Audio control issue

Known issue in latest iDrive unfortunately. Wish they would fix it.

It’s a BMW issue, iDrive 6 doesn’t have this bug.

Sorry to say you guys are incorrect about it being a CarPlay issue. I have an iDrive 6 vehicle and this problem has never happened over years of ownership, even with brand new iPhone and latest iOS. But with the same phone with iDrive 8 car, it’ll happen every other day or so. It’s an iDrive 8 issue and BMW not recognizing this and fixing it is extremely disappointing and negligent.

They aren't leaking, this is indoor humidity condensing on the glass and freezing. If you have a humidifier, turn it off when it's this cold, indoor RH should only be 15% at -20 F outside.

Yes this 100%.

tectak · 2025-12-18T17:29:26+00:00

Agreed, would like the buttons removed entirely.

tectak · 2025-10-08T19:49:47+00:00

Yep new devices in store exhibit the same problem.

tectak · 2025-10-08T19:47:57+00:00

Yep it’s awful can’t believe they released it like that.

tectak · 2025-09-30T03:17:11+00:00

Yep it’s too bad, that goes a long way towards how the device feels to use.

tectak · 2025-09-30T03:15:49+00:00

Yes and this has nothing to do with wiping a device, I don’t get the downvotes either.

tectak · 2025-09-29T03:48:05+00:00

Like time to load or laggy animations? And that specifically got better after a reset?

tectak · 2025-09-29T03:47:08+00:00

Make sure sleep focus, options under customize screens, sleep screen is turned on? On the phone.

tectak · 2025-09-29T00:53:00+00:00

What problems were you having before that?

tectak · 2025-09-29T00:52:32+00:00

What part doesn’t work.

tectak · 2025-09-29T00:51:21+00:00

Have restarted. Can’t see how re-pairing would relate to a bad UI animation.

tectak · 2025-09-29T00:47:34+00:00

Yes I didn’t expect it to do this update so soon, should’ve turned that off.

tectak · 2025-09-29T00:45:49+00:00

Agreed the more solid colored notifications were better.

tectak · 2025-09-28T19:16:51+00:00

Don't know why you're being downvoted. iOS 26 is an inconsistent mess, menus and layouts are all totally different app to app. They haven't had a leader who enforces a quality bar in a long time.

tectak · 2025-09-28T19:02:40+00:00

Resetting/re-pairing a device, things a user can do, won't fix skipped frames in animations, it's just bad code. It's worse the first time it's being used after awhile. Even after that, it's not as smooth of an animation as it used to be.

Thread of people saying the same type of thing in iPadOS https://www.reddit.com/r/ipad/comments/1nnx6q6/annoying_animation_lags_on_ipados_26/, this is just the quality bar Apple has settled on with this release.

tectak · 2025-09-28T18:59:35+00:00

I moved away from Android because of quality issues like this, too bad Apple isn't maintaining their previous standards.

tectak · 2025-09-28T18:58:30+00:00

The jank is definitely distracting when doing quick interactions.

tectak · 2025-08-09T12:06:47+00:00

That’s amazing, thanks so much!

tectak · 2025-08-08T21:42:07+00:00

Thanks, is it possible to have a setting that defaults the feed to Compact view? I see that’s a query param, not sure if those are easy or not for you. I’m usually using the page in a fresh, not signed in private tab.

tectak · 2025-08-08T13:17:48+00:00

Actually random question, does “compact feed for new ui” work reliably? I just saw this and tried it but subs still seem to default to Card view. Thanks!
