iDrive resetting with new iPhone X

TTO898 · 11-28-2017, 01:53 PM

Got the iPhone X a few weeks ago running iOS 11, and everytime I'm on a call in the car over bluetooth, after about 30 seconds, the iDrive system restarts. The audio turns off, screen goes blank, and then goes through a reboot.

I've updated to the latest iOS and have tried re-establishing the bluetooth connection, but to no avail.

Anyone else have this issue? Is this something that a software update at BMW would fix or are we hosed for now?

Weird, I actually noticed that too recently, not all of the time, but often, never thought to associate with the X, interesting. Thinking back it start when I got the phone.

Was the old phone deleted from car?

What version of iOS are you running? Are you on the public beta by chance?

I am on 11.2.1 (IPhone X, ATT) and have the same issue. 2018 M3 with enhanced Bluetooth. IDrive randomly restarts every few days. The restarts always happen within 3-5 min of starting up the car, usually when I have the navigation active.
Never had this issue once with my IPhone 7 or the IPhone X and my 2015 M3.

Of course according to the BMWUSA web page, the only compatible IPhone for my car is the 4s, which was sold 4 years ago. Pathetic.....

I think there a long discussion regarding this. I had same issue but after updating my phone, it stopped doing that.
