If you experience any type of connectivity issue with your phone and your BMW, first try to resolve it by powering your personal device off, then back on. If needed, take steps to re-establish a Bluetooth or Apple CarPlay, or Android Auto connection. Sometimes, after a phone update, it is important to remove, and then re-pair your device. To remove a device from the existing list, just tap the device and then scroll until you see “remove device.”
To completely reset the connection:
- Remove the vehicle from your phone.
- Before re-pairing your phone, ensure that Bluetooth is enabled.
- Tap the menu icon, then mobile devices, then connect new device.
- You can connect by selecting your phone on the display or selecting your BMW on your phone.

- Once connected, you can allow contacts and favorites to sync.
- Then choose to simply use Bluetooth, or Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
