I just recently got my first BMW and am beyond excited. Its a 2018 440i. I've run into some problems with my phone though and I'm not sure if there is a fix or not.

1. I have a samsung galaxy s7. Is there anyway to be able to get text messages, calendar, read email etc through the idrive? I've searched a ton of posts but it seems like it is very specific to the exact phone and car you have. I have the premium package which comes with the navigation system. A lot of other posts mention there is a menu titled "office" on the idrive but I dont even see that anywhere.

2. When I connect my galaxy S7 through the usb connection, it picks up a couple of songs on my phone but otherwise doesn't see the great majority of my music. There was one time it randomly found my whole library but I have not been able to repeat that again. Any ideas?

Appreciate any help. I'm about to just switch to an iphone out of frustration.
