toddwalton - I use only AA and can speak only for it. But my car automatically starts AA if it was ON while switching off the car. Actually there is a setting in AA which controls that behaviour. It provides 3 options: 1) Always 2) If used on last journey 3) Default(as set by car). If CP has similar settings, can it be that some update messed these up for you?

Mine has been stuck since February 15th. Just this morning I had a notification from the BMW app stating that the update is about to expire.

Wow! I've been having this issue for a while and your suggestion fixed it! I'm not sure what changed but glad there's a way around it. Thanks!

Mine is coded and not looking forward to loosing it if I took it to BMW. Seems that almost every OTA my car receives the download doesn't work like it should.

For me, I am not sure what to do now. The car won't let me update the software.

Mine not sure either. Before I use to have one of techs update the car when I was working for the locate BMW dealer.

1. My car NEVER starts up in CarPlay even though I turned the car off with CarPlay active. Unlike my past BMW's that remembered the last state, every single time I start the engine, I have to tap the CarPlay button on the display to get it active again.

2. When in CarPlay, when I put the car into Reverse gear (backup camera comes on) and then back into Drive to drive off (backup camera goes away) the display shows the iDrive home screen and doesn't go back to CarPlay even though I was just in it 5 seconds earlier. I have to tap the button again to get CarPlay back up again.

These are the behaviors with the July '23 firmware that I am currently running that I am hoping the new April '24 firmware corrects and am hoping someone who used to have my problem can confirm it is solved now. Thanks.

Just in case others have the "when I restart the car or shift from the reverse camera back to drive the display goes back to the BMW home screen and not CarPlay" issue, the new firmware solves this.
