iOS 13 Apple Music and BMW's iDrive problems

I think Apple has fixed this problem

just updated my iPhone X to 13.2.2,

and without any repairing or reseting my iDrive system,

my 2016 bmw with iDrive 4.0 is working like how it used to be now!

I can do all the music control thru steering wheel and the iDrive control knob

2016 F30 BMW 340ix. Shuffling a playlist and then selecting a song (that is not immediately after the first song) only works once, then it stops. I then tried an experiment: I created a playlist locally on my iPhone XS and was able to shuffle and select any song several times. Something is strange here.

I have a Mercedes C Class 2011 and use my iphone 8 or 6 through Command.

In the last few months, I have found that changing tracks on a playlist is temperamental; it will play, but if you want to choose another song, it shows the track you want to listen to for a few seconds, but then it reverts back to what is currently playing.

I can fast forward a song to get to the next track, or search the playlist with the controller and try and play the song I want that way, although this doesn't always work.

This is very annoying.

iOS 13.2.3 and brand new BMW G21 here. Content of playlists do not show after selecting a song from them and both IDrive and HUD only show „please wait...“ but I cannot see any song on either. Skipping songs from the steering wheel works though.

Really annoying!

Unfortunately software version 13.3 re-introduced this problem. I forget what preceded it 13.2.something I just don’t recall. Don’t upgrade to 13.3 if you want to be able to control your music from your steering column or I drive.

I also have this issue. Have been on the phone with geniuses from both Apple and BMW. Generally the attitude has been apathetic. Either “it’s the first we’ve heard” or “it’s a known issue and we’ll get around to it”. BMW did say they’re close to offering free CarPlay for those affected but that’s not the solution. There’s a reason we pay extra money for an idrive. I’m now on my second idrive system. Really frustrating.

Just to mention the following scenario I have with my 3 years old BMW X1:

First I had 2.5years my iPhone 8 256GB with latest iOS 13.3. Never any problem with all apps in Car Play

Just bought this Monday an iPhone 11 Pro Max 256GB and used same backup and configuration from my iPhone 8. Same user everything identical. But now every 1-2 seconds dropouts in Spotify, Radioplayer, Apple Music. Almost everything. Be by

@Apple: this is definitely a general hardware problem with your iPhone 11Pro Max (e.g. chipset et all)

It's not just BMWs or 13.1. I have the iPhone 11 with 13.3 and it's the exact same story on my Hyundai Sonata. Reported it via feedback form but not hopeful that Apple's paying any attention. Back to Amazon Music!

I have had no Problems with iOS 13.3 an My bmw x3. But now with iOS 13.4 Beta the Problems come back much harder.

the idrive Show me the Playlists , but of i select one Titel no playback is possible

i wait for the Next Beta otherwise i Go back to 13.3

Also, it’s not just the steering wheel. The same issue happens when using the idrive rotary knob and it’s ONLY when trying to select songs in a playlist which is very odd.

So Report it @

i started a discussion about the ispeech button on the steering wheel if anyone is interested in joining.

thanks.

Yep, done all that. Nobody cares. Perfect example of a company that’s too big to acknowledge customers input. Just cancelled Apple Music.

I also have the same issue. When playing tracks individually, the track selection works fine however when trying to select tracks from a play list, selection is unresponsive.
