Looks to be a randomized MAC address. Couldn't get a vendor looking it up. Do you have an iPhone? Those do randomized MACs for AirPlay for example.

 

I've seen that a bunch of times too, but I thought it was related to the issues I was having with my DAPP.

 

whoa.... got banned by the car... no service.

 

I’ve seen this when the passenger plugs their phone in to charge via the usb c port in the center console, then unplugs.

 

Also on the iPhone, depending on the privacy settings, Apple is masking your device name. So the BMW can get confused and just displays the Mac address instead of the name of the phone from time to time.

 

Have you had more than one device connected? We have two phones connected. I get this message when the other non-default device comes near and then gets out of range.

 

The only devices in the car are the car's esim, the iphone, and the Iwatch.

 

Then it's your iPhone as I indicated above, nothing to be worried about. My android phone will occasionally randomly disconnect but you can immediately re-pair it.

 

I think it's likely a rollover of the MAC address. I turn off Private Wi-Fi for my car's wifi, but I'm not sure it's needed. I think this message is innocuous.

 

There is a default Wi-Fi setting in Android that randomises the MAC (hardware) address to increase privacy - MAC address type. I have to turn this off for work networks to make sure I always get the same IP address.

Not sure how that impacts connections to the car or whether there is a similar thing in Apple phones but I have never had that message in my car.

 

View attachment 37391 What has been disconnected? Thanks, Dan

Did you solve it? Same for me in G42. Thank.you

 

I still get it all the time. Same Mac address each time from what I can tell.

 

Not sure. I think its my iwatch.
