Bluetooth Connectivitiy

Raphael X4 · 01-05-2021, 10:30 AM

Hello,

The bluetooth on my Android phone cuts out when the phone is in any of my pockets. I use it to play music.
It only seems to work well when I place it on the wireless charging pad.
(I'm not sure if I should make a warranty claim or this is just poor design.)

Are others experiencing the same issue when using Android or Apple and the bluetooth only works properly near the radio?

How old is your car and what's your iDrive software level?

So your iDrive has 07-20 software installed.

Should work without problems.

Suggest you delete your phone bluetooth set-up from your X4 and then reinstall. My Android links immediately regardless of where my Samsung is in my X3, once I open the driver's door.
