BMW CarPlay not working using Steering Wheel forward/back buttons - "No Artist" on cluster display.

 My iPhone (16 Pro Max, latest iOS) is paired to the car (X5 - 2023) using CarPlay (enhanced integration = true), but sometimes while listening to music in CarPlay, the prev/next track buttons on the steering wheel have no effect:


- Sometimes it says "Unknown artist" on the instrument cluster like it's changing tracks but to a null song.

- However using the prev/next button on the GUI 13" screen continue to work while this is happening.


It’s a bit random, sometimes it works, other times not. Shutting off the car and opening the door resets it, also disabling Wi-Fi for a few secs and reconnecting also fixes it until the next time the car is shut off.


Bug started around the 03/2024 BWM update or Apple Iphone updates during the same time, and continues after the BMW 07/ 2024 update and on the latest iOS 18.2.1.

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18
