As mentioned in the title, song and artist details don't show up every now and then in my 2022 X3 M40i. Additionally, the next and previous track buttons don't work, along with the scroll wheel. However, when I turn off the car and turn it back on or disconnect and reconnect my iPhone to CarPlay, all details begin to show up and the buttons start working again, as shown in the second image. l've also observed that this issue often occurs when I leave the car for a short duration of time and then return and connect my phone to CarPlay (For example, when I go out for grocery shopping). Has anyone else faced this problem?

Could be the car doesn't like your music... sorry, joking!

Mine will de this for a song now and then. I use either Apple music or Spotify and assumed that since the music and album art were being delivered via a cell signal to the phone that I had a weak cell signal. Usually happens for a single song then functions correctly without having to unpair and reconnect the phone.

Definitely just a hiccup with the iPhone communication with the head unit. Nothing to fear.

Yes happens to me now and again as well, exactly the same as you mention. I normally press and hold the volume knob to reset the system and that usually cures it for me.

Yep, that works for me too.. and better yet, I simply turn on wifi and turn it back off on my iPhone (this basically reconnects Apple Carplay to iDrive) and this seems to fix the issue, but doing this every other time I drive my car is painful.
