How to reboot Connected Drive?

Does anyone know how to reboot the ConnectedDrive? Used to be to hold down the power button but since my dealer updated to the latest software version it doesn't work anymore. Thanks

I believe, just lock the car and let it sleep for a few minutes while the key is away from the car, it should reboot on the next time you unlock the car.
Or, you can always unplug the battery and wait couple minutes and reconnect it.
But, most of the time when there something wrong with the car, I always pull over and turn off then turn on. Most of the time it fixed the small glitches.

goto menu - connected drive - push the option button on the console and then choose update BMW assist

Rebooting iDrive? Hold down the radio power button for about 30 seconds. It will restart.

Updating BMW assist doesn't reboot the ConnectedDrive

So far I tried holding down for 30 seconds: volume, volume+eject, volume+forward, volume+rewind, volume+radio, volume+media, volume+mode, mode - nothing worked.

Unplugging the battery seems to be the only option. But I am almost sure there must be a secret combination

Assuming it still has a volume/mute button ... Push and hold the volume button in for 30+ seconds. Should reboot idrive.

That's what I said. Not sure why it didn't work for the OP.
