Cannot take calls with BMW car kit and iOS 10

I upgraded to iOS 10 last Monday. Since the upgrade I'm unable to take incoming calls in my BMW with its factory installed arm rest car kit. With iOS 9 this worked fine. With iOS 10 I can take the call with the button on the steering wheel. The car says it's connecting, but I cannot hear the caller, and the caller doesn't hear me.


Starting an outgoing call still works fine.


Is there some way of fixing the incoming calls?

iPhone 6, iOS 10.0.2

2014 328i Wagon, iPhone 6 with IOS10 and when you get in the car, the idrive simply locks up and shows that an outgunning call is being placed. Phone looks non active, but the BMW screens shows an outgoing to call to VM. BMW has updated everything, but it keeps happening. Other than buying a new phone because Apple released buggy SW, suggestions?

My problem is solved, but *not* because my iPhone 6 is working correctly again. Last week I received my iPhone 7 and surprisingly it works flawlessly with iOS 10 and the BMW.


So I'm okay now, but I hope that a future release of iOS 10 will fix this problem for people with older phones.

Hello I've same problem as Yost described in the first topic. My car is BMW 2015 3 series and after updating iOS 10 this problem happened. I tried reset all the settings of my car and unpaid my phone it didn't work. At the end I reset my phone an made a new iPhone first days it was working properly but then problem continued. I'm really disappointed with iOS 10, there was no problem with ios 9 with my iPhone 6 & 6+
