iTunes not working with idrive

Anyone having issues with their iPhones playing music to the car? I have iPhone 6s 10.2 firmware. Ever since I updated to 10.2 the controls on the steering wheel and center counsel idrive won't play the next songs or play them at all. I have to go back to my phone and cycle through the music from there.
I refreshed the BT and whipped it out and still didn't work.
Any idea?

Same exact problem here - also a 6s. 2016 340i with supposedly the latest software.

This is frustrating because literally every single other car we own or I have rented in the last 2 years works seamlessly both with Bluetooth or USB - my iPhone and 340i don't play at all

Ya it's Apple fault with their firm ware. My wife today tried to connect and same issue. I'm sure they will come with a fix. Just takes few weeks..
How u like your car? Did you get the mppsk?
I heard that thing and it's so much better than my MPE with bms stage 1.

I mean - our family car (Hyundai Santa Fe) never has any problems - not sure why an iOS update throws off BMW.

Love the 340. Love it. No MPPSK yet - still debating MPPSK vs Dinan vs JB4. Love the manual transmission - such an easy clutch/shifter. Engine is awesome.

This iOS Bluetooth issue is probably my biggest complaint these days. Just ridiculous - no excuse for BMW to have problems like this when no other carmaker seems to.

About a week without driving my car it finally started to work agin. No new update from iOS. Maybe it just need to reconfigure or iOS just sent out a tiny update we didn't know about

CIC here I have no grave issues, but if you want the playlist to show on the HUD, or the screen, you either need to keep Apple Music open with the playlist or it wont show. It is weird. On way to eliminate that is to load the playlist again, or simply keep apple music open all the time. This works with the new iDrive when I get loaners.

I find that untrue.
If you mean by having the app running in the background of my phone and phone off(screen off) then ya.
By this I can pull up any playlist in my iTunes and control it all through the idrive
