iOS 13 Apple Music and BMW's iDrive problems

fixed!

bugs can happen.

Actually, the only real thing that I have to reproach to Apple is the lack of transparency in regards of known issues.

I plea for Apple ITIL problem management to go public. So that users would not have such a burden to report it again and again, fearing denial mode.

Like many I can confirm that it now works, although I do think apple need to rethink how it interacts with customers who pay. a lot of money for there products and are then treated like fools when they bring it up, not great customer support tbh

updated to 13.2 last night and everything is back to normal. i can once again select different song using my steering wheel scroll bar and from my idrive knob. It has been torturous these past few weeks. i have a 2016 340i xdrive

I must be in the minority. I am able to advance one song via the scroll wheel and and idrive but it’s only to advance one song. If I attempt to advance past the next song the same symptoms of the shiny showing a check and the active song continuing to play persist. I am in a 15 X5 35D with an iPhone X running 13.2. My X5 has the updated radio and Bluetooth firmware.

The same is happening in my 16 X3 28D without the latest radio and Bluetooth firmware.

I witty my iPhone 7 with the BETA 13.2 code on it when I get home.

This problem never had a basis on the network connection. So BT or USB did not matter for the iPhone connection. It was likely an API incompatibility introduced by Apple that crippled most cars tracks selection and by the recent commentary posted, seems to have been only partially repaired (or a buggy update shipped). We are in for more "beta" testing of a released 13.2 version.

I am not sure of this matters but I have a playlist with over 5K songs (don’t judge me, my taste in music is vast and deep). That playlist exhibits the same issues with the pre 13.2 build. In other playlist I am seeing the fix applied. I am not sure if size matters but that is the only difference I see with the playlist.

They haven’t solved the issue in 13.2, not for my Mini Countryman 2019 at least.

I still can’t select tracks from the steering wheel. The issue is with Apple Music The up / down arrows work fine for BT phone calls and radio though, but they also worked in the previous iOS 13. builds.

Since my iPhone 8 updated to IOS13 the connections to my BMW X4 music and phone functions has become ridiculously erratic

1) I can no longer move through music on the steering wheel or I drive

2) the phone won’t send contact details to car so voice control no longer possible

i seriously hope this isn’t some stupid way to force the use of car play as the phone isn’t good enough to replace the BMW systems

please advise when these issues will be addressed

Can someone, please do me a favor. Ever since the release of 13.2 my steering wheel functionality with the local playlist and knob are back to par and working fine. But now I have discovered a new issue at least it did it this morning will try again on my way home. Siri through my speech button on my 5 series does not function. Before I can speak a command it closes out of the function. I tried this about ten times on my way to work. Is anyone else having this issue on any car. I’m in a BMW and having this problem.

thanks.

I've encountered this as well. Cars in question are 2013 BMW X1 & X5 equipped with iDrive and enhanced bluetooth/usb. iOS 13 on iPhone XS and iPhone 8. With a USB connection, I can select songs and playlists, but can't skip tracks. The bluetooth functionality is limited on these cars - so that works as it always did - it'll play whatever you had queued up on your phone.

I’m also having this issue on my 2015 3 Series, the track selection is fixed but Siri cancels on me before I can even say the command, using the speech button on the steering wheel to invoke it. Used to work brilliantly

I think that about confirms it, new bug that’s actually worse then local track listings not working via rotary. Now I can’t use commands which is something I use a lot more since it’s a safety concern having to look at the phone to make a phone call instead of using Siri. Which defeats the purpose.

Just got off the phone with Apple support. I have Mercedes COMAND system from a 2017 C63 and I am having the same issue as described here with my IPhoneX. The rep asked me to trouble shoot using different USB cables rebooting my phone etc... Meanwhile I am not in my vehicle and I have already done the troubleshooting steps on my own... Al of this is a stall tactic. In the end, if the trouble shooting doesn't resolve the problem, I am to go to the vehicle manufacturer for a firmware update (which doesn't exist)...

I will probably just switch to Android.

2013 BMW F10 M5. After iOS update, the car does not “see” my USB attached iPhone at all. So it’s worse than before. I was so excited for this “fix”. Please tell us if you plan to support non-CarPlay integration. I have three vehicles with CarPlay. This vehicle doesn’t have it. The F10 didn’t have it. It’s not that old.

CAN EVERYONE TAKE NOTE!

I’ve seen emails with people still reporting this! Several threads (over 2 weeks ago including mine), state that this issue has been RESOLVED by Apple in update 13.2 (17B5084a) beta. IF your not on any beta profile please download if from Apple.

I suggest everyone reads previous threads and save yourself the hassle!
