Any idea why this would happen?
It happened all of a sudden and still doesn't work after I hard reset idrive and even tte next day after a full restart.
The speed control still works though.
This is in both traffic jam assistant and full adaptive cruise modes.

Funny question but is your seatbelt on?

Actually no lol.
Yes thank you that worked. I took my belt off to reach for something that fell and that deactivated it. Tried it with the belt on and it works.
Oops.

We had a long thread about this very same situation a few months ago and we were all wracking our brains to figure out what was going on. One adept member immediately noticed the seatbelt issue and we were flabbergasted at how he knew that lol. But now we all know
