Spotify & Android working.....
I am able to get Spotify to work with my PixelXL phone running Android 7.1.2
Full support - Album art shows, browse playlist in HUD ect. ** But it stops working after the first song and the Spotify app disappears from the IDrive / media section. The music keeps playing but the album art and song title are stuck on the 1st song that started playing. I am hoping this means full integration for spotify and Android are close to working... anyone else experience this ?? |

I use Bluetooth. I have enhanced Bluetooth in my car if that makes any difference.

Haven't tried using a cable. You can search for songs and playlists with idrive. If I remember I will take a photo of it this evening.

I'm using Bluetooth. I have my bug sorted out, I just needed to unlock the BMW/Spotify screen on the phone and then the car has full spotify functionality, browse, library, playlists ect.. and album art. Available to control in the HUD or Idrive screen...... *Until I get a phone call or text. Then spotify stops working with car controls.......

but i can search through the entire list of songs in that playlist too. Using the steering controls. need to play with it a bit when using the ipod i can only select next and pack. i cant search through the playlists through the steering controls like i can with the android phone. Even the ipod is plugged in i still can only go forward and back using the steering controls. you would think the ipod would work better than android?? it is a 6th generation ipod if anyone is asking. Any ideas?
