BMW iX Buttons are Confusing, Let Me Explain!

Most modern vehicles are moving away from physical buttons and putting everything on the screen, but BMW took a different approach with the iX. In this video, I’ll explain how the BMW iX buttons actually work, why they don’t do what you think they do, and how this all ties into the iDrive 8 system. From drive mode and seat controls that just open menus, to the missing climate control buttons and those tricky capacitive touch panels — it’s a whole new way to interact with your BMW. I’ll also show you which physical buttons still exist, the hidden volume reset trick, and how BMW’s logic actually starts to make sense once you understand it. If you’re considering a BMW iX or any newer BMW with iDrive 8, this video will help you make sense of the confusing buttons and menus so you can enjoy the car without frustration. *— MUST HAVE CAR ITEMS — * My Favorite BMW Scanners: https://amzn.to/4b6GQBa My Favorite Car Scanners: https://amzn.to/3tR2VTT My Favorite CarPlay Units: https://amzn.to/3Uc8lTZ BMW Focused Mechanic's Tools: https://amzn.to/3krC4J1 Portable Tire Inflator: https://amzn.to/3V5F63v (my favorite) Portable Jump Starter: https://amzn.to/3L3YNUX Favorite Dash Cam: https://amzn.to/49x5tsK (under $100) Car Phone Mount: https://amzn.to/44bW1oM (MagSafe Air Vent), https://amzn.to/483S5ty (+Wireless Charger) “BMW” Battery Charger: https://amzn.to/3HahLIi GEAR I USE FOR FILMING: https://amzn.to/3Ex3RyI ______ If you'd like to support what I do, please consider supporting the channel for just $1 a month: https://www.patreon.com/SimpleCarGuy https://www.instagram.com/simplecarguy/ https://simplecarguy.com ------------------------------ Links are affiliated where possible.
