Bluetooth weirdness

Sorry if this has been discussed before but I was unable to find the post.

I have a 2020 540 and an Apple 8 phone. Car was leased in December of 2019 so software should be from then as it has not needed to go back to the dealer.

Lately the phone will not access the music on the iphone. Telephone calls are fine. I have rebooted the phone, removed the phone and re-paired, etc. but nothing works. I tried to re-boot the radio but it does not seem to go off.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Have you tried CarPlay? Is is the same issue? It's much better quality with CarPlay since it operates over Wifi compared to Bluetooth.

Have you updated iOS in your phone. If so what version are you currently running?

I've had the same issue on my 2017 over bluetooth. The phone is connected for calls, but stops streaming music occasionally. When I go to reconnect, there's an option asking if I want to connect for music too. It seems to be forgetting this option periodically. Haven't found a fix yet tho.
