iDrive Generations iDrive (1st Gen) Īn early prototype iDrive (called the Intuitive Interaction Concept) was featured on the BMW Z9 concept in 1999. BMW also owns the Mini brand, and a pared-down version of iDrive is available on those cars, branded as Connected. IDrive is also used in modern Rolls-Royce models, as Rolls-Royce is owned by BMW, and in the 2019 onwards Toyota Supra which is a collaboration between BMW and Toyota. IDrive allows the driver (and, in some models, front-seat passengers) to control the climate ( air conditioner and heater), audio system ( radio and CD player), navigation system, and the communication system. These are used for high-speed applications such as controlling the television, DVD, or driver assistance systems like adaptive cruise control, infrared night vision or head-up display. IDrive introduced the first multiplexed MOST Bus/ Byteflight optical fiber data busses with very high bit rate in a production vehicle. The system unifies an array of functions under a single control architecture consisting of an LCD panel mounted in the dashboard and a control knob mounted on the center console. It was launched in 2001, first appearing in the E65 7 Series. IDrive is an in-car communications and entertainment system, used to control most secondary vehicle systems in late-model BMW cars.
