iPhone X issues with iDrive?

Is anyone else experiencing issues with the new iPhone X? I'm not able to get music to play over USB or Bluetooth. I actually had the iDrive crash and reboot my first testing.

Same thing, once I connected it via bluetooth, wasn't even doing anything on it, my iDrive system started to reboot randomly. Disabled bluetooth on the phone and it stopped.

No issues here. Mine paired and started streaming Spotify right away.

'16 w/ iDrive 4

I assume you updated to iOS 11.1?

My car is a '15 M3, iDrive 4 (NEXT)

Actually, I'm updated to 11.2 beta 2.

My iPhone 7+ was on 11.2 beta 1 earlier today and had no issues. I'd been on b1 for the past week?

I just spent a few minutes trying out various combinations. I'm still without any playback. I tried to disable Bluetooth, rebooted phone, etc.. Now my car won't even see the iPhone over USB.

I can't figure out a way to reboot the iDrive (NEXT).. The old "hold the power button for 30 sec" doesn't work anymore.

I tried to connect just over BT, and it shows it is connected on both the iDrive and my phone.. No audio. Audio is turned on in the options. Very weird.

Too tired to connect the ENET cable and force an iDrive reboot. Will try again in the morning.

Same on a April 16 M4. System rebooting randomly. Same 3xperience with an iPhone 8 on iOS 11.x

Workaround for me is switching off syncing contacts on the iPhone. Than I can make calls, music everything via BT but no names on phonenumbers.

That's a good idea. I'll give that a try. I could see where something changing in that sync might cause an issue. I can live without contacts. I only use text message display. I'll try it later this morning. Thanks for the suggestion!

I figured out that 11.2 beta 2 is causing the problem. I noticed my phone wasn't working in my wife's MDX over USB and Bluetooth. Her phone (a new X as well) was working fine. I tried her phone in the M3, and it worked fine. I backed my phone down to 11.1 and restored my backup. All was well. I'll be filing a bug report with Apple.

So be careful with the beta! Hopefully they will address this before 11.2 comes out!

I am using iOS 11.1 and having the problems. Tried iPhone 8 and now iPhone X. Maybe a Bluetooth ver 5 problem?!? Nevertheless claimed to Apple

Me too !!!!

I’m having the same issue. iPhone X on 11.1. Idrive reboots seems like every few minutes. I will have to try the contacts fix and see if that helps. It only happens when plugged in via usb and connected to Bluetooth.

I have the iPhone X and I’m using CarPlay which is a night and day difference between this and my previous 5s. It’s now very usable and there’s no lag, works perfectly.

Having re-boot issues here as well. 2017 F80 with Apple Car Play option. No issues with my 7 plus on 11.1, tried to connect my ATT iPhone X and iDrive rebooting every few minutes. Stopped rebooting once disconnected from bluetooth. Did not try to connect with usb cable. I have yet to try to disable the contacts.

Well tried it with contacts sync and not and same thing. Constant reboots.

So while rebooting it decided to just give up and my iDrive system is pretty much crashed at this point. Satellite radio and Maps are gone (Click on Navigation or hitting maps on the control doesn't do anything). So looks like it's going into the shop. Fun.

Mine rebooted once yesterday, at about the time of a text arriving. Otherwise it's been fine but then I don't stream music or do anything like that.

I have a 17 F80 too. Was wondering if the wireless charging pad in the armrest fits the X? And do you have a case on it?
