Interesting to hear that even NBT Evo cars are doing this.

This is a huge shit show

I haven't had any issues with IOS 10 and NBT Evo. I had all the beta releases as didn't have any connectivity issues.

Another option would be to restore the phone to factory condition and set up as new and then sync all your information back on to the phone.

When was the last time any of you with issues power cycled your phones?

Im having the same issue with music playback on my iPhone 7, ios 10.0.1

I tried updating the software on www.bmw.com/update

on my f30 2014 328i, my current version was Media: MN-002.039.071 and Phone: TN-002.039.070

after updating the software all it did was add a new type that says Add-on: HN-002.255.073, media and phone version stayed the same.

Afterwards i tried music playback and it didn't fix the issue.

I want to personally thank all you beta testers out there. Let us know what you find...

I'll stick with my 6s+ for now.

I don't have this issue with Bluetooth?
My 6s plus is 10.0.1 and works just fine.
My brothers 7plus works just fine also.
2013 335i

Only issue I have is when I play music from my phone using the lightning cable it'll pause the music and I'll have to select the phone from the idrive again. Kind of annoying.

Exact same issue. Works sporadically, stops, starts working again. Very annoying.

Same problems as everyone else.

Iphone 7+ 10.0.1
MN-002.052.001
TN-002.052.001

Some more observations:
It gets into a weird state where the car thinks playback has stopped, but the song progresses on the phone like its still playing.

The screen on the phone never shuts off when it gets jammed up

Activating siri from the steering wheel also doesnt work. One time the phone showed as the microphone listening until i got out of the car.

The whole nav system will crash sometimes and restart after BT audio is jammed up. You can switch back to radio just fine but bt audio is gone until a crash. Twice it crashed when about to speak the next turn in the directions and once when i got a phone call.

Since this iOS10 issue is occurring with several versions of iDrive, it sure seems like something Apple needs to fix. Do a Google search of iOS10 Bluetooth problems. No shortage of reading material.

Besides hard power cycle try going in and force quitting all apps. Ive seen instances where some apps that can play media like instagram/facebook/youtube etc sometimes holding hostage the bluetooth audio and player interface.

Start with a virgin phone - ie reboot, and forcequit all apps.

I'm having the same issue with my iPhone 7 on my15 335i.

I had an iPhone 6s on iOS 10 with no issue and since I got the 7 Bluetooth audio has been a massive pain in the ass.

It disconnects on the second song and freezes the display.

I've tried un-pairing both, test all settings on the phone, restored iPhone 7, installed the newest update from w to the car and ios 10.01 and still it doesn't work correctly.

I called Bmw today and they said they've been getting many reports of iPhone 7 Bluetooth issues.

I can confirm that iOS 10.1 Beta does not fix this.

I tried this:

Quit all apps
Opened only Spotify
Started playing a song in a playlist
locked my phone
switched to bluetooth audio
songs played fine

UNTIL

I touched my phone, as soon as I turned the screen on, everything stoped working.

iOS 10.0.2 is out.
Lets try.

iOS 10.0.2’s release notes:

-Addresses an issue that could prevent headphone audio controls from temporarily not working
-Resolves an issue that caused Photos to quit for some users when turning on iCloud Photo Library
-Fixes an issue that prevented enabling some app extensions

Let me know.

I'm on 10.1 beta and its not fixed, and those release notes don't look promising, but I'll downgrade if that update somehow fixes it. I only upgraded out of hopes it was fixed anyway, lol.

I called BMWNA today and spoke with a "Genius" about the problems with the iPhone 7 and iOS 10.

Basically he said they are very aware of the issue and working with Apple to remedy it. He mentioned it is not only BMW having issue with the new iOS and bluetooth connectivity, but other brands as well.

He said Apple would not provide any beta test iPhone to any manufacture so they are all working to fix this. It is more a problem on Apples end rather then BMW. Which makes sense.

Hope they figure this out very soon. Otherwise I'm going to return my iPhone 7. I can not have a problematic bluetooth connection with my phone.

I upgraded from 9.3.5 to 10 and then now on 10 Beta 1 and no issues here. Infact, I get the messages sent to phone in to the car too.

Does this only effect the iPhone 7? I have the 6s and I haven't noticed any issues.

I would NEVER use BT for audio as noted in other threads, but regardless, I would suggest upgrading to 10.0.2 as it addressed a similar issue with the headphones controls. That issue was hit and mss for people as well.

As can be seen, this is hit and miss.

10.0.2 fixes are not in 10.1 Beta yet.
