Spotify no longer working with Ford Sync.

[WhaleTrain]

Hi all,

After the recent wave of Spotify updates I've found that it now fails to function right with my Ford in-car SYNC system. The system detects the app on my phone, I launch but the Spotify app fails to switch into this mode (switches the UI to the Spotify logo and ford logo). The audio comes through but sadly no track information and cannot browse playlists, the only option is to "Close Spotify". This resorts me to using the standard BT audio system where I can only skip.

Additionally, sometimes when I leave my car and have had the Spotify SYNC app running, when I return and switch on, sometimes it "Fails to connect to Spotify" forcing to me to re-scan. I'm running a 2015 Fiesta.

Is this a problem with SYNC or the recent updates to Spotify?

Thanks.
