Iphone Connection Issues

clemsondds · 10-03-2014, 10:53 AM

Hey everyone, I hope you can help me. I had a 2011 550i and now a 435i GC. I have had the same issue with both so I'm guessing it's a setting on my phone. The interesting thing is that it doesn't happen in my wife's MDX. Anyway, when i connect my phone via bluetooth or usb adapter, it will play like normal for about 2-4 minutes and then just randomly stop. I have to re-push the connection to whichever (ipod or bluetooth) in multimedia and it will immed start working again...then 2-4 min it will disconnect again. Any thoughts?

I would first isolate it to either Bluetooth or USB. If it's both, then it's likely your phone. If it's bluetooth, it could be a reliability issue not worked out by iOS 8 or iDrive's software.
