iPhone 6s, USB and Connected Drive not working
I have a 2012 328i convertible and recently upgraded my phone from a 5 to a 6s. The bluetooth connected just fine with tunes and phone, but when I try to connect via USB and the Connected Drive app, the app connects for about 2 seconds then disconnects. It does this for 2 or 3 tries then gives up and doesn't connect. I am using iOS 9.1 and have upgraded the car's software to the latest version. Took it to the dealer and they just scratched their heads. Anyone come up with a solution for this?

Genuine Apple cable? That's always the first thing to check. You have CIC I'm guessing, but even with NBT, sometimes it just loses its mind and devices can't sync via USB. This is triggered after disconnecting USB devices (i.e. iPod, HDD or iPhone 6) that have been connected and working. It connects and will play for a couple seconds then poof, can't see the device. Then it'll show up again but get lost after 2 seconds of playing. Eventually it will sync up and work, staying rock solid until the next time I disconnect the device. It's weird. IDrive is not very robust when syncing/enumerating the USB ports with a "new" device.
Make sure you have an Apple cable since that often is the cause. Then just leave the phone connected for an extended period see if it eventually connects. |

Like a day. A couple times when this happened in the morning and I just said " Screw it...I'll mess with this after work". When I tried later on, it just worked for some mysterious reason.

Hmmm... Don't know if I can leave my phone plugged into the car for a whole day. Maybe overnight. Thanks.

Oh, pretty sure nothing happens when the car is off. This was my iPod and HDD...both stay in the car all the time. When I said a whole day, that was drives to and from work, out to lunch etc.
