Bluetooth Connection Issues

Hi,

So 50% of the time my phone won't connect. Even if I try to manually tell it to connect, it says it can't connect. My phone says it's connected to the car though. Rebooting iDrive, phone, Bluetooth on/off/on makes no difference. Then next time I drive car it'll work fine. Sometimes it even says it's connected to my Apple Watch for some reason. I've never paired those.

Thoughts? (besides next firmware upgrade).

There is a running issue with Android Pie upgrade that has the same issues. Since you are using iOS, I have noticed my iOS being a bit flaky with connections since iOS 12. How long have you experienced this connection issue?

Seems like it's just been the past week or two. Haven't had a phone update in a while.
