I was so annoyed about this. Basically they were charging to not disable a feature that Apple gives them for free. Question: How is this implemented? Is there a software update? My X3M is in "production queue" now.... |

My CarPlay doesn’t always connect. I’ll turn on the car and it just doesn’t show as an option. I have an iPhone X. Has anyone else had this issue? I’d say that 4 out of 5 times it works just fine.

If you reboot the idrive it connects. Push and hold the volume control knob until the idrive reboots. I can't recall how many seconds it takes but keep holding it down. You can do it while driving if you want. After it boots up your phone will connect up. Give it a try next time. Not an ideal permanent solution but works in the meantime. |

Thanks. I’ve done that but sometimes it still doesn’t connect. The other day, my preset radio stations went away. It’s just very glitchy.

Car play is so wonky and so frustrating to deal with. It works when it’s in the mood. Today it magically connected for the first time in almost a week. Most times it just times out when trying to connect

CarPlay worked nearly flawlessly in my 440i, which was on a slightly older HU_NBT2 firmware version.

Yip, I get this. I switch the connection to Bluetooth audio in manage devices then back to CarPlay to fix it.

I also do this to fix the issue. It’s just a shame that it doesn’t work flawlessly in an $80k car. Not sure if an Apple issue or a BMW issue. My local dealership here in Dallas didn’t have much to say about it in terms of how to resolve.
