Bluetooth phone issues

I have this weird issue and was wondering if anyone has experienced this as well. When I am in my F10 and on a call via the car's bluetooth (iphone 5S), every now and then, in the middle of the call the audio will disconnect from the car's speakers and the radio will come back on. However, the call is still connected to the phone, and will return after a few seconds back to the car's audio.

Now, I am not sure if this in a issue with the car's bluetooth module or with my iPhone's bluetooth. Any other F10 owners experience this?

Never seen this issue. I have a 5S and until last March, drove a 2011 535i with not problems, and then in March I obtained a 2014 535i and no issues have presented itself. Models 2013 and above, has the NBT electronics package, but my 2011 had the old CIC electronics package, but still no problems with either.

I've had this happen to me numerous times in my 2011 535i. I have an iPhone 5s as well and I have nav as well. I called the dealership and they said they have heard of the issue but there is no fix that they know of right now...

Do you have the business version of bluetooth? Do you have many phone numbers in the phonebook? Try to remove the car to permit access to your address book. Lose the display of names, but perhaps the bluetooth works

After I got my iPhone 6 with IOS8 all my vehicles (2013 X5, 535i and 2014 GTi) started doing the same thing. I did not try my previous iPhone 5s with IOS8 so I can't tell if it's IOS8 or iPhone 6 hardware.

Hi Guys, I just moved here from San Diego, and will be here for business for 3 years, and just picked a 2014 528i M Package, which has the professional navigation 609 and and BT 6NH, am trying to pair my IPhone 5 (IOS 7) for audio streaming, but once I pair it which actually is done easily, I do not get the audio option on my NAV screen to tick it for supporting audio. Would appreciate any help!

I'm having the same exact problems on my 2013 550i with Iphone 6 running IOS 8.1. I tried updating the software on the car and it didn't work. Very frustrating.
