If you have a Bimmertech MMI, I think it can be hard-reset by just keeping the Menu button pressed for some time.

It's a great product even if a little buggy. I'm glad my car is compatible and honestly I wish this kind of device could be made universal. Car stereos used to be super easy to swap in and out, but nothing is standardized anymore. :(

It's unfortunately not the Bimmertech one, I have the Unique Auto Developments/IDCORE unit. At the time of my purchase it was the only one I could find with wireless carplay. I know the Bimmertech prime one exists now, but for me it's not worth it currently to buy another unit just cause it might be better. I agree though, it should be much easier to swap stuff on your car like the radio, just because tech moves so fast!
