Loss of communication
Enjoying the 2023 F90 from arrival in April, and it completed the 1200 mile break in review without any issues. Had an interesting event yesterday, where the car was fine all day, then I drove it to the grocery store, parked and shut down. When I returned and started the car it lost all communication; did not have my profile, didn't recognize my phone, and radio stations and BMW navigation were also not available. Shutting down and restarting the car had no effect.
The car drove fine, though there was minimal information available in the dash. So I drove a few minutes, hoping for the best, and eventually the car decided to reload my profile and everything came back on line, without any intervention from me. There were no check control messages. This is the second time this has occurred. I can't correlate it with anything specific. Anyone else experience this? |

I've had a couple times where the traffic data was missing but it still loaded my profile. I also had a few days a couple weeks ago where it would restore my profile and all settings except the ambient light color. In all cases the problem went away after a day or two. I assume BMW was having issues with their backend. This is one thing I don't like about all the companies putting everything in the cloud and data mining you: Everything ends up going through a single point of failure.
I also had 1 full iDrive crash where all screens went blank. The car drove fine through this 5 second crash & reboot. Pretty sure this crash was caused by pressing the media list button which running android auto at the exact moment iDrive displayed a "rough road" indication. Yay software. |

On a serious note, my 2023 also decided not to recognize my profile once. It won’t connect with airplay as well. But restarting both the phone and the car did the trick. Also, I went through software upgrades twice and it forgot most settings I the profile each time (disables remote start from the key, forgets M button config). Super annoying!! |
