My specs:

iPhone 6
iOS 10.0.2
BMW F36 iDrive 5.0

It was paired and saids connected (on my iPhone) but selecting my iPhone 6 for bluetooth streaming in the car saids not connected.

(1) tried reboot phone... no luck
(2) tried reset network settings .... no luck
(3) remove device pairing from the car's idrive and repair.. failed to connect. Now I can't even connect/pair my phone to the car. RIP.

Update: Same car using my wife's iPhone 6S with iOS 10.0.2 pairing works and stream audio works for now. Will test couple more days to see if it stick.

Update2: Going to my iPhone settings->Bluetooth select the "i" on the car's bluetooth and select "Forget This Device". I pair again and it successfully paired. However, after the pair, instead of say "XXX's iPhone" in the car, it just say iPhone (where XXX is the iPhone user's name). Moreover, streaming still doesn't work. When select the paired iPhone as audio in the car, it says "Failed to Connect" but in my iPhone, it saids its paired.

When you choose "Reset Network Settings", your iPhone defaults back to the generic "iPhone" name.

My iphone 7 and 2015 320i not playing well together !
I can get it to connect, play music, but... it drops out after a while,say
15- 20 minutes, or if I change apps, say from Pandora to Spotify.
I've tried all the suggestions, I am an IT guy, I know most all the tricks, not happy.

Meanwhile, I've updated the ConnectedDrive and I was able to use the iPhone 7 and iOS10.0.2. However now I already had one warning message saying "NO SIGNAL" in orange in a black screen.

I've not yet tested out playing music with Pandora or Spotify. Once I have done I'll let you know.

I updated to ios10B4 and bluetooth still works. So did in ios10B2 and ios10B3.

There is ios 10.0.3, not sure if that addresses the bluetooth issue. If not, beta is the way to go.

Just spoke with Apple. Apple says they are NOT aware of any issue with BMW !
While on the phone with Apple my support rep and I went to Apple Support web site and
did a search on Bluetooth and BMW. The support rep was surprised there were so many pages of issues ! told him there were more on this site, tried to send link but they cannot get outside web sites.More people need to call Apple !

iPhone 7 or 6?

It seems to be affecting the 7 more than the 6.

They know. Support rep is an idiot.

It was fixed in iOS 10.1 B2 and has been working fine. The 10.1 public release will fix the issue.

10.0.3 was mainly, if not exclusively to fix the LTE connectivity problem (which I have).

Although I rarely use BT streaming in the car (I use USB), I haven't noticed these specific problems. But in general, the whole phone connectivity feature is really spotty. Something odd is always popping up out of nowhere and it's not always related to an OS or hardware change.

Well, the opposite for me.

I had no issues with iPhone 6 and 2016 328 until I updated to 10.1 two days ago. Now getting the phone call issue when starting the car (shows connected to a call when it is not).
Tried forget the BT device from the phone and removed the phone from the car and repairing. It fixed the issue but next day the issue is back.

That guy was talking about the 10.1 Beta, not 10.0.1, we have already established that that doesn't work.

Actually; I was referring to the public release of 10.1.

I have had music freezes on BT ever since I got my IPhone 7+. Had to connect to USB for over a month. Was pretty frustrated.

Am happy that it's FINALLY functioning.
