If you hold Menu to get into the Carsara UI when you first get in, see if it shows the device paired.
I've noticed at various times depending on how I am using my phone, it can take longer for my phone to decide to pair. I think part of that is just the standard bluetooth handshake, there is some latency in that transaction.
I was having some weird issues but re-pairing fixed it for me. If I ever get in and see it's not paired it won't show the Carplay (or AA icon) on the left isde of the carsara menu.
RE the default audio source: I think Cannyjock mentioned he had that issue as well. There are a few complaints on that (outside of carplay, just in general) on E90post. People seem to be mentioning everything from a problem with the keyfob to possible short in the trunk? Everyone seems to chalk it up to gremlins though I didn't see anyone finding a definitive answer for that.
It's possible the iDrive expects some type of voltage on the Aux channels to turn it on or it'll default back to radio?
