OH MY GOD Thank you! I was just about to book an appointment at BMW (I have to take a ferry and spend a whole day in the city) until I found this. I cannot thank you enough for your post. You are a life saver!
Adding my thanks and kudos. I was pulling my hair out. The hard reset of iDrive finally allowed me to reconnect. WHY CAN’T BMW FIX THIS PROBLEM?!? In the meantime, thank YOU for helping us all!!
Thanks Bodey! Means a lot :) It’s crazy how CarPlay can be a little finicky at times esp when there is a new apple update, glad you were able to get it fixed!
Thank you! I erased my phone from the car and I deleted the car from Bluetooth. Doing the hard reset with the car volume button worked. I was about to rip my hair out before your video 😅
The hard reset with the volume button solved the problem. Thank you so much for the help! Can't tell you how much frustration you just saved me. I couldn't find the solution anywhere else.
I received a message on my G20 330i facelift today that said, "Not possible to connect to this device. Bluetooth version no longer compatible." Thankfully, your second suggestion worked perfectly, and the issue is now resolved. I really appreciate your help-you're fantastic!
After being without Carplay for 4 days and even getting a speeding ticket because I didn't have Waze on, this worked for me!!! Thank you!!!!! I did the hard reset and that's what worked for me, in case anybody is having the same issue.
Glad it worked. I always have waze on too, cool trick if you didn't know. You can go into the shortcuts app in the iphone and once youre in there you can go into automations and have things set up so that when carplay connects, waze will open and be ready to go every time you get into the car.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! This was such an easy fix . For the past few days I’d tried everything I could think of and nothing worked. It just randomly stopped. The second trick with holding down the volume worked for me. 😊
I believe it was the hard reset that fixed problem. ( carplay connects and works in backround [found out from screenshot] but wont open on screen to see navigation etc. ) I also reset phone settings before.
I’ve spent the last week forgetting and connecting my phone to try get car play working… I wish I seen this video sooner as it’s finally working! Thank you 🙏
You absolute legend! Thank you for this video! Mine stopped working out the blue and no matter what i tried and even tried a spare phone it wouldnt work! Following this i have it all working now, thank you 🙌🏽
Bro, you saved the day! My Apple CarPlay was connected, but I could not get the BMW screen to show the iPhone screen. Holding down the volume button for 30 seconds did the trick! Thank you so much!
I was really frustrated about this, trying other suggested solutions with no success for the last 3 days until I saw this and tried it this morning. Success!! I appreciate your assistance.
THE HARD RESET WORKED FOR ME! Thank you i legit was loosing my mind wondering why it wouldn’t connect! Deleted the phone & the car so many times and it didn’t help.
Amazing mate. The volume reset worked. Thank you! Was about to take it back to BMW. I had done everything apart from the volume reset. That’s done the trick.
Bro, you are a gangster! So awesome this is never happened to my F90 I was super tripped out. I just tuned it to stage two I thought something seriously was wrong holding down that power button did the trick. I didn’t even know that was a thing thank you so much. Thumbs up on this video and a new follower here.
Thank you so much! I had to drive back home yesterday holding my phone as the Bluetooth got locked out of nowhere and lost connections. BMW support page has thousands of words and no freaking clue how to solve this.
Thanks…the car did an update and said my Bluetooth is no longer compatible to connect to anything. I was going to call BMW and give them a piece of my mind, but this video was a perfect fix. Thank you again.
Thank you this really helped. For me it seemed like the problem was I was connected via VPN - once I disconnected that & followed your instructions it worked. Thanks.
Very helpful. The hard reset on the car fixed the issue. Prior to this I noticed WiFi was unchecked on the car and checking the box was not an option. After the hard reset WiFi was re-enabled.
My issue is with any CarPlay navigation like Waze or Apple Maps. Every 3 or so startups , it’s like it can’t find my location and navigation is impossible. Any ticks for this?
@@BeamerView😢😢 same issue , BMW x6 lastone November 2023 . CarPlay works, whatsup , apple music … except navigation in Waze or google maps … the maps appear on opposite side, car can’t located me so navigation is impossible 😢😢
This has been driving me crazy on my 22 M4 xDrive. I’ll do this in the morning. CarPlay just won’t connect. Everything else works. I can make a call, music from my phone works, just not the damn CarPlay and I have actually used this hard reset of the volume button, before, and forgot all about it. So, this video gave me the “oh, yeah” moment. Thanks for the reminder.
Glad it worked! Yes sometimes depending on phone updates it can mess up the connection time to time. The hard reset fixes a lot of the similar bugs and even if the Idrive screen was frozen, etc.
I did the BMW software upgrade last week and CarPlay disappeared. Doing the iDrive reset by holding the volume button down for 30 seconds restored it. Thanks!!
Thanks! My CarPlay was connected but the CarPlay screen wouldn't come up. I wasn't aware of the BMW hard reset. It worked to fix the problem on my 2019 X5. The issue arose about the time I got the iOS 15.6 update.
Of course Paul, it is an extremely useful trick to know about for BMWs. Glad it helped you, reach out to me if I could ever help you answer questions =)
@@BeamerView I got the following message before during pairing: iPhone is not compatible with Apple Carplay. Establish a Bluetooth connection to use the following: Telephone, Bluetooth Audio. OK , Cancel... Other error message i got too was: Unsuccessful Pairing.
Thanks a lot rebooting IDrive system worked. The only thing to reboot Idrive system I had to start the car and only then it did it. Not starting the car it would quickly shut off
Thanks Mate! Just got myself a 2020 Bimma and I was contemplating contacting the Service Department. For some reason, my WIFI connection would not enable and therefore the Appleplay would not activate. After a "HARD" reset (by holding down the volume button) the screen shut off and the system reset. WIFI was then enabled and I could connect with Apple Play.
This worked I swear to god I went into this video with no hopes because I’ve tried everything it absolutely worked I also wasn’t able to remove my phone from my car because it’s the only phone connected to it but it didn’t matter as long as you reset your phone after and forget device from your Bluetooth settings in phone it will reset and start working
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! I've literally just spent hours trying to figure this out and have done EVERYTHING possible and multiple times, and not a damn thing worked until I held the radio power button and reset the screen. As soon as it turned back on, apple carplay connected without any issues. I was just about to burn this damn car😅
after my bmw most recent update apple carplay is no where to be seen. not on the car setting. no after these instructions. i tried to speak to the car and it said i dont have that feature meanwhile i have had it for the past year. any ideas on what to do??
Hey Sydney, I wouldn't worry too much. There has been a few complaints about that. Ever since the update people have been getting the same issue. Couple things to try, make sure your phone is up to date as well and follow the steps in the video if you havent already. I would assume BMW will fix the issue asap and it will be done remotely but we'll have to be patient with it.
1:14 CarPlay work except navigation , map is opposite than reality ??? Any idea for this issue , I search every where no solution no idea how can I make Waze , google maps works normally 😮😮😢😢😢
Didn't quite understand the question? Are you trying to make the map arrow face forward? If so, you can press the compass button on the BMW Maps and that should change the direction of travel on that map.
OH MY GOD Thank you! I was just about to book an appointment at BMW (I have to take a ferry and spend a whole day in the city) until I found this. I cannot thank you enough for your post. You are a life saver!
Glad I could help and happy to hear it saved you a trip! :)
Adding my thanks and kudos. I was pulling my hair out. The hard reset of iDrive finally allowed me to reconnect. WHY CAN’T BMW FIX THIS PROBLEM?!? In the meantime, thank YOU for helping us all!!
Glad I could help! Yes its a very common issue with a lot of headache, the restart should be pointed out more often!
Man!!!! You saved the day, the reset for the iDrive was what I was missing. Life saver honestly!!!! Thank you.
Glad it worked!!
Thanks! Genius!! Works!! Weeks went by and no carplay!! I’m the fam hero for a day because of YOU and RUclips!!
And I just subscribed to your channel!!
Thanks Bodey! Means a lot :)
It’s crazy how CarPlay can be a little finicky at times esp when there is a new apple update, glad you were able to get it fixed!
Spent a whole week to solve this until I watch this video to press volume button and reset whole settings. That works for me, thanks man!
Sometimes the simplest things are the ones we overlook!
Thank you! I erased my phone from the car and I deleted the car from Bluetooth. Doing the hard reset with the car volume button worked. I was about to rip my hair out before your video 😅
Glad I could help, Reach out if you ever have any questions!
1,000,000 thank you’s!!!! Ever since I got my 2024 BMW I’ve been having issues with the car play 🙄 no other car ; just this one ! Thank you so much
Thanks for watching! Glad it helped you, yes it happens quite often but that button does the trick most of the time.
The hard reset with the volume button solved the problem. Thank you so much for the help! Can't tell you how much frustration you just saved me. I couldn't find the solution anywhere else.

