Connected App Update (Android)

rebirth24 · 08-19-2015, 12:54 PM

Just an FYI. The connected App has been updated for Android devices (v1.7.3). It is still useless as it doesn't give you access to any of the actual Apps you would want to use (Pandora, Spotify, etc.). The German team assigned to this is still too stupid to figure it out...

The idiot Germans haven't figured that out either. I actually have both and the iphone is just as much of a pain with the locking and app launch issue...

I have to say, the Lack of Apps compared to Iphones is bothering me way more than it should.

I can stream my music from Spotify just fine, and Back/Next from the steering wheel with no issue, just like my old car. My old Car was an F150. So i've lost no functionality. However when you spend a considerable amount of cash on a car, Is it too much to ask to have equal treatment on your mobile platform?

I mean really, it's Android. It's open source. BMW says that because Android is on many Manufacturer's platforms, that they can't 'work with" the bitstreaming data. That's Bull, because the android base platform is the same, they just put different GUI's on it.

Long as short, it keeps pissing me off and Honestly, it shouldn't.

It is the path of least resistance
