Thanks for that Paul. I've had a fiddle and managed to get one more led illuminated. Took the top off the controller and sprayed switch cleaner in it. Just one to go so will try the same again later.

Good morning. Has anyone had cause to strip an iDrive control knob on an E70? On the top of the control knob there are the four arrows, north, east, south and west. On mine, north and west no longer illuminate at night. Any tips, info, advice, knowledge would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Made me chuckle..... OK Dave, where is said voice control unit and what (roughly) does it look like? I will start there with a 'connections clean up'' courtesy of my trusty fibre pencil and see what happens. Thanking you in anticipation of your help. Ian

Posting this here as this is the forum with the biggest following. Morning all. Just purchased my E70 X5 and I have a problem with the (love it or hate it) voice command feature. Having read the posts in a similarly headed topic on this forum I can tell you that; Voice control is enabled on this car. The language is set to English. I get a beep after pressing button on steering wheel. She does talk to me and every attempt to communicate ends with her saying "cancel". I do not have a symbol appearing on the control screen after I press the button. I don't think anything I say is being registered as opposed to not understood. Any tips or advice most appreciated. This small issue aside, I am loving the car, as is the wife, which is good as I have spent her money! Would like to fix this problem though as I believe once you leave one fault unattended, others follow.
