Bluetooth issues since IOS13 update?

Is anyone having issues with Bluetooth since ios13 update?

Contacts do not show properly. Can not switch songs using HUD. Cannot click a song using the round big button in the middle. Forgot how to call it.

Only the arrows on the center console allow me to switch songs.

I don’t have any issues except Siri is not listening sometimes - she reacts to the button on the steering wheel, but immediately “hangs up”.

I hate the update for other reasons; however, no Bluetooth issues. Not the best release from Apple considering all the subsequent revisions to the update.

I had the same issues, there was a thread in Apple that was describing the same issue. I had to sign up for their beta program to get 13.2. Issues were fixed after that update. I'm now on beta 13.3 and still working properly.

Check if the automatic « automobile mode » of the iPhone is not activated. Happened to me during the last update.
Checked it out and all was back to normal

Thanks, but it's not. And sometimes Siri works, sometimes - doesn't

Same here. After the ipdate every day is a different experience. Works fine on Monday. Tuesday it won’t connect. Then after a day it connects but no Apple Car play. Then back to not working at all. I erased the phone from the car. Started over. This works for about a week.

Same on my end. Text messages show up as phone numbers not the contacts name. Never know who's texting me unless I recognize the number. However, when I search contacts in idrive, names are showing up. Figured it had to do with the iOS update. Any solutions?

I'm experiencing the same but thought it was when I went from an iPhone X to 11 Pro. It worked fine in the Loaner X3 I had a few weeks ago. I thought it was more of me having the iDrive NBT version. Now when I ask Siri something I have to say it all in one breath for it do what I ask.

My set up and model identical. I had the exact same “symptoms” as they called it. Said it was the iPhone. 6 at the time. Bought new 10 and it did the same thing. BMW kept blaming Apple and said next update will fix issues. Never did until 13.1 update.
It did and now all works perfect. IDK....I would ask for a complete system reset which they did for me twice but before 13.1 update.

I think he means the Do Not Disturb while driving mode when your iPhone connects to the cars Bluetooth. I have mine set to manually since I got tired of just always tapping I'm not driving to turn it off. I'm going to try going back to Automatic or when connected to Car Bluetooth to see if that fixes it.

What pisses me off that Apple disabled facetime video call while connected to a carplay. I can see another party, while the other party cannot see me. It was very important to me to show via facetime where i am and i cannot do it now.

I was experiencing the same issue at the time of the update. However when I took in car for my regular oil change they updated the system to the latest BMW software and it fixed all the issues.
I have 2016 X5

i have a 2016 X5, iOS 13.2.3, still not getting numbers with texts. I just did an oil change last week, my last warranty change. They didn't mention anything about updating the software. are software updates also part of the warranty or if I take it back will they now charge me to do it?

you can also update it yourself with a USB key.

13.3 is out now so if you're still having issues might be worth trying the new update to see if that helps.

I just left the dealer. Service manager blamed the iPhone. Tech said it is BMW not able to keep up with all the changes Apple is doing. They are a month or so behind. The tech did a factory reset on the I drive system and this did not help. Will not connect to Xar play. Only blue tooth. And now I have to go thru and re set everything. I had the stereo tuned perfect. Now it sounds like a bag of mufflers. And tips on the sound system and some settings? I wish I stored it. But there is no update from the dealer. They also said to put my BIN on some website?? To see it there is an update. So Zero help.
