I drive screen question

GenuineADC · 01-15-2019, 01:10 PM

Sorry if this was already posted. I did several searches but nothing came up.

My question is: Is there an option to turn the screen off while driving or parked?
While driving at night and while parked at the drive-in theater it would be nice to turn it off.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Yes there is a way I don’t remember how but I did a couple months ago when I had no battery charger and had dead battery. I’ll let you know when I get off work.

C'mon it's documented in your owners manual...

Press the option button on the idrive controller and select turn off control display.

You can also save it to one of your preset buttons to make it easier to turn on and off.

Or you can press the voice control button and say "display off".

This. It's one of my favorite features of IDrive. "1" is always navigate to home, 2 is display off, 3 is toggle split-screen, etc.
