Hi all
Recently updated my samsung to android 12, but now the contacts are no longer showing in idrive.

Anyone else having this problem?

My car is a 530e 2020 (my work iphone still works).

I am suspecting its android 12 and idrive, though not sure.
I have tried to unpair, and regive access to contacts to both android auto and in bluetooth settings with the bimmer.

The reload contacts button in idrive is there and when i press it seems to do something, but it is not loading the contacts from my phone.

I have the same problem.
2 days ago I updated to Android 12 contacts stopped syncing to the car.
Today I got an update and the first call I made the contacts was visible again but after ending the call and checking again it didnt work

I have a 330E

My Google Pixel 6 running Android 12 out of the box synchronizes contacts as epected with my MY2020 530ix, recently updated to 7/21 software version.

Update with the phone or car?

I need to check if the latest update with the phone fixes it.

Okay! it may not be OS specific but manufacture specific.

It was an update for the phone.

Unfortunately my latest december update for the phone did not resolve it.
Reloading contacts button still does nothing as well.
Aah man it sucks

I have the exact same issue with my M850i and Galaxy S21 Ultra upgraded to Android 12.

I have the exact same issue with my X5 G05 and Galaxy S21 Ultra upgraded to Android 12. Any way of resolving this?

Hi, had the same problem. i got into the problem and did some test's. I resolved the issue with a factory reset. Android 12 update breaks the bluetooth. S21 Ultra.

After some search, I found the following solution:

1) Go to Settings, select Developer options, Bluetooth PBAP, Bluetooth PBAP version (or just search for pbab in the settings menu and select "Bluetooth PBAP version")

2) Change the Buetooth PBAP version from PBAP 1.2 to PBAP 1.1 and then click apply

3) Change the Buetooth PBAP version from PBAP 1.1 back to PBAP 1.2 and then click apply

It *should* work without need to repair or anything else. YMMV

So I sat in the car today and it magically just worked, maybe the phone had a Bluetooth update, I am not sure.

Didn't not have a chance to try Pyros fix, maybe it did that it itself

Great, that helped me out a lot! Talked to BMW helpdesk here in the Netherlands, but they weren’t aware of this problem. Running a S21 Ultra with Android 12 and have a 2020 530D G31 LCI with latest 11/2021.40 idrive 7 SW update.
