Thanks, but its not as simple as that. I watched countless YouTube video. MY system doesn't have the option to enable Bluetooth audio only telephone. I can only use the USB cable to stream music or AUX.

Why it seems Apple Music has better support for BT than Spotify? can search fully playlists per ex.

The scroll and "next" function on the steering wheel that use to skip songs sometimes stop working, had to change to radio and back to Bluetooth, anyone know why?

Perhaps you need enhanced BT coded?

My 2012 F30 telephone bluetooth has been perfect until I upgraded from iPhone 12 to iPhone 13. Now it keeps dropping off bluetooth and reconnecting. Sometimes it stays disconnected and won't reconnect unless I turn the car off and on, or remove device and re add. I have the latest bluetooth software version. Any tricks?

It's a known issue with iPhone 13's. What I usually do is toggle off the BT connection, when I have a drop out, then turn it back on and pair the phone through the car (not the phone). This usually works. The other day, however, I had to completely re-sync the phone by deleting my car and reestablishing the connection.
