If you do not have a light in the MOST fiber flowing towards the AMP, the problem is upstream. |

The replacement should work with 4G where your original would have dies next year (unless you have a 2013 with 2G that doesn't operate now). |

bluetooth failure F30
Just upgraded to a new iPhone with the new ios 14 and both my bluetooth and usb cable stopped working; tried lots of thing i.e. updating the iDrive software, reboot, changing the cable, etc none actually worked.
Lastly, decided to delete the BMW connect app on my phone and everything started working. I would still recommend updating your iDrive software if there is one available at https://www.bmw.com/en/footer/software-updates.html for you VIN. I have a 2015 328i Lux North America |

So I found a solution that worked for me 100%. Been struggling with it for years and finally it works every single time as it should. It was working fine on my Samsung S7, but when I got a Pixel 4a 5G it would sometimes connect, but if it did, it lasted for about 2 songs before it totally glitched and sometimes even rebooted the iDrive. Made an account just so I could share this as it was driving me crazy and I have to have things perfect...
It would appear that BMW uses some registers in the bluetooth code that were previously unused by the bluetooth AVRCP version that was out when the BMWs were made. As more recent versions of the AVRCP were released, it clashed with some of the coding in the BMW, toggling all kinds of wrong 0's and 1's, and causing havoc with the bluetooth when doing something as simple as connecting to the car. My solution (will vary by phone, may not be possible with iPhone), is to revert the AVRCP version back to at least 1.3 (they are up to 1.6 now). for Pixel: -Enable developer mode by tapping the 'About phone' 7 times -Open 'Developer Options' -Scroll down to 'Bluetooth AVRCP version' and change to 1.3 Simple as that, if you're having issues like I was, stop talking to BMW or the phone manufacturer because they have no idea what they are talking about and will never address the issue because it would mean remapping all the bluetooth coding which would probably brick a lot of other devices out there. Created an account today because I felt I needed to share the info with others that were having these problems, most forums have closed the topics relating to this so I cannot add this. Hope it helps you all. |

Hi, I have exactly the same issue with my iDrive. The Bluetooth and navigation got stuck in loading but never load and the usp is disabled so I can’t update the software. I know this post is for a while ago. Did you guys find a solution to this issue?

This seemed to work for me! I have had zero disconnects since I made this change! One thing to note, I had to restart the phone before the change was obvious. |

Thanks a lot for your response. Did you disconnect the battery before replacing the combox or just unplugged the old one and plugged in the new one?

The combox I had the telematics unit was just fried some how. The telephone wouldn't work, Bluetooth wouldn't work, radio and NAV was fine. Anytime I went to Bluetooth or phone menu it just said please wait and kept spinning. I just bought the same combox made sure the part number was the same and made sure in the picture it had all the same plugs and just threw it in. I went like two years searching too fix that stupid problem and was so relieved when I fixed it. I drive a lot and needed the Bluetooth for calls, hope your able to figure it out. Give it a try!

I bought a combox with similar part number from ebay and replaced the existing one but it didn’t solve any of the problems so I ended up putting the oem one back. I have scheduled an appointment to take the car to bmw dealership this Wednesday. I’ll keep you posted if the problem is fixed.

Hello all,
So I took the car to dealership and they are telling me that the Bluetooth and navigation and usb are disabled because of a bmw firmware update and bmw has stopped giving those services to certain 2013 to 2016 bmw F25,F26,F30 etc… models. I know bmw has stopped giving connected drive services to the cars with 3g combox but it doesn’t make any sense for bmw to disable the Bluetooth and usb module inside the car without my authorization! Do you guys have any idea what can be done here? Have you seen anyone else havin similar issue? |
