bmw idrive and ios 12.2

after ios 12.2 iPhone update BMW iDrive (2013) crashes and reboots when connected by USB/lightning. BMW's last update to their software was in 2014, they have confirmed to me that they are not planning any additional updates. My car is an BMW 335 xdrive F30 made in 2013. It has always been problematic with the iPhone since about iPhone 5 whatever ios version that was. However, after ios12.2 it's much worse in that it consistently crashes my entire idrive system (radio, naviagion, phone, everything and all buttons are nonresponsive even the display screen) and causes it to reboot after about 3 or 4 minutes. Oddly enough this will always happen if I use the iDrive controller to select search and chose songs, that always freezes and causes the crash. Other times it's just random. I've had apple check my phone for defects and nothing was a problem. I have a XS. My wife just got a new XS less than 2 weeks old and it has the same issue.

Since BMW has abandoned any support/updates for my 2013 car, i'm left hoping that this is a software issue with apple's 12.2 ios. The BMW dealership ran a full diagnostic on my car and everything checks out fine. I've opened a support case with Apple even fully resetting my phone as new, problem persists.

Not only is this annoying but it is a major safety concern as this causes my entire iDrive system to crash while i'm driving, losing all functionality of the entire iDrive system. I can see this causing accidents and being a huge liability for either apple or bmw or both. I don't know how else to report this problem so someone at apple will resolve this. As I mentioned, this only started happening two weeks ago after I upgraded the IOS to 12.2. Since this is happening not only on my XS but also my wife's new XS I am convinced the issue is with the iPhone software in 12.2.

Is anyone else experiencing this? If so any resolutions?

Thank you,
