Phone Mute

TK421BMW · 02-28-2019, 07:41 AM

Anyone else having this issue... When doing a call and I hit the mute button on the CarPlay phone screen, after some period of time it will turn mute off. Sometimes it's after a few seconds, others a minute. It's really annoying when doing conf calls from the car where I don't want everyone to hear my car noise unless I'm talking.

All the time, annoying as hell.

Yup - same. One of a hundred+ bugs in iDrive7.

Sometimes it takes minutes other times it take me off mute almost immediately/repeatedly.

Crappy BMW software

Same here, dealing with this everyday for months now. Service Center folks told me there is no reported bug and were alluding to the fact it could be just my phone...which i changed and tried again...no luck...

I also decided after carplay and several other facets seem improved to go ahead and activate teh AT&T 3 moth tril. Subscription is active and i can join an ipad or other device and it gets an ip address however no internet. At&t couldn't help much and Genius hotline walked through settings which are all enabled both wifi and internet connection enabled and so on but zero data transfer from the devices connected...
