Bluetooth Audio Intermittent connection issue

Just a 3 · 06-07-2021, 11:18 AM

Folks, have a 2011 e90 335i that is going pretty strong so far. Of late, I've had a bluetooth connection issue - only for bluetooth audio. Any ideas?

Car has iDrive/nav. Connects blue tooth to my phone every time, but sometimes does not connect bluetooth audio - even though the screen shows bluetooth audio connected, nothing plays from my device. If I re-start the car, it then connects. Puzzled.
TIA

Have you tried a different phone/tablet. It might be a software mismatch from the device itself.

Yes, tried that. Same issue. I did find a resolution- connect to Aux, then back to Media and audio works.

Thanks

I turn off/on bluetooth on phone then reconnect in I-drive. Your way sounds easier and i will give it a try. But you are not alone.
