Sorry if this has been asked before
I have just purchased a 2012 320d sport and I'm struggling to get my iPhone to play music via usb (phone is iPhone X) I have used an original apple cable and each time it says that it is not supported I have checked for software updates and it says my vehicle isn't due any Can anyone shed any light on how to get music playing via usb and not having to use a phone cable |

Hello all, new member here. I have a new 2018 330i w/ xDrive, and I am using BimmerCode. I have had success with a few items, but I am having difficulty with the following. Any help would be much appreciated.
1.) Full text messages on iDrive screen 2.) Screen mirror to watch Netflix, etc. (I have an iPhone 8) 3.) Fog lights on automatically with DRL. Thank you all in advance. Last edited by junior8811_2018_330i; 01-26-2019 at 09:05 PM.. |

New member here.
Has there been any updates on how to play music on a '13 328i through Bluetooth on an iPhone? I can get Bluetooth audio just fine so I can make calls and such but can no longer play music wirelessly. It was fine until a few years ago when iOS 9 or 10 came out. I tried the search bar and saw that a few other people have had the issue too; however, I didn't see anything that explicitly says how to fix this. |

I had a very unusual experience in my F30 328i that I have not been able to replicate since. I do not appear to have the ability to stream music through blue tooth on my iphone, though I can use it to make calls over the speaker system.
I have a pair of Sennheiser wireless ear buds (bluetooth). I recently started my car while listening to a podcast and my phone paired with the car's audio system and started playing it through the speakers! I have never had the option to do this in the past. The truly bizarre part was my car was acting like this was a phone call, it popped up that I was calling my own phone, had the timer running, etc... It also messed up something on my iphone (xr) because after I left my car I could barely get any audio out of my speakers. I later restarted my iphone and since then have not been able stream through bluetooth. Any thoughts on what might have happened? |

Two things you can do....you can simply select the Bluetooth audio option and reestablish the connection and ability to stream music. Or you can always erase your phone from iDrive and set up again as a new phone. This will also fix the issue.

Hello, new here. We (my wife really) have just bought a nearly new F31 (may 19) with prof media. However, looking into what I can do I was surprised that I can't stream music/podcasts via Bluetooth. Are there any options to enable that?

I have been able to work around this SOMETIMES by first connecting the phone via USB and while music is playing, disconnect the USB cable. A few seconds later, the phone connects via Bluetooth |

I think the ability to stream music from a bluetooth connected device is highly dependent on the device. I'm surprised that Wolfie99's new Bimmer has a problem with what I assume is a relatively new device.
In my 2015 328d, my iPhone7+ with iOS 13.1.2 does not connect well but my iPad Mini 2 with iOS 12.4.2 connects every time. In fact, I connect it to the DC power in the trunk and leave it there when I want to use it this way. (I also put it into Airplane mode before I leave the car so that it can't be discovered) |

Buy a walkman and plug it into the aux jack.

F34 BMW 320d M Sport GT No BT Audio
Hello All,
I have search tirelessly on the net and forum to get the answer to why BMW are always tight or extras on their cars. All I want is to be able to stream my music from my android to my radio head unit. I don't like doing it through cables. Can the Idrive firmware be updated to enable the Bluetooth audio to show. All i have is the telephone, or do i simply go for a head unit with that option enabled? Some advices here looks complicated and i seen some techy companies charging a lot to do this. Or shoud i just replaced the whole unit with aftermkt MP3/Bluetooth unit ( those ones that slides out, dont really care if it covers the IDRive ugly looking screen) Many Thanks |

Pair phone, go to media. Choose external devices, choose phone name. Play music.
