Restart app everytime....

Since I keep my old iphone in the center console, it is a pain to restart the connected drive app every time I start the car. Any work a rounds?

since I learned Android is not the best for these BMW apps I did the same and keep an ipod stored in the center console. After I swipe to unlock, the connected drive app connects by itself. I was gonna see if I can turn off the needing to unlock and if it would auto connect each time.... but keeping an eye here in case there is another way around it.

As long as the app is running it should connect.

Not sure about the locking

one of the drawbacks of apple, the device only does what they want it too. I cant get around the swipe to unlock yet, been looking on google.

but yes, the app runs without needing to launch it or use iDrive to start it. But its the only thing I use it for, so I dont know if OP has other apps in focus that make connected need to be started manually each time?

Well I use the iphone for music/podcast as well, so that is why teh app "goes away." You would think that the by selecting connected drive it would make the app run on the apple side.
