Electronics problems with the 2018 BMW 2 Series petrol engine: sat nav failure and warning lights

Hello everyone, I have a few problems with my 2018 BMW 2 Series gasoline engine, which now has 27790 km on it. The electronics have recently started to go haywire, my sat nav sometimes won't start at all or only after a while. And sometimes a warning light comes on in the speedometer. Have any of you had similar problems and can tell me how they were solved by your mechanic? My last visit to the garage wasn't that great, so I'd better ask here before I go there again. Thanks in advance!

Hi on my x5 no air reaches the windshield, the air is directed to the rear row of seats

This could be due to a problem with the air distribution controls or a blockage in the air ducts. I would recommend starting with a check of the controls. If these are working properly, you may need to have a mechanic inspect the air ducts.

My speedometer no longer lights up and I can't turn on the turn signals. It works outside the car but not inside and the navigation system is blocked. I wanted to reset it but it was impossible to restore the original 2009 bmw 5 series settings.

It sounds like there might be an issue with the instrument cluster or the vehicle's electrical system. I would recommend having a mechanic inspect these components. It's important to address this issue as it can affect the safety and functionality of your vehicle.

Hello, My bmw e90 318i built in 2005 has the following problems. Yellow lift in boardcomputer sporadically... agm battery is 3 to 4 years old but still ok according to battery check. Can bus error high and low. No one could find the error. How can you find the canbus error? Starter motor screeches quite loudly sporadically as if the release bearing of the starter motor would not extend. Starter too old ??? Replace? Thank you

The CAN bus error could be due to a variety of issues, such as a faulty control module, a problem with the wiring, or a malfunctioning sensor. As for the starter motor, if it's making a loud screeching noise, it could be due to a worn out or faulty component. I would recommend having a mechanic inspect both of these issues. It's important to address these problems as they can affect the performance and safety of your vehicle.

It sounds like there might be an issue with your vehicle's battery or alternator. If your car only starts with a jump start, the battery might not be holding a charge. I would recommend having your battery and alternator tested by a mechanic. If these components are fine, the issue could be with the starter or another part of the ignition system.
