Go to your settings then your bluetooth connections. Select your phone to go into more options for that connection. Make sure both the phone and the audio boxes are checked.

If that doesn't work, disconnect, then reconnect. The early iDrive and even the 2014+ update were really buggy on the bluetooth audio connections.

Do you have music streaming? It's an extra option for bluetooth. I believe it comes with the tech package.

Might depend on your phone as well. My wife's Samsung Galaxy S5 supports full connected drive office notifications, my Sony Xperia does not.

If it's an Android, all Bluetooth they implemented isn't created equally.....

If there's navigation, it most likely can be enabled via coding.

Yes that would be called Enhanced Bluetooth. However if from dealer, they make you pay for it to be activated.

He says telephone works so I dont think its a phone compatibility issue.
