contacts no longer sync with BMW iDrive IOS13

Having the same issue. iPhone XR, I updated to iOS13.1.2 in the hope that it would work. Getting some contacts appearing but not all. Most of my contacts are on an MS Exchange account (work) and I can't put them on the phone directly. Is the issue that iOS is only letting iDrive read contacts on the phone and not All Contacts, despite clearly selecting 'All Contacts' in the bluetooth settings?

Its a really annoying problem and bad form from Apple for this not to work. We need a fix urgently!!!!

All of my contacts are stored in MS Exchange... if that would be the issue I wouldn't see any of them.

Contacts remaining in iCloud until needed seems a rather strange story to me... it would mean you need a permanent data connection which isn't the case of lots of people.

I am having the same issue with my x5

shame this has happened as I make many a call whilst driving

what an embarrassment for Apple and I am pretty sure very soon Apple will know how many bmws are on the road with unhappy iPhone owners

come on Apple. Pull your finger out. And fix Apple.

I have already tried to remove the pairing. Both in the car and on the phone. First connection it works once. But stopping the car and connect again and the problem starts. All the following rides the contact sync keeps failing.

Yep - and don't tell me it's a BMW update issue..... my X5 is 1 week old and HAS the latest software. Nice job on ensuring coordination!! I would give ANYTHING to unload ios 13 without breaking 200 other things

Thanks. Tried the disconnect, reconnect as well as completely repairing - neither worked. I hope BMW comes to the rescue of their owners even though I don’t fault them, because Apple doesn’t seem too interested in fixing what they broke and that is VERY DISAPPOINTING

I now even sometimes see the wrong name linked to a number.

Apple seems to have fallen asleep… iOS 13 was quickly followed by a few fixes, but now they're silent.

This bug is really annoying. Is Apple ever confirming issues here on the forum or do they just ignore their customers ?

Apple are gone sick. Now it doesn’t sync with the watch as well. The contacts sync. Give up as of it never existed. Actually I sync perfectly well on the Garmin . Next get a phone call, stay away from WiFi equipment. It drowns the sound. What **** has Apple made ?

13.2 It did NOT solve the issue with an Alfa Romeo Stelvio! Exact same issue: tried everything, it syncs once and than the trouble starts, no sync, no voice control. Consequences are dangerous driving.

APPLE PLEASE SOLVE THIS ISSUE!!

Yes, I drive a 2018 Mercedes, I've had this fault ever since I updated to iOS 13. I've changed from an iPhone X to an iPhone 11 Pro and done all the iOS updates along the way. I still ahve exactly the same fault as BMW drivers.

I meant an update to iOS 13.1 didn't solve it.

Yes, i did that multiple times and it fixes it temporary.

Any news about iOS 13.1.3? Did it fix the issue?

It doesn’t work. Period

No, not for me
