Youtube not playing through Bluetooth! HELP!

jonze79 · 07-05-2018, 02:30 PM

Not sure, but seemed to have happened overnight. Youtube would play sound through my bluetooth so I could listen to interviews and etc. For some reason it doesn't anymore!!! Pandora and everything else works fine just not my Youtube, anyone experience this?!?!?!

note: 2015 F82 M4, no apple carplay

I would try turning your phone off then back on.

If not try updating software via link below and a USB; this occurred randomly for me as well and updating software worked for me.

Yup tried both and still doesn’t work....

jonze79 · 07-06-2018, 08:41 AM

that's what shows on my screen. weird cuz when i use the controls on my iDrive it forwards and rewinds to the next videos on my Youtube but the sound just simply doesn't play through the speakers!

BzsBimmer · 07-08-2018, 05:02 PM

Same for me. Only YouTube doesn’t have audio. I have an aftermarket solution connected and it’ll play through Aux only. Maybe an app thing.
For reference I have iPhone X

jonze79 · 07-09-2018, 09:24 PM

Yup. Same here. IPhone X. There’s an iOS update so I’m gonna try again tomorrow.

BlueBim///M4 · 07-25-2018, 04:23 PM

Did anyone find a solution for this? I have an iPhone 7, and it stopped working recently. Spotify all other music apps work except YouTube. My idrive was updated 2 months ago.

jonze79 · 08-01-2018, 01:30 PM

Still not working for me.

SanchoDivine · 08-01-2018, 08:44 PM

Have you guys tried playing music from your playlist and then opening up YouTube? That's how I get the video sound through my speakers.

Yachtmaster · 08-01-2018, 10:40 PM

oddly youtube does not work for me either. iphone x, bluetooth. spotify/other music plays fine..

Kenith · 08-08-2018, 03:56 PM

I’ve been able to get the YouTube app on my iPhone X to work by changing the output from bmw Bluetooth to iPhone, then back to bmw Bluetooth. No idea why, but it’s worked for me

MRV99 · 08-14-2018, 08:14 AM

Another fix in the past for these issues is to delete the iPhone from the phones list and then repair the phone with the car. I have had to do this with almost every bmw I have owned with an I drive at least once

Zero_Cool · 08-14-2018, 10:18 PM

Sometimes if I use Spotify then play a song on YouTube, YouTube won’t have audio. So I have to manually shut down Spotify and YouTube. Then only open youtube and the audio will work fine. I have an iPhone X btw. It does with any Bluetooth device...

xixihah · 04-23-2019, 05:03 AM

I had my fixed by upgrading ur youtube app

This is the same thing for me. Can't play audio from anywhere if I use Spotify. Photo/video on native iPhone player included. What gives?? Any fixes for this? Didn't have this issue on my 2014 328i.

As a previous poster stated, have you tried updating the BT software from BMW?
