Automatic connections can fail if your phone's Bluetooth is off or if there are multiple paired devices in the vicinity. Ensure your phone's Bluetooth is active and prioritize your BMW connection in your phone's settings.
First, ensure that your phone is compatible with the BMW Bluetooth system. Try restarting both the phone and the car's system. If the issue persists, delete the existing pairing and attempt to pair again.
Improving call quality can often be achieved by ensuring all windows and the sunroof are closed to minimize external noise. Additionally, check for software updates for both your phone and the car's system.
