“Safety note”

Hi, 

 

When connecting Spotify to my BMW iDrive (iPhone 7) via USB or Bluetooth, the BMW app automatically launches Spotify. 

 

Spotify then automatically opens a Driving Safety Dismiss Message on the phone which must be clicked before Spotify lets you play or do anything, including controlling Spotify through the car. This only pops up when connecting to the car.

 

In short.. You have a safety feature warning people not to use their phone whilst driving, but the feature forces people to use their phone whilst in their car. Kinda counterproductive, right?

 

Can you implement a tick box or an option to permanently turn off Safety Warning from popping up every time?

 

I'd consider it a pretty urgent fix as you're risking people having to use their phones in the car. It's an accident waiting to happen. 

I am re-posting this supposed not an issue topic because it is still an issue, five years later. If you all cared to read the comments, you would notice that people have been complaining about this issue for the past five years. It is still not been fixed. It is an issue, it is dangerous, and it needs to be taken off. Thank you.

Same here. I am really fed up with this stupid message. A real security threat.
