Bluetooth streaming iPhone 6 issue
I have the standard bluetooth in my F80 and an iPhone 6.
When I try to use the Media - Bluetooth songs on phone, it shows the song on the screen and image of album, but it doesn't actually start to play If I go into my phone and on Songs press Play, it starts playing thru the car, but it's a different song than the one shown on the screen and the timer on the screen is counting down but not in sync with the song playing because they're obviously different lengths Anyone have any ideas on how to get this working right?

New iOS update today, 8.1.2, worked perfectly on my drive home for streaming audio songs. Hopefully that will fix the issues many have been having.

Had lag issues w titles not playing for the current song w my 5s w 8.0.0 software. Now w my 6 I have same streaming issues but now no more text messages. Never had emails working correctly from the get go. Also have the no play issues stated above but not consistent. Kinda sucks cause BMW boasts so much technology talk and yet their cars aren't fully compatible w one of the most popular phones ever made.

Of course. They should have it all sorted out in about 4-5 years when the current phone and car software is so out of date it looks like a rotary phone inside a horse and buggy.

I got the same issue. It's annoying but my current work around is to hold the voice activation button until Siri activates and just tel Siri to play what I want. It'll then start.

I have the enhanced USB option. I stream Spotify via bluetooth which works fine but the album art does not update after the first song.
I, too, have never been able to get text messages to display whether connected through USB or BT. Unfortunately, I don't have a 5S or 6 cradle (yet, perhaps)... debating on whether it's worth it. |

Same here...but I did manage to find out that instead of turning off/on BT, you can switch to radio and back to multimedia and it should start playing.
I do have another issue. The iPhone 6 BT audio seems to turn itself down once in awhile. This is not limited to the M4. It was happening to my 335 as well as my Jaybirds headset. Hope apple's update will fix this.

I've had the same problem with having to manually press PLAY on my iPhone 6 to be able to stream music. All you can do is advance the songs on the current playlist. If you try to change playlists, it is gone. If you switch between music sources, it is gone. If you restart the car, it is gone.
You have to pick up your phone and press PLAY again. Every freakin' time. As a result, I've been listening to a lot of satellite radio. After trolling the internet, I think I have found a solution - Settings - General - Reset - Reset Network Connections. After the reset, I can keep my iPhone in my pocket and can access my playlists, search for a particular song using iDrive controls like before. Starting and stopping, switching to different music sources and back again does not break the chain. I read that it might lapse back to its old shitty press PLAY ways, but for now, we're golden. |

No it permanently lowers the volume until I either turn it up or cycle it on/off

After updating the idrive software the album art and song title is showing through BT, even when I change songs. But I do feel that it's a little slower than before about 3-4 seconds slower switching songs. (Spotify through Bluetooth)
