Phone pairing problem
Hey Chappies,
Got a new iPhone 5se the other day with a new network. I’ve paired the phone to the car for the phone but I can’t get it to play music, I’ve got a docking station under the armrest that it clips into and it charges the battery but the idrive says ‘Not supported’. It won’t work with a flying lead either. As yet the new provider, O2 hasn’t come on screen and it’s still running the old Vodafone account but I can’t see that makes any difference as it pairs up ok using Bluetooth for phone calls so I’m stumped as to why it won’t play music.
Anyone any ideas please?

What years is your car? My 35i is 2009 and will link Bluetooth but only for phone calls. It won’t play music from the phone. And no, it doesn’t make a difference that it’s an iPhone, Android is no different

It’s a 2010 Lazza, the E89 has never played music by Bluetooth but my last E89 played it off the phone either by lead or the docking station. I can’t get it to do either...

I made the same wrong assumption when pairing my sh!ty old iphone. thought i could stream bassdrive.com through the 10 speaker dsp system. wahaaaay.
but sadly, no enchilada when i hooked it all up.
An mpow BT dongle sorted that little caveat however.
...and then my amp dieded.

By the 3.5mm socket I can play from my iPhone but can’t control it from the car.
I don’t have the snap in adapter but I didn’t think that allowed phone music control either.

Yes it did Lazza, you could use the steering wheel controls for volume and track skip. It’s charging the thing but won’t play music...

No, but I can advise you to ditch your iPhone in favour of an Android one....john-e89 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 18, 2018 11:32 pmChris_D wrote: ↑Sun Nov 18, 2018 11:29 pm I made the same wrong assumption when pairing my sh!ty old iphone. thought i could stream bassdrive.com through the 10 speaker dsp system. wahaaaay.

I’ve had android before but fell out of love with it. After less than 2 years it was out of date and couldn’t be updated to the latest os, some apps stopped working, it got slow, ran hot and battery barely lasted a day. Everyone I know who has android phones has similar experiences and you really need to upgrade every 2 years, 3 at the most. My iPhone 6 is now 4 years old, on the latest iOS (uodated again this weekend), still works as well as it did when I bought it and I still get to the end of each day with at least 50% battery, usually closer to 80%.
And it doesn’t need virus scanner and junk file deletion apps to keep it running.
