iDrive/Nav complaints

Just starting a list:

1. Audio drop-outs. Infrequent, but annoying.
2. Bluetooth iPhone: the car can't find my music at all, even though it has a firm grasp on my 5s (7.04) for both phone and media.
3. USB flash drive music sometimes resets to the top on restart, sometimes not.
4. Nav system regularly tosses out my beautifully formatted contact addresses and substitutes random streets as destinations.

Hi
Just to help out
1. Please update your 5S to latest available ios.
2. I was lucky after I restarted my iPhone, Bluetooth was working much better.
3. I see that you have 2013 model, I recommend to go to bmw.com/update and enter vehicle id no. It then provides you with latest i drive software. Use a stick drive and upload based on instructions provided

I am hoping this will help you out.

Hey, thanks for raising your hand. I do have the latest iOS (7.04) on my 5s, and I updated the car's media software so that it also has the latest available version. I will try restarting the phone; I'm also going to try "priming the pump" on streaming music by starting it from the phone instead of from the iDrive controller. We'll see.
