Where to find iPhone playlists in iDrive
I'm probably the last one to figure this out, but I was getting frustrated that the only apparent way to get to my iPhone playlists was to use CarPlay, which I don't like. It turns out that if you go to Media, scroll to the iPhone, and select Search, you'll get additional options for Playlists and Apple Music.
Now, if I could figure out how to keep it recognizing my old iPhone I keep plugged into the USB without having to always plug and unplug it, I'd be happy. Anyway, hope this helps someone else looking. |

So that's where you find playlists, nice find. I switched to using CarPlay for the cleaner audio signal, and Google Maps support, but I really struggled without having access to my playlists. I may check it out again, but would rather not use Bluetooth for audio.

Seriously? That's the only way I've accessed them since day one. It's not necessarily intuitive, but it works.
