Setting Home Screen to Bluetooth audio at car start?

itsmejson · 11-09-2022, 09:13 AM

Hi all,

Does anyone know if there is a way to set the Bluetooth audio screen as the default screen when the car is turned on?

Every time I start the vehicle it shows the menus screen and I have to press the media button and select audio on Idrive?

I just want to know how it doesn't default to play the first song every time starting with "A" from my apple music. Drives me bat shit crazy.

If the last thing I was listening to was a bluetooth connection....the next start up only requires pressing the MODE button on the steering wheel to reconnect and go back to the last two thing that was being listened, too. The 2nd press should go back to the previous selection (like PRESETS, Music Collection, or USB).

Or, what happens if you program one of the 1-8 preset buttons to BLUETOOTH? Shouldn't you be able to simply press that button to bring up BT?
