Album art cover

Hey folks.

Anyone here use Spotify? I'm having a hard time getting my album art cover to show on my display. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
I'm connecting via USB.

Is anyone else having the issue of the album art not appearing on the display? Suggestions?

When I stream Pandora via bluetooth it shows the correct song and art at startup but does not switch when the track changes. I had my 1200 mile service yesterday and brought it to their attention, they said it needs to be programmed. Extremely aggravating considering I paid for the enhanced bluetooth. I was told it takes a few hours.

How these things are not programmed properly out the factory is beyond me. What is strange is that when I stream youtube the tracks and art are correct.

I had "extended bluetooth" option in my E92 335 and it was of no use. I kept a 160GB ipod attached in the car with the music, which worked fine. looking forward to the new car, but I've got the ipod ready for "longterm" storage of music in the car. however, some new stuff I buy is only on the phone so I'm wondering how well the BT connection will work, or attaching the phone via cradle or cable.

Yea that happens to me too. The first song I play when I stream music thru my iPhone via USB or bluetooth, the album art appears correctly. Any song there after the album art does not change.

So there is a fix for this?

Enhanced bluetooth I got because whats another $500 in an 80k car and BMW knows everybody will think like that and check the box- your right it is useless to me.

I have the same issue streaming Spotify via BT or USB- the 1st album cover is correct but never updates. I just had my 1200 mile service done last Thursday and there was no available programming fix...or so I was told.

Same for me. The track name doesnt event change sometimes. Streaming is fine just the idrive display doesnt seem to sync up with the spotify app to pull track details.

BMW does not support Spotify. Hence all our problems. Almost has me switching to Pandora, but I like being able to pick the songs.

My Spotify works flawlessly, and unlike the other streaming apps, if you need to exit the BMW Connected App, the music keeps on streaming, and the interface stays the same.

Is anyone using an Android based phone + Pandora and/or Spotify? The only way I can get these to work is through BT. Whenever I connect the USB cable in order to try and get the Spotify App to launch it fails miserably.

Make sure your BT is up to date :
Type last 7 of Vin and then DownLoad onto your USB FlashDrive ~ go to your car and update it ! Album art should work on eith BT/USB afterwards

Suggest you bring the car in along with the flash drive to your BMW service advisor and have the tech double check the correct firmware for your vin. They can read your key and if update needed it should pop up on their screen.
