How to video: Add Spotify to iDrive 7





https://jaypichardo.com/2020/02/03/h...y-to-your-bmw/

BMW customers with a Premium Spotify account and a compatible vehicle can now stream Spotify music directly in their BMW without having to use a Smartphone app.

· The customer must sign in from the vehicle for the first time only, which can be done by scanning a QR code on their mobile device or manually entering their user name and password using the iDrive.

· Data charges are covered by BMW. That is, Connected Music with Spotify uses the vehicle’s embedded cellular connection, and not the customer’s data connection, to stream music.

Any way to get Pandora on there without using CarPlay or Android Auto?

Not yet. I'm on the July software, too. I spoke to a BMW Genuis but they said they have no insight into if/when BMW may release updated software for OTA updates. Supposedly you can take it to the dealer and have them do the update under warranty, but I'd much prefer an OTA update vs a day of dealing with service.

I was able to get this on my 2019 X7 but it “fights” with CarPlay and playback is difficult. CarPlay thinks the BMW is playing music or vice versa and it stops repeatedly. Haven’t found a good fix.

"BMW Connected Music with Spotify is now available".

"If you finally curated the perfect Spotify playlist or want to listen to your favorite album for the first time you'll be happy to know that Spotify is now built right into the newest BMW ConnectedDrive feature: BMW Connected Music."
