering as the 'menu' and 'voice' buttons behind the knob also don't work and they are not part of the controller unit.
I wouldn't know where to start with diagnosing this. I don't think that the controller is at fault and am certainly not going to spend over £400 on a new one unless I know 100% it's faulty. Any tips, or things I can check?
My gut feeling is that this is power related - hence my question about where the controller power comes from.
Thanks in advance,
TD.
