Does anyone know if it's possible to have a dealership change a
setting to make the iDrive start without the "Accept" screen?

This wold be on a 645i and/or a 650i

Thanks

Geoff

In today's legal system, if you were to get into an accident while looking
at your iDrive and didn't have to hit "Accept" to the terms of use, BMW
would be at fault, not you. It sounds silly, but personal responsibility is
not widely regarded anymore. The "Accept" screen is there for liability
reasons. I doubt any dealer would hang themselves out on the line removing
it.

No dealer would ever risk the liability even if they knew how. But
there's no reason you can't do it yourself:
