Anybody having Carplay issues in their M2C?
I've had my car for a couple weeks now and the Carplay has been buggy as hell. It 'stutters' meaning like a small skip in audio. Sometimes it also just drops off line (as in the Carplay just goes away on the iDrive screen, and then comes back after 30 seconds or so).
-I have an iPhone X and the behavior is the same with either USB or Bluetooth connection. -All functions work fine in standard BMW mode (disable Carplay) with USB and Bluetooth -My same iPhone works flawlessly in Carpaly in the wife's Audi Q7 -I have tried rebooting iPhone, deleting Carplay set up and starting over etc. to no avail. -I went to the bmw.com/update to download any new software by my VIN. Then when attempting to install that update via USB drive, the car says the update is not valid for my vehicle. Anybody else have any issues or know if there is any service updates? |

I drove my car from the dealership today back home (~155 miles). The only thing I noticed with the Carplay was that my iPhone X was almost burning hot after taking it off the wireless charger and iOS was stuttering/laggy until I turned off the car.

Otherwise it’s likely an errant installation service in iOS that didn’t close gracefully. Just power down the iPhone and power it back up to fix that. |

It's the inductive charging. It's clear bmw's plate is inefficient and is discharging most of the energy in the form of heat rather than charge. You'll probably see that the charge rate is extremely slow as well. Slower than the inductive charger you may have in your home.

I feel the same, but didn't have the guts to say so. Let's definitely start an Apple versus Android internet flame war. |

My parents are constant phone users now that they switched to iphones. They're both 70. Just goes to show how easy and intuitive they are to use.

I have a work phone as an iPhone and a personal phone as an android. Both have their purposes. iPhone is inferior in technology/versatility but excels in simplicity/bad battery. lol

Looks like I'm about to bring this thread back from the dead.
I've had my car a little over a week now, and once I FINALLY got my iPhone to connect to CarPlay it worked well for about 2 days. Now, it won't auto connect. I have to go in, delete the car from my phone and delete my phone from the car and start all over. It will connect and work well until I turn off the car, then I have to start all over. And now it won't connect period. It just says connection can't be established and to try again later. The Bluetooth function works like a charm so it's not the end of the world or anything, just annoying that it doesn't work. If anyone has had similar experiences or knows what's wrong or what I'm doing wrong I would greatly appreciate some guidance. Thanks! |

Remember your phone uses both the wifi as well as bluetooth to use carplay. Check how many devices are saved on your iphone for bluetooth. Try to clear some out that you may not use anymore. If you really need to, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This clears all network settings and saved Cache so you can connect back to wifi networks and bluetooth devices as if your phone was straight out of the box.

lol, I have a Note 10+ so I'm SOL.
But eh, I basically just have Spotify up on the infotainment screen and am happy with that. Too busy shifting gears to fiddle with Android Auto anyway. |

Frequently, on selecting CarPlay from the iDrive screen, nothing happens. I have to restart the phone for it to connect. Blame Apple?

We have 4 M2C's in our group of friends and we have come to a few conclusions about carplay and the wireless chargers:
Carplay works best on iPhone X and above. Iphone 8 is insanely buggy Wireless charging is only useful as a phone heater. Useless at charging the phone. |

dealer replaced my module since they scanned and saw errors. replaced under warranty. head tech at the dealer told me that it is quicker to replace the module than to scan the unit for codes.
