Bluetooth and iPhone X connectivity issues

georgere · 10-09-2019, 02:28 PM

Often when I get into my car, the Bluetooth doesn't connect. So I get no CarPlay no phone nothing connected. Trying to connect from within the car fails to see the phone; trying to connect from within the phone does connect for a brief second but disconnect again.
My car is brand new 2020 model, my phone is iPhone X with latest updates always.
The problem been going on since I got the car. Sometimes it doesn't happen, other times it is happening every time I get in the car.
Re-pairing the phone to the car works flawlessly but is time consuming and weird to expect me do it when I did not have any such issues in may 10 year old 2005 e90.
Anyone experienced similar issues? Any fix?

I haven't had any issues on my 2020 530e with my iPhone X.

Are you on iOS 13.1.2? That's what I'm using.

VG - is yours working on current iOS? Assume you were on an iPhone.

Yes, I have an iPhone XS Max and have been running 13.1 since the very first developer beta. I'm actually on 13.2 Developer beta 2 now (which just came out today). No issues.

I have the same issue with a Iphone and a 2020 car, sometimes it connects somethings it doesn’t. I have to delete the phone then reconnect

I have no issues with my iPhone Xr. But, I am not using carplay, just the BMW software.

I take my previous post back. On occasion, I do have issues connecting to CarPlay. The only resolution I have found is wait until the next time you start the vehicle. Even though Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are showing connected to wireless CarPlay; I have had this issue a few times.
