View and change my downloaded playlists via the phone ( not iDrive) and listen to them via the car speakers.Ģ.

However, via Android Auto ( also incompatible with BMW, wth !! ) on my Galaxy S7 I can :ġ. Cannot use voice command to change tracks, playlists etc. I cannot access or control my Deezer playlists. I use the split screen mode on my car display with the smaller portion of the split devoted to Deezer / multimedia. However the BMW screen does display the playlist or album title, as well as the name of the track which is playing, in "black and white". I haven’t got any more time to waste so will just continue with Deezer and accept its limitations in the BMW / Android format.ĭeezer works with Andoid / BMW but, as I said in my previous post, with limitations. The level of complexity which has been introduced for a seemingly simple task is frankly mind blowing. Talk about a chicken and egg situation and it remains unresolved as far as I can tell from the Spotify forums.
Spotify bmw idrive 7 Offline#
When I open the Spotify App in offline mode I get a message telling me I am offline and that I should go online to login ! Therefore the app is redundant in offline mode. I have downloaded my playlists onto my SD card for offline listening to avoid exceeding my providers data allowance. Here are the links from the Spotify firum It seems that the most recent Android operating systems have an aggressive power saving mode which can affect the Spotify App. I have a Galaxy S7 ( I switched a couple of weeks ago from iPhone). I have been doing some more research into the BMW / Android / Spotify connectivity issues. I can live with that until it’s time to change my 1 year old 430d Gran Coupe but if the situation remains the same it will be a deal breaker. Just unable to use Google Assist for controlling the playlists, nor can I see the album artwork. At least I can listen to my playlists / albums on the car speakers via Bluetooth and have the benefit of Google Assist and messaging, emails, phone calls etc. I will continue with Deezer ( supported by BMW on iOS but not Android - what is that all about ? ) via Android Auto in the car on my phone. A joke really from the supposedly number one music streaming company and one of the worlds top auto producers. Played one entire playlist without problem but then the Spotify icon just disappeared from the screen and I had to revert to radio.Īlso had the “ random”playlist for one session. Lost the connection with Connected Drive and Spotify on numerous occasions today ( my first day with the Spotify / Android package ).
Same problem from another unpaid employee of Spotify / BMW.
