Apple’s iOS 8.1 update arrived but has failed to fix every single Bluetooth issue.

Bluetooth problems have given iPhone and iPad users headaches for years. And while iOS 8.1 appears to have alleviated some of the major headaches, it hasn’t eradicated them all.

iPhone-5

There doesn’t appear to be a cure all fix but we’ve heard about a few possible fixes that iOS 8.1 users will want to try. iOS users have singled out “Reset All Settings” as a solid fix. It hasn’t worked for everyone but there are a ton of people that are claiming success after trying it on their iPhone. It should work for Apple’s iPad as well.

To do this, open up the device and head to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. This is going to take a bit of time and users will lose all saved settings but the pay off is that it seems to be fixing Bluetooth issues for many people. It’s certainly worth a try if Bluetooth keeps acting up after Apple’s iOS 8.1 upgrade.

I've found that if I browse songs on the phone itself and click play on the phone then it works but it's annoying not being able to control everything via iDrive. I'll try the hard reboot and see if that fixes the problem.

I'm have been having this same issue with the USB connectivity and iDrive control. Happening with Apple IOS 8 and 9. Note sure if it worked prior to IOS8. Car is a 320d MY11. I'm using the official BMW Y cable.

My BMW repair shop has checked the entertainment system software and confirmed that there are no updates. They had no answers for me.

Has anyone seen an acknowledgement by either vendor of this issue and a commitment to address? Seems many people have this problem with systems that only support audio via USB (ie no bluetooth streaming in the MY11 model).

This is a USB issue. I'm not talking about or using bluetooth streaming audio.

Thanks for any advice on this.
