I searched and could not find anything about this other than past mentions that updates seem to have resolved. So I have a 2017 M240i that I recently purchased that has the Wi-Fi option on it. when looking through the Connected Drive menu I saw it listed CarPlay as an option to purchase for $80/yr so I purchased the subscription. I have a 7 that is on the latest iOS firmware 12.3.1.
So I can connect my phone and most of the time it will pull up CarPlay when I start the car (sometimes it will never connect). After a few minutes it will start to drop out the audio signal, whether streaming music or talking on the phone. Sometimes it will completely disconnect and then reconnect. It's basically useless so I have stopped using it. I mentioned this to the BMW tech expert and they told me it was a know issue and BMW hoped to have it resolved by the end of the year via an over the air update. So is everyone else having this problem too or it just me?
