Steering wheel tilt stopped working - help new owner

[Localbrew]

Hi (2007 BMW X5 3.0si) recently my auto up and down steering wheel convenience feature stopped working the other morning. The wheel still goes up and down but not in and out and funny thing is when I try to move it in and out the dash lights that power the climate control go out and then come on again.

Is there a way to reset the vehicle without having to provide a code for the radio after; ie similar to doing a battery disconnect?

Thanks for your help!

Radio code? Are you sure your car will ask for one? My 2007 doesn't.
