Hello, Bought a new 2018 BMW 430i and have been having issues from the start with CarPlay using my iPhone X. Continuously disconnects and then reconnects. Usually after about 10 minutes of driving. Has anyone else had this issues and found any resolutions. I’ve been in contact with BMW and they are saying numerous people have been reporting it and it’s an Apple software issue.
iPhone X, iOS 11.2.5
Yesterday I went to the local Apple store. They erased and re-installed the IOS on my IPhone X. Since then, car play is working great. If it fails again, they say the issue will most likely be hardware at which time the phone will need to be replaced.
hahaha, Sure that would be the ultimate best solution for everyone.
That is not the case of this thread. That would be a BMW specific issue, not a Carplay issue.
Yes but there were several BMW owners here do I thought this solution might be applicable for them. For me this works so far
Have you seen people reporting this in 2018 or 2019 X3s?
Is there other documentation on this issue? As in, SHOULD it have been installed at the factory?
I'm glad someone else has the issue of when the Car Play glitches it controls the BMW iDrive... For a long time I thought I had a busted iDrive. Exact same issue with my 2018 M2.
I have the same problem on my 2019 Honda Accord Sport. I just purchased this car. My iPhone X pairs, works for about 1 week, then disconnects. It's freaking frustrating.
For me, it only craps out after I've been driving about an hour. I take 4 hour trips to the mountains about once a month and it's a pain to deal with this on a long trip.
Turn off bluetooth and it should stop.
Unfortunately, if I turn off Bluetooth on the phone, I cripple my Apple Watch. Not sure whether I can turn off the car Bluetooth.
I did not have my phone paired when I experienced the disconnects. Oh well—maybe 13.2 will fix everything :-(
I'm not too sure how recent this thread is but I have the same problem with my iPhoneXS Max running iOS 13.1.2 with my 2019 Acura RDX. Any word on a fix? Seems like it's a big problem.
Just have to try all the suggestions let us know how you go
Great info Crossrich. Wish we had some control over the CarOS version.
I am having the same issue after this update. Got software refreshed from BMW girlfriends phone works fine. Apple needs to fix this
I am with Jaygee I even had BMW reset software system. This is on apple and it is still broken/ borderline unusable.
