Spotify on ConnectedDrive?
I took delivery of my new 40i G05 last Thursday. I'm trying to figure out how to get the Spotify App to run natively within the ConnectedDrive System. It works fine when the system is in CarPlay mode but I prefer native mode. Has anyone had any luck getting 3rd party Apps working?

I went up to the dealer today bc my ConnectDrive stuff wasn't working. They did a reboot and that fixed it. While I was there I asked about the built in apps for Pandora and Spotify. Apparently they were buggy so they were pulled. He doesn't know if/when they're coming back. He said CarPlay is the only way right now.

Looks like US isn't getting it. Only "select European Markets" are getting it... Bullshit...

Well still waiting, I've been badgering my garage for having Spotify installed, but they have no clues...

I was discussing this over in another thread. From what the ConnectedDrive site says, it's available as a standalone app, which I assume is your goal here. Digging deeper, it looks like you can't have CarPlay enabled. I am going to try and see if I can figure this out today.

Spotify on ConnectedDrive is a mess especially if you have iPhone. I just uninstalled it as it was so buggy. Way better on CarPlay. Followed my dealer's advice :-)

Agreed. I think you’re going to have a hard time finding anything more convenient than CarPlay with an iPhone. I bet there’s a reason for that.... That’ll be $80/year or $300 please! |

We have the Spotify App in the UK works with or without Car play activated. I posted pictures in an earlier thread.

A few weeks ago i had the 11.19 update and on returning from the dealer Spotify was listed as its own entry under connected music. A week ago it then disappeared never to be seen again!!!! I have no idea how these things happen except for for poor unstable, untested IT. Such a shame.

Hello,
I had 3/2020.24 update two weeks ago and I can play Spotify in ConnectedDrive but only for 15 minutes with my home account. Do you think the app is standalone or needs Connected Music that I have not? My cell is a Samsung Note 9. Thanks. Note: I found this from the developper@BMW… With its seamless integration, the new Spotify app will let you listen to your Discover Weekly or Release Radar right from your BMW, without the need to use your smartphone's Bluetooth connection or Apple CarPlay, all data going through the vehicle's built-in LTE connection. Merging your familiar BMW iDrive and Spotify experience at the same time, this new integration will make you feel comfortable immediately ! Last edited by 007bandido; 04-07-2020 at 01:39 AM.. |
