2 small complaints on an otherwise near perfect car
I have now enjoyed my G80 competition for nearly 8 months and can not say anything negative about the car. The best car i ever had by a large margin. Nothing is perfect though so here are my two daily annoyances that i hope can be fixed through a update or maybe by just changing a setting in some menu...
1) nr. 1 is the most serious one : when i get in the car in the morning my radio starts playing automatically (when i left it on). This is great and what i want. However once i start the engine the radio turns off and i need to start it again using voice command or some media-menu. This is very annoying sometimes when i am listening to something interesting. 2) It is wintertime here now which means that when i leave my work in the evening it is dark already. When i unlock the car only the daytime running lights turn on and not (like my previous BMW) also the main headlights to light my path to the car and sometimes the door that i want to lock. Is there maybe some setting so that also the main headlights turn on in the dark when unlocking the car ? Tips on how to solve these minor things are greatly appreciated. |

You should be able to select both these items to do what you want. My radio goes direct to CarPlay when I start the car. Just a slight hesitation as the car shifts from the ready state to engine running. Waze also comes up at the same time.
Same lights come on automatically when I get near the car & it reads the fob.....did you ever set these things up in the settings screen?

It also has nothing to do with BMW's last OTA update because i had the same problem in the old software situation. Strange. |

Hmm, yea like others stated, my radio turns on once I start the engine and plays whatever media source I had on last. If I push the volume button off then shut the car off, the radio will be off when I restart the car.
As for the lights when unlocking, you can change the settings in idrive to have the headlights turn on when unlocking. That is how mine was configured when I took delivery.

Grasping at straws here…could this be something to do with your driver's profile? Did you set one up? When you get back in the car, does it automatically go to your profile, or does it go to guest?

I don't have either of these problems with my car. When I first got my car, wireless carplay would take a few minutes to get up and running, but ever since I upgraded to iOS 15, the issue has gone away.
