This is all while the car is not running.

Then she closes that door (obviously, lol), and gets in the drivers seat, plugs in her phone (with pandora running on the phone). When my wife is driving, she creates this time by unlocking the rear driver side passenger door and putting her purse in the back behind the drivers seat. If we unlock the door, plug the phone in, turn on pandora, then wait a bit (until pandora stops playing from the phone) THEN start the car, everything normally works properly. We cant hard reboot it either, so once its "not working" from a streaming perspective, it doesnt work properly for that whole trip. What I mean is, if you unlock the door, plug in the phone, start the car, and go, at least 50% of the time it wont play our pandora properly through BMW apps, or even connect to BMW apps properly for that trip. One thing we have found in relationship to the bluetooth (in the interest of information sharing), is that we need to give the car time to fully boot up so to speak or connection to phones do not work well all the time. There is definitely a difference in the speed in which they operate, etc. My 435 has the NBT Evo head unit, even though both of them have idrive 4.0 so visually operate the same.
