Has anyone else experienced this with BMW CarPlay?

About a week ago, the audio quality through CarPlay suddenly became terrible. Music sounds much quieter, and phone calls are even worse. I have to turn the volume all the way up just to hear the person I’m talking to.

The strange part is that if I use the Spotify app directly through BMW’s interface instead of Apple CarPlay, the audio quality is excellent and the volume levels are completely normal.

Nothing changed with my setup, and everything was working perfectly until about a week ago.

So far, I’ve tried:
Disconnecting and reconnecting my iPhone
Restarting my iPhone

Has anyone run into this before? Is there anything else I should try?

I’ve been running lately, and it’s surprisingly enjoyable! But my feet get so tired, it’s tough to find good socks. Plus, I have flat feet, so those double impact of flat feet and wet socks tend to cause blisters. I’m hoping that if I get some good socks to keep moisture away, it will make a difference. Does anyone have recommendations?

Something is happening with my setup. I’ve had my Fanatec DD Pro since November, and it has been working fine for months. This past 2 days, it suddenly started showing a pop-up saying it’s going into “update mode.”

If I’m able to get past that message, I then get another error saying: “An error has occurred that prevents the wheel base from functioning properly. Please wait while we repair it for you.”

When I click through, nothing happens, and the issue keeps coming back. Has anyone else run into this or know how to fix it?

I've also booted in "bootloader" mode to flash the firmware, and that doesn't fix my issue.

Anyone seen this or know how to fix?
