Bluetooth audio

Post by Mr black » Wed May 16, 2018 2:55 pm

Hi
I connected my phone no problem and the Bluetooth audio so I could stream Spotify. Today the phone connected but not the audio is this the norm or does it usually take a while??

Thanks in advance

Have you got Bluetooth audio selected as well as the phone?  On my E71 I have to select both in the iDrive under options in the phone sub menus.

Hi
Yes connected the other day played all day and after when I got in. Today nothing even though it was showing. I will give it another go later.

Sometimes mine drops out for no obvious reason and has to be redone by selecting it off, using the radio etc, and then turning it on again.  Completely random.  On occasions it is the phone (IOS in my case) just not playing nicely.
