CarPlay audio resume

2023 X5 45e

Driving the car for past 5 months. I Use Apple CarPlay and Spotify for the songs. As much as I remember I don’t had to resume playing songs from the carplay spotify whenever I start the car. But recently 2-3 weeks, I am noticing that I have to play every time I start the car. Sometimes the CarPlay takes few minutes to show up on the dash to connect. Anyone experiencing this issue?

no issues with CarPlay connection. in fact, it usually connects before I even get to settle in after closing the door (iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16.4)

as for auto-play, I noticed if I’m running several in-and-out errands, it will automatically resume whatever was playing before once connected via CarPlay, but after the third or fourth errand, I have to press play on the iPhone

I'm experiencing similar, the chance it connects and resumes playing Spotify via CarPlay is 50/50 at best.

Moreover, it now seems I have to + or - the volume on the car to get it to play, almost as if it's muted until I press the button.

I've looked through all settings on both the car and in the CarPlay menu on my phone, and I can't really find anything new/different.

I give credit to BMW for being the first to bring us wireless CarPlay, but it has been fidgety in ALL 3 X5s of mine that have had it.
