Problem to pair Xperia Z1 Compact with BMW idrive

[Mryesok]

Hi

The Xperia Z1 Compact can pair bu the Z1 disconnects after 15 sec.

Is this a bug or do you know any solution?

Please advise

Thanks in advance

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

Check if you able to establish a working connection with other Bluetooth devices, just to check if this is related to the phone or the car kit. It may be a compatibility related issue. Have you check with the car kit manufacturer that Xperia Z1 Compact is supposed to be compatible?

I have BMW idrive and Z1 and unfortuantely I am still experieincing issues where I cannot even connect to any bluetooth device plus we also have second car freelander experiencig the same issue.

I have now tried all settings and communcation with Xperia Z1 Compact is not stable. The bluetooth is closing and then coming back after a minute or two.

The BMW drives very well with Blackberry Bold, but not with Sony Xperia. It is a Sony problem

Can any of you please confirm if you have check with the carkit manufacturer to see if your handset/Android version is listed as being compatible with their carkit as per Johan’s advice?

I'm also having the same problem it connects but won't allow the car access to contacts or calling from the car. It's as though the bluetooth is disconnecting itself and the car's bluetooth is fine as was using it with my old iPhone last week. I'd say it's definitely a phone issue...

I like the way the posters in this thread just ignore the advice from Sony.

Someone still needs to ask BMW if there car's are compatible with the Z1 Comapct.

You cant just keep repeating its a phone problem when no one has bothered to ask the car manufcaturer.
