Unable to show metadata when connected via Bluetooth

Hi,

most of the times i connect my phone via bluetooth, the player is unable to read the song name, artist, track, etc. also the back & skip don't work.

it really doesn't matter what i'm using on my phone to play songs, Apple music, spotify, etc. it happens with all of them

I have 2016M4 ID4. anyone got the same issue? solution?

Same issue here.

I haven't found a permanent solution, but this works for me.

1. Start playing song via Bluetooth
2. Switch to radio input then back to Bluetooth

I loaded the latest free software update onto a 2GB USB stick and plugged it in to my center console USB. Took like 2 minutes. Metadata over bluetooth has worked flawlessly since then and also looks a lot cleaner. The update notes mention metadata but they did not go into much detail, but I assume this fixed the problem. Also I am not sure what the "Add-on" software does, but that was not on my system before the update.

Just put your last 7 of VIN and it will take you to the correct download. FYI this was done on my 2015 M3

https://www.bmw.com/en/footer/software-updates.html


Before-
Media version: MN-002.052.001

The following adjustments are made during
the software update:

▷ Activates audio output when the Tagesschau app is used. (independent of device)
▷ Improves the display of long track names. (independent of device)
▷ Corrects playback of podcasts. (Apple devices with iOS Version 8 and higher)
▷ Clears the display of old metadata after a change of track. (independent of device)
▷ Removes superfluous note on app installation. (Apple iPhone)

Phone
▷ Enables the use of BlackBerry devices from OS 10.3 for data services via the mobile telephone.

▷ Improves downloading of messages from mobile telephones to the vehicle. (independent of device)

Disregard my post. My car has now been doing the exact same thing. I tried forgetting the device on my phone and removing it completely from idrive but it's still happening. Hopefully someone else has found a fix. Cuz it was working fine. And I haven't done any iOS updates on my phone, it's been on 11.1.2 since I got this phone and was working fine on it until now. Not sure what changed

Is your iphone jailbroken? I finally got to the root of why mine was doing this and it was a certain cydia tweak that I had installed. BatteryPercentX. I uninstalled it and it has been back to working ever since. If you are not jailbroken, then I am still stumped.
