Incoming calls
So I've decided to disable and switch off Carplay. It's a nice gimmick and handy for WhatsApp messages but I prefer the BMW maps and Spotify integration (which is excellent by the way). Carplay is just too unstable.
My problem now is that incoming calls play the dialtone on the handset and not via the dash/speakers. Consequently I'm missing calls. When I do notice the handset flashing, I can answer the call on the steering wheel and the voices do come via the speakers/mic. It's just the ringtone that wont. Any ideas? I have tried every combination. I suspect the issue is on the iPhone rather than in the iDrive but I've tried deleting connections and re-pairing etc. but to no avail. Starting to irritate me now! regards Neil |

Strange, I also prefer everything about the iDrive rather Android Auto in my case and I also don't get any ringtone in the car, I've just noticed them pop up on screen. I don't get many calls so it's not something I've looked into to be honest.
Surely it must be a simple setting somewhere.

I have the same issue with my phone and iDrive. The incoming call comes up on the Rev counter but does not mute my music/radio/Spotify. I did notice that using the guest profile my phone still connects but I get the call coming up on the iDrive and mutes my audio.
I've been through all the settings but cannot work it out! Would love to find the answer in this thread. |

Out of interest do any of you have this working? Incoming calls lighting up the dash and ringing through the speakers / interrupting your music?? Reluctantly may have to switch CarPlay back on |

Same here, but I'm using my personal profile.
I used to have the same issue with a different software version, but with the current one and after deactivating that option, as in the screenshot above, I've got it to work properly, independent of whether I'm using AA or not.