Awesome, that is usually what I do first too while im driving.
Hard reset was the only thing that worked. Thank you so much! Liked and subscribed.
Glad it worked!
Thank you this really helped. For me it seemed like the problem was I was connected via VPN - once I disconnected that & followed your instructions it worked. Thanks.
Glad it helped. Yes VPN can also cause issues with it.
Very helpful. The hard reset on the car fixed the issue. Prior to this I noticed WiFi was unchecked on the car and checking the box was not an option. After the hard reset WiFi was re-enabled.
Thanks for sharing, glad to hear it's working now!

My issue is with any CarPlay navigation like Waze or Apple Maps. Every 3 or so startups , it’s like it can’t find my location and navigation is impossible. Any ticks for this?
Check to make sure your software is up to date. Hard reboot helps, update apps and services helps, could also be phone related too.

Hey Sydney, I wouldn't worry too much. There has been a few complaints about that. Ever since the update people have been getting the same issue. Couple things to try, make sure your phone is up to date as well and follow the steps in the video if you havent already.
I would assume BMW will fix the issue asap and it will be done remotely but we'll have to be patient with it.
1:14 CarPlay work except navigation , map is opposite than reality ??? Any idea for this issue , I search every where no solution no idea how can I make Waze , google maps works normally 😮😮😢😢😢
Didn't quite understand the question? Are you trying to make the map arrow face forward? If so, you can press the compass button on the BMW Maps and that should change the direction of travel on that map.
Brilliant - reset worked. Much appreciated 👏
Glad it helped!
