First Service - Spotify Gone!
Posted: Fri Feb 26, 2021 12:15 pm
First service just completed on Wednesday at 9800 miles at Williams Bolton. Took a little over an hour and did it while I waited. Having seen my car drive out of the workshop I was a little surprised to see it go back in. I was then told an error message had come up that needed to be checked out. Long story short, it was a connection to the head unit. Left the car with them and picked it up Thursday.
I’ve had Spotify up and running via the online music since having the car. I then bought BMW Connected Music provided by Napster back in November as told Spotify was no longer supported. However, Spotify has continued to work in the car without any issues, even after a software update, so just kept on with Spotify as it was linked to my account. I drove off from the garage yesterday and Spotify was still there but a few tracks later stopped working and fell silent. Had a look at this at home and the Spotify Ap has now gone and the Napster Ap is now the default Connected Music player.
As I have Spotify on my iPhone, wasn’t too concerned as I can play my music library via Bluetooth connection but here’s the problem. Spotify shows the tracks via the head unit and confirms the track is playing but no sound comes out. Tried iTunes and this works without any issues at all!
Where’s Spotify gone and can I get it back? Why does Spotify no longer play sound when connected via Bluetooth but iTunes does? Seems a little strange this happened after service visit and issues with the head unit!
