Since updating to IOS8 my iPhone5 does not seem to be able to properly connect to my car via its usual USB cable. I can select music to play with iDrive (on a 2013 BMW), but it refuses to play anything, unless I manually press play on the iPhone itself. I have tried rebooting the iPhone and reseting it as well and nothing seems to work. Anyone else have this issue?
iPhone 5, iOS 8
I am having the same issues described in these posts after performing the upgrade to iOS 8
same issue
SAme issue in 2014 5 Series! Help needed!
Issue fixed. I turned off iPhone completely, then turned back on (while outside of vehicle). Once plugged back into vehicle, it worked normally as before. Try that and see what happens.
TRY CAR PLAY ! turn it on if its off. from the restrictions in general of your setting.
if it not works , reset your network setting from general ~> reset
What BMWs currently have Apple's Carplay?
No BMW has CarPlay he is putting people on and being a bit of a wank.
I keep my iP6 battery charged while doing a commute on a full-day of driving with the EL smart-cord that has USB port for my iP.
And the last time I saw my BMW dealership (end of Nov/2014), they stated that the current firmware was from approx May 2013 with no timelines for updating. Unacceptable!
II'm playing audio over USB.
I have this problem as well in my 2015 F82 M4, it's really annoying and has started back when I first updated to iOS 8 on my iphone 5. Turning the phone on/off helps but only for a short time.
Same problem here, won't start playing untill I manually pres 'play' on the phone.
Has anyone any information on this? I geuss Apple knows the issue but can't fix it right away? Anyone?
So you restart your phone, plug it in and then just never touch it again while it's connected to iDrive.... I'll try it out.
I have an 2012 F30. iDrive software MX-003.004.031 and TX-003.004.031 according to my dashboard.
