For all of those experiencing iPhone/iPod problems, it seems as though it's been well covered that it is an issue regardless of device model, but can you elaborate if the problem is isolated to BT or whether it is systemic and also occurs with the phone/pod connected with a cord?

1-Widget problem weather and news widget appear empty( Blank ) on home screen.
2-ipod must be unplugged then plugged in order for car to see it .
3- Wifi mirroring shuts down before even searches for device.
4- V12 outlet front and rear do not work only in trunk works.
i have the V8 version of x5 2019

other than these issues the suv runs smooth and great ride but these simple annoying problems are irritating .

dealer tried to fix they could not so they ordered parts which then they said there were back ordered so i have to wait

I've found that those who should know how to help - geniuses, dealers, BMWNA - don't know how to. I've had to self diagnose a few issues with Connected services. I'm always happy to help. PM me. Might save you another trip to the dealership.

It's really not that bad. My "genius" just didn't know how to make my connected svcs work upon delivery. There was a disconnect between service and my genius as another forum member using the same dealership had no problems. I had a hiccup yesterday when remote connected svcs quit working for a while. I had to do some sleuthing and rebuild profiles. Nothing that couldn't be fixed.

Those geniuses struggle, let's face it.

Can you share with me what ailed your vehicle and how you resolved it? For me, SOS and BMW Assist do not successfully communicate from the vehicle. You press the SOS button OR try to access Assist functionality from the iDrive menu, and no call is generated. It does seem that data of some kind is being communicated by the vehicle since SOS services called my personal cell to see if all was well. But voice data (phone calls) is a no go.

Tying into this, the Connected app is not communicating with the vehicle. Location services, address sending, vehicle status and updates, 3d view of surroundings, none of it work.

On another forum, I've been reading about the problems a lot of owners of the new gen Cayenne have been having with their cars with software crashes, component failures and such like and dealers not being able to fix them, and not many cars have been delivered to the UK as yet because of the long production halts at the Porsche factories.

I'll be waiting to well into the 2nd full production year before I'll contemplate a G05 order, given that there won't be a diesel Cayenne option anymore.

Odd.

Locked the car. Unlocked the car. Checked the steering wheel adjuster. It works again. but
Hammer, did this ever pop back up? Mine just did the same thing, locked and unlocked and no adjustment yet. Thankfully it's stuck in my wife's setting but curious if yours was a one time problem or if I should get it checked out assuming it comes back online tomorrow. Thx

For your screen mirroring to work, you must first connect to your cars WiFi hotspot.

Does anyone have a "Playlist" option in iDrive? I only see Artists, Albums, and Tracks. I can't pick a playlist on my iPhone X (iOS 12.1). If I pick it from the phone it plays, and next track works, but I get mixed behavior otherwise.

Bluetooth, FYI.

Hold the volume button down for 30 sec or until the idrive screen restarts.

So far for us, this has been a 1-time issue that seemed to resolve itself with the lock-unlock routine. Good luck to you. (Sry for delayed response; just got back to this thread.)

Sorry to hear about your issues. What is your build date?

Tech aside, my biggest gripe is some of the materials feel kind of cheap-o. The doors on the center arm rest and glove box are just awful. My center arm rest actually flexes when you lean on it. Really lame.
Can you give more details. I am getting ready to order but this thread gets me worried they pushed ahead before things were ready.
I suspect by the time you take delivery they will have 95% of the bugs worked out. It's an advanced, splendid drive, get yourself one.

Try to understand that not everyone is having the same problems as you are. We love ours!

Thanks BMW salesperson. Hope you hit your numbers....Sorry my truth makes it harder for you.
I do anesthesia, that means I put people to sleep for surgery. Getting on here acting like a disgruntled child won't make your situation better. ALL cars have issues these days due to all of the electronics in them. They're nothing like cars 20 years ago. Even a Honda the Holy grail of reliability is plagued with electrical issues. This is my wife's 4th X5 since 2010 and she loves this one the best and I have to agree with her. Spend less time complaining online and more time on the phone with BMW NA so you can get your problems fixed or replaced.
