iOS 8.4 problems in-car?

Has anyone else been having issues with the stability and performance of playing music through the USB interface since Apple Music came to light in iOS 8.4?

I've been noticing quite a few problems. Initially 'only' in the artist/album/track organisation structure in iDrive, but now also it will randomly stop playing, and perhaps even switch to a completely different album.

Do I need to update the software in my car, or is it just Apple Music that is broken in this regard?

Thoughts and opinions appreciated. Cheers.

Don't want to steal thread , but wonder if new software could account for my bluetooth problems (bad connection, frequent drops and failure to synch) that were not in evidence early on...

New software does create problems with adapters and 3rd party powercords.

Each iteration of iOS works similarly in my 1M: inconsistently.
