Bluetooth connected no sound

[fstm5]

I've been having this issue for a long time and surprisingly it transferred over from my previous 550i to my 2015 m5

Long story short every single time I turn on the car and my phones connects, there is no volume and I have to disconnect and reconnect then it starts working every single time

Also, 90% of the time the media screen just says unknown artist

I'm using Spotify on an iPhone 13

Anyone else have this issue? It's pretty damn annoying I just never got around to fixing it

This is a long time and well known complaint with the software on 2014-2016 F-Series models. I want to say it was corrected in 2017 and later models. PITA issue for a car costing more than $100K.

I mean is there any type of fix I can do?

There hasn't been a fix other than swapping out for a newer unit/screen that has Google Play.

I have the 4x4 carplay unit but even that the audio doesn't work I have to switch my audio to the Bluetooth audio

I have the same problem with my m5 2013. It's really crazy for a car to this price.

Reviving this thread to see if anyone has any more insight on this pain in the rear end issue

Pain in the rear end will continue into 2023 and beyond.
