Prior to this my Tunein Radio app and bluetooth streaming worked, mostly. Every day I would launch Tunein on my iPhone, connect on the iDrive media menu and drive off. After 90 seconds (every. single. time. 90 seconds exactly) the idrive would drop the BT and Apps connection for my phone. I'd re-establish it on the Manage Mobile Devices menu and continue on, flawlessly for the rest of the day. Even leaving the car parked/locked for hours and reconnecting after work. Then repeat the same process the next next day.

Now, it drops the BT connection every 30 seconds or so. I re-establish and it drops again after another ~30 seconds. There is no Tunein Radio app on my iDrive media selection any more. Presets, Satellite, USB, etc and Spotify, yes, but no Tunein. I don't use Spotify. Probably going to take it to the dealer for clean install of the iDrive software. I've already had it in once for teh Bluetooth connection issue but they couldn't solve it. I've tried several reconnection recommendations but nothing is helping. Thoughts?
That probably has more to do with your phone and than any of the stuff you've already changed. Did you recently upgrade the software on your phone?
You're right. I just connected an iPhone 6 with older version of the iOS and app and it works properly. Now to see if I can move that version of the app to my other phone
