x7 CarPlay stopped connection

hujames1976 · 02-12-2023, 02:02 PM

I recently bought a certified 2021 x7 40i. The CarPlay was working appropriately with iPhones of both me and my wife. But today I found it wont connect carplay anymore for both phones, only iDrive connection works. I tried delete device and set up again but it doesn’t work. I noticed in the Mobile Device setting I am able to activate Bluetooth, but can not activate Wi-Fi of my car which I could before. Does anyone know what is the the issue? Thank you very much for reading and advice.

Reboot the iDrive. Push the volume button in for like 30 seconds and the iDrive will reboot. That usually solves problems like this.

You are very welcome. Anything else that acts up or after any future firmware updates should get a iDrive reboot. It’s the first step we all go to.
