I have a 2014 BMW and the iPhone 7. I travel a lot and always listened to podcasts in the car. All of a sudden I could not listen to them. Everything was connected but there was no sound. Also, my bluetooth had turned off.
I went to the BMW dealer, and I dont know what he did, but he got my Bluetooth to work again. I can usually figure these things out myself. However, the podcasts were still not working and I could get no sound. He told me that podcasts are not suppoted. Huh? I had been listning to them for over a year.
I found this app, and figured I would try it for $2.99. I followed the directions in the app exactly. And then the podcasts started working! I dont know exactly what this app does, but it does what it claimed.
