For some stupid reason, the way the BMW Connected App is coded, it has to start from a cold boot to recognize your car. Having the snap in adaptor won't fix this issue. There are a few issues that are annoying like this. Like if you are playing a podcast on your phone, then connect it up to the car, you don't get the usual media screen in iDrive, you just get a skip back and ski forward button, and no ability to go pick another file to play. Only way I have figured out how to fix this is to quit the Podcast app on my phone, then it goes back to its expected behavior.
