I find songs that start playing on CarPlay suddenly stop and then the only way I can get anything to play again is by rebooting iDrive. Pressing play does nothing nor does skip it does load the album art etc but no sound can be heard.
I was going to try signing out of the iDrive app and see if that fixes it.

My issue seems to be occurring if I've been listening to Spotify on my phone before getting in the car. The iOS app wants to resume playing when the phone connects to Bluetooth. So carplay automatically kicks in. Once that happens the iDrive app will always kick you back to car play and no audio will output eventhough the track is playing. To fix it I just go back to FM radio. However if I want to go back to Spotify I have to do it through car play and not the built in app. Going back to the built in app repeats the issue. I don't remember this being an issue before so I wonder if a recent Spotify update is the culprit.
