Phone issues
Over the last few days my phone will not always link up with the cars Bluetooth if I’m on the phone and get in and start the car. It’s not obvious to me how to manually link the phone to the car while talking. I end up using the phones speaker and it’s annoying. A shut down of the motor and a Lock and unlock of the doors fixes it after a Re start.
Anyone else ? |

CarPlay doesn’t have a “transfer to car” option that I have found. Which is silly if you ask me. You can hit the same button you normally hit to activate speakerphone on the iPhone and select CarPlay to transfer it over.

If you're not using CarPlay and are using iDrive then there is the option to transfer the call from the car to the phone or back again. But BMW can't control Apple CarPlay UI so they can't add this back. It is one of the reasons I am not sure I like CarPlay. It is nice for Waze alerts, but I'm otherwise liking iDrive more TBH. |

On a slightly related subject, I can't get my contacts to appear on the BMW screen from my old iPhone 6. As I recall, for contacts to appear requires a fairly high IOS. Mine was recently updated to 12.4.5. Should that work or do I need a nigher IOS? Thanks, Bob
