Spotify

Had there been a software update? When I was out earlier (with top down) it picked up Spotify on the phone and I was able to control with I drive. Not been to dealer or even accepted anything on menu, does it just do itself?

Cheers
 
I noticed it, pretty cool. I suspect it comes thru the iOS app on the fly rather than a full update. But that's just a guess.
 
How are youguys playing spoitfy? My bluetooth wont let me play anything through it and the usb wont recognise my iphone using my phone cable.

It depends on your cars year and whether you have the app option etc
 
10 plate is right on the edge of the combox introduction, which is required. if you don't have BMW apps support (and an iPhone), it won't work.
 
What's spotify???

I gather its a music thing - I'm retired and most of my pals are old farts as well!
So who else to ask?
 
As it happens, Spotify is currently offering 3 months subscription for 99p, so worth a try IMHO. With the iPhone Spotify App, you are also able to make songs/albums available offline, so no need for an internet connection. The audio is fed through the App, rather than through the native iPhone music player, but the iDrive can control the app to some degree (track fwd+back).

As a side note, I have an early 2009 vehicle with iDrive, so my Combox does not do Bluetooth A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile), I therefore have to use the Y cable to connect to the car.
 
As long as spotify works its fone by me thanks guys. Does it have to be OME or does any work?
 
I got fleeced when I bought the car, and paid over £50.00 for the OEM BMW cable. I am sure there are other forum members that have successfully used cheaper versions without any problems?
