Connected drive with IPhone 6

fastflyer · 04-24-2015, 02:50 PM

So I'm having problems with the connected drive app and enhanced Bluetooth. All of which worked perfectly until the other day where it just stopped.

Music won't stream via usb, Bluetooth, or via the Deezer app via connected drive app on my phone.

BMW said there's a known issue with iPhones with connected drive but that doesn't explain why it's suddenly stopped and why my enhanced Bluetooth doesn't work either.

I'll be calling my local dealer next week, but in the mean time anybody had the same issue and a fix?

Mine was fine earlier in the week but not used the app since. Will try later & check for you.

Try deleting the Bluetooth pairing at re-pair again. Have had funnies with my old E92 before and re pairing cured

Re-pairing (again) after the iOS 8.3 update has been working for me so far.

Plugging it in via the cable knocks Bluetooth streaming off, could that be it? You have to go back to connections to configure it back on again.

I don't have that issue, but the deezer app is crashing like a twat at the moment when connected to the car.

I gave up after a 2 hour journey trying to get it to work. When I got to my destination I turned the car and phone off and on again and it worked fine. Had same issues again with it crashing today, but sorted itself out after 3 attempts.

What also really annoys me is that over Bluetooth when using deezer on the iPhone and it's not plugged in I see album art in the split screen on the right. When it's connected via cable and using the app, no art. That's just stupid!

Agree re Deezer. Just tried it & its fucked. Spotify on the other hand is all good.

Haven't tried re pairing since 8.3 update. Don't see why I should lol. Fcuk you Apple/BMW lol

So I reconnected the Bluetooth which did fixed the bluetooth stream AND the Deezer/Connected Drive App. Makes no sense at all.

Left the car, got back in a bit later and I had to reconnect the Bluetooth again to get the Deezer app working? Weird.
