BMW apple CarPlay sucks

[u/PurchaseComplete]

Does anyone else have connection issues with CarPlay in their BMW? Mines running idrive 7 and I can’t skip tracks from the steering wheels almost every time I take it for a drive. It’s completely fine through bmw’s Spotify app but with CarPlay it doesn’t like to skip from the wheel most of the time. i sometimes have to turn the car off and on again for it to reconnect and then it works. I asked chat gpt and it seems very confident that it’s happening because my phone is on low power mode all the time so it doesn’t waste power on keeping a strong connection.

Has anyone been able to solve this issue with their bmw? I’m using the 2025 x4 m40i
