Second row climate control from front

Whenever I go into the second row climate control using Idrive, it is set to 22 degrees Celsius and airflow is on very low / “sehr schwach” in german. I like to set it to 20 degrees and medium airflow equivalent to what I have in front, but it does not seem to be persistent.

Any thoughts on how you best control second row climate? I have a kid in the back who likes to play around with buttons, so I have locked the controls in the back as he would otherwise randomly set it to 30 degrees or similar

Is your i5 a USA car? You are saying sear schwach and temps in C.

Also, most (if not all) USA 5 Series (sadly) do not have rear climate

Your location says California But, I figured you do not have a USA 5 Series. USA got shafted big time with rear climate. I mean 3 Series has rear climate controls :-o

Did you check to see if “activate with default settings” is checked for the second row climate settings in iDrive?
