Bluetooth Audio Stuttering

mikasaur · 05-05-2018, 06:07 PM

So I just bought a 2012 M3 with Nav package earlier this week. It’s been a dream come true, literally.

I have one issue though. The audio periodically stutters when using Bluetooth. Has anyone experienced this?

It seems to be pretty decent when the car isn't moving and especially good when the engine is off. It seems to be worst when accelerating or decelerating. I almost wonder if there's a loose physical connection somewhere...

I’m trying to search google/forums but so far I haven’t had much luck with a solution.

Found a solution!!

Since it got worse when I was moving I had a hunch it was a loose connection somewhere. After some research I found that the bluetooth antenna is in the driver footwell. I took a look at it and found that the connector wasn't snapped in. I pushed it all the way in and now (knock on wood) it seems to work!
