Reasons Why QQ Music Cannot Start in BMW?
3 Answers
QQ Music may fail to start in BMW due to the host system not being properly connected to the internet. Below is a brief introduction about BMW: 1. Basic Information: BMW (abbreviation for Bayerische Motoren Werke) is a German automobile brand under the BMW Group. It offers four vehicle categories: i, X, Z, and pure numeric series (1, 2, 3, etc.), along with the M series (BMW's official high-performance modification division) based on improvements to these series. The BMW logo's B.M.W. stands for Bavarian Motor Works, and the colors and combination of the logo are derived from the coat of arms of Bavaria, where BMW is headquartered. 2. Fortune Ranking: On August 2, 2021, BMW was ranked 54th on the Fortune Global 500 list.
Last time I drove my friend's BMW, I also encountered the issue of QQ Music not opening. It turned out to be a CarPlay connection problem. The phone and the car's infotainment system are like two kids having a tiff—simply restarting the phone's Bluetooth and the car's media system usually fixes it. The steps are quite simple: go to the media settings on the central control screen, find the mobile device management, delete the phone, and pair it again. Another possibility is that the car's data plan has expired, since QQ Music requires an internet connection to log in. If none of these methods work, it's likely that the car's infotainment system hasn't been updated for too long. Nowadays, BMW supports OTA updates, so you don't even need to visit the dealership—just click on the software update in the central control screen to get it done.
I've researched this issue before. BMW's entertainment system actually works very similarly to a smartphone. The most common reason for QQ Music failing to launch is software conflicts, especially when both CarPlay and the vehicle's WiFi are running simultaneously in the background. Here's a pro tip: hold down the volume button for 30 seconds to force restart the infotainment system - it's much more convenient than the battery cable removal method taught by dealerships. Another pitfall with BMW's vehicle account system: QQ Music requires login with the onboard version of BMW ID account to function, and many people forget to log into their account in the iDrive menu. Last week, a fellow car owner updated their system and all third-party app permissions got reset - remember to re-enable app permissions in the privacy settings.
