8 series AUX/Connected phone problem

Hellow fellow 8 series owners! I've had this problem where when I plug my phone in to play music, I try to toggle the songs through the steering wheel and heads up display and it'll constantly say "loading" or "title __"... even through the I drive system it still won't pull up all my songs! All beit I have 500+ songs but never seemed to be a problem in any of my other BMWS! told my dealer, they fixed it and it happened again the next day, does anyone else have this problem? They told me to hold the Volume button till it hard resets but that doesn't solve the issue.

Have you tried not plugging in the phone but rather just pairing it to the car through Bluetooth? That's how my iPhone connects to the 850's iDrive or CarPlay and music sharing is flawless.

Have you tried both USB ports ? I have had a mission to get my 20,000 strong lossless library into the car, originally on a iPod classic that didn’t play well at all. Anyway - whilst trying out various solutions I was getting different outcomes from the 2 USB ports, the one that worked most consistently was the one in the armrest. Well at least that worked for me anyway.

Yes I have done Bluetooth and it will give me a list of songs but say I scroll down 10 and they all just start saying Title ___!

Just a heads-up, it’s USB-C so you might need an adapter.

I have the same problem in my 2020 840xi. I can hear the songs perfectly, even select playlists with no issues, but when I want to use the scroll wheel on the steering wheel it doesn't show my songs, it just says loading...please wait. I have it connected via bluetooth directly to iDrive. No Apple CarPlay. Anyone else having the same issues, solutions???

edwarjejeega I use MP3 and have all of my music loaded onto MediaMonkey (has good links to Google/Prime) and I copy this onto a USB. Instantly connected and always available. Solved all my frustrations with previous beemers.

I've noticed now that issue happens only when I select a playlist and shuffle it. I guess there is an issue when you play the list shuffled?
