Has anybody experienced this issue?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S10+, running Android 10. Even though I have made sure I have activated both sound and call sounds via bluetooth, in the phone and the car, when I receive a call the ringtone plays only out of the phone speakers, not the car. Sometimes it doesn't even sound at all.

I don't know if the issue is the car or the phone, but I've tested it with a bluetooth speaker and it works fine, so I tend to think is the car.

I tried unpairing from the phone and deleting from the car, but the issue persists.

Has any of you experienced the same before? Any ideas on how to fix it?

I have a Note 8 and downloaded an app called Bluetooth volume manager which solved the issue.

I have just started experiencing the same issue yesterday. Audio is fine for music, and you have full control of calls through iDrive, but there is no sounds for calls. The phone works fine with bluetooth headphones for calls, so assume it must be an issue with the iDrive. Any ideas on how to fix?

I started having the same issue yesterday: no sound for bluetooth calls. I'm able to start a call from the car, but nothing comes through the speakers unless I switch the call to the phone's speaker. I'm able to listen to music from the phone using the bluetooth connection, but anything with a call won't work. I'm using a Samsung Note 9 with Android 10 on it.

Unfortunately someone has taken a dislike to my car and ripped the rear bumper off. I've told BMW to investigate whilst they have it in th bodyshop. Fingers crossed on a fix 🤞🏼

I have the exact same issue with my one plus 6T too! Music works fine but calls only via the phone’s speaker and not the car’s. it shows the ongoing call on the Idrive but I have to use the phone’s speaker to hear them.
Wife’s iPhone works perfectly though.

Ah man. That sucks. Hopefully you get your car back soon enough and they fix the issue while it’s in there.

You're telling me. The excitement of a "new" car caught me until I sat in a Lexus and wanted to cry 😪

I unpaired my phone from the car and removed the car from my phone’s Bluetooth paired settings. I didn’t use Bluetooth for a long time since I was always logging with my JB4 app and didn’t know I could run it in the background while my phone was still connected to the car. Recently paired my phone again with the car and it works fine now. God knows for how long though.

I'm having the same issue. Had been working fine then suddenly no audio.

This iDrive system is a total joke. Problem after problem.

I contacted BMW and they said it is a known issue after a recent software update on the Android phones. BMW have now included a fix in their most recent software update and have booked me in next week for it.

Hopefully that fixes things.

I've had this issue for awhile now. I unchecked "play phone ringtone" one day and soon after that I got a call and heard the ringtone. I haven't tested recently though.

I do wear a smartwatch which normally attracts my attention enough to answer the call. I have missed calls in the car in the past without the watch connected.

I will test in the AM. This does seem to be a wide spread issue though.

I have a Galaxy Note 9.

BMW does not have a service bulletin for this to claim warranty updates to a newer ID7 version.
