Over the last month, the frequency of the iDrive system crashing has increased. It now happens on almost any drive longer than about 5 minutes. They system will go blank, and takes a minute or 2 to reboot. This happens in a wide variety of conditions, including when the parking/backup camera are in use, when I answer a phone call, or (most especially), when I try to launch Carplay.
I'd say 2 out of 3 times I try to launch Carplay from the main menu screen for the first time after starting a trip, it goes goes either to the initial "Supra" boot screen or just blanks out and resets. I've tried rebooting iDrive (holding volume control in for ~30 seconds), rebooting my iPhone, and disconnecting/reconnecting my iPhone via the Comm menu. I deleted my iPhone and reconnected it, several times, and this doesn't help. Carply is close to being unusable now, and this is most annoying when you get a phone call over iDrive. You go to answer it, and the system just snap reboots.
I'm documenting this behavior here on the forum and am curious if others have had similar issues? I've had a dozen other BMWs, including my current M340i (with iDrive 7.0, not the 6.0 version in the Supra), and have never had these kinds of issue. The 3 BMWs I owned with iDrive 6.0 never had these issues, either. In fact, I can't recall a single reboot on any of these systems. I do hope Toyota is aware and working with the iDrive folks to find the cause of all this. I'm about 90% certain it's related to Carplay.
