Bluetooth audio and iPhone don't get along
The BT audio and iPhone music works some of the time. The only way I can get it started is to first select a song on the phone.
After that then all the functions work. Searched but had no luck. Tried the forget and un-pair and then re-pair. Ideas? Last edited by MZWIE; 05-01-2017 at 06:25 PM.. |

I usually use Spotify and sometimes Spotify appears in idrive, other times not and I have to start the service first on my phone and then select my phone in idrive. Confusing : |

I have this problem sometimes to. It is not just a BMW problem. My infinity has the same issue as do many of GM cars. It's an Apple issue. Didn't have the issue until we all moved to the iPhone 6 and 7.

It's something on the backend. The latest iOS beta improved it some, now it only struggles 2 out of 3 times for me haha |

I just went to IOS 10.3.1 and seems a little better in the BMW. But my new Chevy is worse. Have to pick a song to play most of the time the first time. Wired is fine. Now if I can find a way to kill off CarPlay when wired through USB.

The car method is safer, in case you do want to use it with another vehicle (say a rental without gps) sometime. |

I don't have CarPlay on the BMW. Have yet to figure out how to disable it on the Chevy.
