Was having issues with Carplay refusing to connect since I updated to iOS Beta before this recent 17.5 or whatever came out. Simple solution was to ensure the car’s wifi “direct-bmw-….” is set to auto join. This immediately fixed my connection issue.

Yes, I have this issue as well. It’s annoying. To me, this is so basic, I can’t figure out why BMW can’t fix this. Every time it happens, which is like twice a day, I have to disconnect CarPlay, and then connect again. Every couple of weeks I have to delete the phone profile and then reestablish new connection. If you have a fix for this, I would really love to know. |

There’s radio or electrical equipment around those areas that’s causing interference with Bluetooth.

Not strictly the same as others on this thread but here is something I have observed...
I have my phone connected to Android Auto but still listen to music through the cars built in Spotify app. However occasionally out of nowhere the cars Spotify app will 'stop' and Android auto will kick in but keep the music paused. I have noticed this happens in the exact same locations each time so my suspicion is that the car is losing its cellular signal and falling back to Android auto. Perhaps a similar thing is happening here with Carplay, either the phone or the car is losing cellular signal and its interrupting the carplay session in some way? |

Android Auto here, but when I took my car to the dealer, I thought it was odd that my Android Auto immediately disconnected when entering the parking lot, and refused to work. I asked the service advisor if anyone else noticed that, and she said it's the overhead power lines. When customers take new delivery of their BMW, they need to take the car to a different parking lot to set up their phone/AA/Car Play. I guess electrical interference can play a significant factor in connectivity.
I can't speak to out in the middle of corn fields, but maybe that's an issue with cell signal. After how many years since the inception of Bluetooth and WiFi, you'd think it would just work better and more consistently by now. |
