I even had some issues where the USB would stop working, then it would kill Bluetooth. It took about 3-4 restarts of both iPhone XR and the car for the BT to start working again. So for now, I'm just sticking with BT. Anyone else have any luck resolving this issue? It doesn't look like the UPD05081 resolved anything for those who installed it.

Would love to get thoughts on this... this seriously drives me crazy paying for a service that only has about 10% of functionality. I'll be at BMW Welt in Munich Sunday, so maybe I can get some help there. I'll post if I get any good info.
I'm having the same problem and its maddening. I go for days without a problem whatsoever with the phone streaming and charging over usb and then I get constant disconnects. Changing cables does nothing. Recently the phone has gotten into a state where BMW thinks its streaming music but the music is actually only coming out of the speakers of the phone.
Most of the time it will just stop streaming and ill get a warning message on my phone that only one accessory may be used at a time (or something to that effect)
Often it will reconnect on its own. If the disconnects happen enough then the head unit will stop connecting to the phone completely until the car is restarted.
I don't know whether its apple or BMW but I don't know why it can't be fixed.
It seems tied to streaming over USB as I don't seem to have the same problems if the phone is connected solely via Bluetooth.

Me too. My idrive screen goes dark and goes into restart while I'm driving, when it comes back all works fine. I was afraid it might be battery problem until i found this post.
Now after updating with UPD05081, it only changed the TN to 003. Hopefully this amy fix the problem with bluetooth.

For you 2014 guys, did 5081 show up for you on BMW's site?
When I input my VIN number I only get 5074. 5081 doesnt show up.

Over the past couple days, yes...even though I already installed it a months ago.

Same here. I just checked and now the website is suggesting me UPD5081 that I installed a few months ago. Last time I manually checked might have been 2 weeks ago and it would keep telling me no updates are available since I bought this car.

Hopefully BMW is working on fixing their update pipeline.

Hmm I'll have to try it again in the next week or so.
Otherwise, I'll just install 5081 since it was linked on here.

I tried updating again hoping it would kick it in the ass and fix my connected drive issues, but it wouldn't install as it said the same version was already installed.

Some good news !
Updated both my 3er and x5, its been 4 days now and 3er issues are gone. I had to revert to default SW as it won't let me update due to SW appears to be current update but it's not.

how do I undo the UDP05081?

HUD tracks and steering wheel next song problems with Pixel 3. Maybe its the phone issue. Thinking about going to Samsung s20.

Thanks.

I have just updated to UPD05081, expecting this to fix connectivity issues with my Motorola g7; the phone pairs (takes a while) but never actually connects. Cleared phone Bluetooth cache, cleared iDrive data, etc but still no go.

However, my iPhone X connects perfectly, streams perfectly and has no issues whatsoever and is a few years older than the Moto.

I need both connected simultaneously for calls (and the iPhone for music streaming). Both phones worked perfectly in my E70 X5.

Any thoughts?

There is an order to the upgrade releases. You may need to install those prerequisites first. Also, double-check if your .bin files are expanded. Then check the expanded files for further compressed files; there maybe many layers of compressed .bin or .tar files. Those files are compressed, and older BMW unit does not read it compressed. Apps like 7-zip etc. can decompress them; leave them on your usb stick in the same folder structure once decompressed.
