Profile issue? Same issue on 3 BMWs

W288SH · 12-31-2024, 06:27 PM

I own three BMWs. A G80 M3, a G05 X5, and a G20 330.

No matter how many times I adjust the head up display height in all of my cars, the next time I start the car the display is back at the lowest height setting.

Any recommendations?

Have you tried saving your seat position after adjusting? I think it's tied to that which may be why it's resetting on you

You might be able to code it using Carly or Bimmercode

Definitely try the seat saving idea. The HUD is perfectly positioned in both my G81 and my wife’s G42 M240i when I switch profiles.

I never had to change anything when I signed into the G42, whatever it pulled over from my profile saved in the G81 worked a treat.

Tried adjusting the HUD and saving the seat profile on my M3. Moved over to the X4M and adjusted the HUD and saved the seat profile as well. Went back to the M3, and it was still trying to use the X4M settings.
Both are iDrive 7 fyi
