Q: iOS 10 BMW Bluetooth problems

Hi,

Since upgrading to iOS 10 (iPhone 6) bluetooth with my BMW does not work very well. Streaming quality is good, calls have no issues, I have problems with switching between songs. When I use my steering wheel controls to go to next song it works a couple of times, then it does not anymore. If I start Siri the control is back, but again for few more track changes. This is very annoying. BMW claims it is Apple issue (to be frank iOS9 worked fine), has anyone experienced anything simillar?

Thanks,

Blaise

Same here. Brand new BMW 5 Series and an iPhone 6 Plus.

When I was on iOS9 calls and audio worked fine, now on iOS10 calls take 5-6 seconds to connect, sometimes the caller can't hear me and I can't hear them.

When the call finishes the music, which was playing on the iPhone connected via USB doesn't restart and I have to press start on the phone to restart the music. Not ideal whilst the car is moving!

I have followed the generic link Apple provided but that simply covers the basics and doesn't provide useful info. Has anyone figured out how to resolve?

I did all the un-pairinig, restarts, etc. does not help. It seems like this is a bug in iOS10. BMW does not seem to have any updates to the bluetooth controller, we will have to wait for apple...
