iPhone 6 / IOS 8 Compatibility

Now that Apple is about to break ground on the next generation iPhone, what new problems is IOS 8 going to give us car junkies. Heck, it took many months just for us to get the iPhone 5 properly working in our cars. Just can't figure out how I'm going to cram my new 5.5 iPhone 6 into my BMW phone cradle though

I've had ios8 for about 4-5 months now .. seems to work fine .. only issue, once in a while, iTunes radio has to be selected a few times, the system kicks it out and starts playing "your" music .. I'm referring to the specific channel you want to play from iTunes Radio.

Other then that ... good to go.

Have you tried using any third party music apps like spotify or pandora? Was curious if the issue of only the first song title/artist showing up is still present. In other words, do third party music apps now correctly show the currently playing track on idrive?

Could you try spotify (free) and see if after the first track plays if the track title and artist never change?

Blast. Guess we're going to have to live with that. It's weird because if you're on the media screen and you press the options button and select "random" it will show the correct song info!!! Frustrating.

The random option is grayed out for me and doesn't do anything, at least when playing Spotify or Pandora. This whole thing is probably my biggest frustration with the car.
