Using iPhone 12 with 2013 x1

aloyouis · 07-17-2021, 06:15 PM

Hi folks,

I have 2013 x1 that is loaded with Nav. I am connecting my iPhone to the car via the usb under the radio. 75% of time it works just fine. 25% of the time it cuts out and I need to unplug the usb cable and re-plug it in OR the system cuts off and completely re-boots itself all the way to the screen going off and the BMW logo coming back on.

Does anyone have any advice on how to make this work more constantly? When it works it is great. I ue the iPhone for Apple Music and for Sat radio.

Anything I can try would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I found that it only works reliable when you make sure that the iPhone is unlocked.
If you connect it while it is locked or if it auto locks while not fully connected you will have issues.

I am using a iPhone 11 Pro on a fully loaded 2015 X1 and connect the phone though the USB jack in the center console.

Thanks for the response. I will make sure it is fully unlocked the next few times I drive the X1 and see if that fixes the issue.

If that is all it takes that will be awesome.
