View playlists etc. via Bluetooth in my car

My Question or Issue

While listening to Google Play Music via Bluetooth in my car, I can browse my library, select tracks and view all songs in the current playlist via my car's infotainment system (BMW iDrive).

Spotify via Bluetooth only displays the current song in the playlist section for me + I cannot browse my library.

Why is that so?

Does Spotify not support advanced Bluetooth features or is it my phone's fault?

Please note I am not talking about the BMW Connected Spotify app, but about connecting my Android phone via Bluetooth audio to my vehicle.

I am experiencing the same issue in my 2019 Honda. Any idea?

I wonder why Spotify is always so behind in terms of technology. I like it because of their catalog and low price, but Chromecast support sucks, they deleted native apps from many smart tvs, and now this.

This feature has been requested since 2018. How much effort can it take to implement this, or at least reply saying you'll add it to your backlog, even if it's a lie? I'm honestly considering other options such as YouTube or Google music. I had it standing by you guys, you don't seem to care about your customers.

Did you ever figure out a fix?
