BT Audio no longer automatically plays

Never had an issue with my BT audio until this past week. Now on my MY15 (with the old idrive) when I start my car or switch over to BT audio, my music is paused and I have to hit play on my phone. Also, my steering wheel audio controls will display the tracks on the HUD but will no longer allow me to select another track. Curiously, i can still cycle thru tracks using the dash button.

I have tried unpairing on my phone and re-pairing. Closed out Apple Music, restarted- nothing.

You can try rebooting the iDrive system by pressing & holding down the Volume button for 20-25 seconds.

Feel like that's a phone-sided problem. MY15 idrive is static and would not be getting OTA updates like your phone.

Had this problem before. The issue is on the phone end. Just "forget" the connection then reconnect. Issue should work itself out
