iOS 13 and CarPlay
With the release of iOS 13 just days away I'm be curious if other X7 owners experience no CarPlay connection issues as I have been enjoying while using the iOS 13 Public Beta. So if you're not currently running the beta and are experiencing connection issues using CarPlay, post your results after downloading iOS 13 when officially released by Apple.
The word is iOS 13 can be installed on iPhone 6s and later. |

Same here. I had my car updated a few weeks ago to 7 2019 39. And haven't had a single issue. (Knock on wood) I am on iOS 13.1
Also if anyone is interested they brought back automations in shortcuts app. I have it to start playing a playlist from Apple Music when CarPlay connects. This was the only thing that was sporadic. Sometimes it would start playing music sometimes it wouldn't. This ensures it will if you want that feature. Here is the automation settings [IMG][/IMG] |

If you're not in the Developer Beta you have to at least be signed up for the Public Beta program to download the Grand Master today. Should be available to everyone in about a week.

EDIT: Just read your other post where you said you upgraded to 7 2019 39. Was this something you downloaded onto a USB or did you have to go to the dealer to have them do it? I am running 3 2019 35. |

For what it’s worth, connectivity is better for me on iOS 13, but in the week I’ve had it installed on my phone there have been two occasions where it didn’t activate CarPlay upon turning on my vehicle.

I have been using IOS 13 with carplay for a while, and it works great. I have noticed one issue though. If i leave my phone on the wireless charging pad, eventually it gets very hot. When it gets too hot, it seems to disconnect from carplay. If i then take it off the pad, it will reconnect after a minute or so.

When connecting my iPhone back to the X7, normally I would only connect through CarPlay and not through the “standard“ Bluetooth connection to the iDrive system. Is that the appropriate approach? Or should I be creating a Bluetooth connection between CarPlay first and then over on the BMW iDrive side? |

Interesting... getting iOS 13 downloading for my iPhone XS Max. But my older iPhone 6 is on 12.4.1 and still says no OS update is available. I see on the wikipedia page for iOS 13, that it does not support the 5, 6, or 6 plus, so I guess you need an iPhone 7 or higher to get it.

I've just updated to iOS13 but my Shortcuts app doesn't have the Automation tab. Did Apple turn this off in the official iOS13 release? I was looking to some automation when CarPlay connects.
