I gave up trying the QR code and logged in today using all uppers for the email address and combo for the password and that worked fine. Question - does anyone know if you can pause a song while in the Spotify app through iDrive? I get a screen showing the individual song with a pause button when I use Spotify through CarPlay, but not when using iDrive.

Would you clarify what you mean by "combo" for your password?

So my use of special characters might be a problem?

I just have letters and numbers in my pw, so that may be the issue. You can try changing your Spotify pw and see if that works.

Only after changing my email - which was entered in an odd way - and my password could I activate the Spotify account from the Media menu.

Can you describe what was odd about your email address, and the structural differences in your password, that you think made the difference. No point leaving others to suffer with the same style issues in the future.

I had not noticed that Spotify was using the longhand version of one of my vendor IDs so I simplified a typical e-address. The password that cleared BMW's manual login did not have any special characters, just letters and numbers. The QR code never worked after trying at least 7 such codes.

Don't have any issues playing normal music through the iDrive (from USB for example).

Does everyone with an iPhone have this problem?

Did you get this fixed? If so, mind sharing how?

Hey guys,

My G05 2019 X5 is on the 7/2019 update. Whenever I search for an update under remote software upgrade it says no upgrade has been found. I’ve tried in multiple locations, with the phone plugged and unplugged, and on multiple days. Is there any way I can force the 11/2019 update to get this to work? Thanks.

There are several posts and threads about OTA in the USA of which the following is one:

I changed my PW for Spotify, deleting all special characters, using only letters and numbers and I was able to login in my X5. Prior to that I could not. Thanks!

So - OTA update to 11/2019.70 today, went through the apps update, no Spotify in Media. Does this work with Android phones? Saw something about Spotify disabling the app function for BMW?

Connected Music (ie just Spotify for now) is independent of your phone, so it doesn't matter if you have Android, iOS, StarTAC, or nothing. It uses car's connectivity to stream audio, not your phone's. Give it a couple of days for the Spotify app to become available, it seems to need a little time to be provisioned. Maybe reboot iDrive a few times in that period for good measure as well. It should appear in the Media menu eventually ... and then the fun connecting it to your Spotify account can begin ...

Thanks - got it! So I assume this is only applicable to iDrive 6?

Ha, interesting. No idea as I am not a voluntary Android user, but a) BMW Connected Music does not rely on a smartphone, b) continues to work as of several hours ago (in fact, I just yesterday successfully switched it to a separate spare Spotify family sub-account from my regular one to keep "car music" and "life music" separated), c) iOS Spotify App v8.5.71.859 continues to work over BT in the X5.

Great - will continue to try. So far no luck - several times rebooted. Also have a separate family account; I didn't think it was related to the phone OS, but just confirming. I can play Spotify using my phone as media - just no iDrive integration (yet).
