[iOS] Cover art + track title is "stuck" on the first track played on BMW head unit

[drftorres]

Track titles and cover art is not displayed correctly on BMW (2015) when playing through Bluetooth or the USB interface in the center console.

Symptom: Music plays and it is possible to switch tracks, but the cover art and track title is "stuck" on the first track played. It played great in the past and playing well with other music apps.

Device

(iPhone Xs) Running version 13.3.1

Car: BMW X6M 2015

This is exactly what I have been experiencing since January as well. It is
Spotify. My car software is up to date. My IPod software is up to date. I
have uninstalled it several times. Amazon works fine. Fix it or I’m
switching to Amazon.

Dear Sirs,

I tried doing the steps mentioned in the mail you sent me and the problem
still persists.

As requested, my setup is:

Iphone 11 Pro iOS 13.3.1
Spotify version 8.5.54.1127
BMW 3 Series 2014

Also mentioned by other forum members, this issue appeared after updates
released on January.

I really appreciate a solution in this problem, once I'm a Premium member
and we're paying for a service that works in a recent past.

Thanks
Lauro Nadais

The Spotify issue has still not been fixed even after doing all the recommended steps of re-sinstalling the app, and establishing a new bluetooth connection between phone and car. Everything is completely up to date as of today 5/3/2020

This very well could be an Apple IOS issue. There are many vehicles
experiencing this but with Apple devices. So not specific car related.

Same issues as reported above. Car, iOS, and Spotify app are up to date. Car is a 2014 BMW 435i. I’ve tried, and researched everything. Even using OEM Apple USB to Lightning cable. Hope to see this fixed soon as it’s really annoying to only be able to see the first song I played on the BMW iDrive screen.

I am having the exact same issue.

2015 BMW 428i car software up to date as well as my iphone software.

I deleted the app and reinstalled it, but still having the same issue. I am glad its not my car though as this exact thing started around late 2019. I tried Apple Music and that works fine.. Hope we can get a software fix ASAP as I miss when the app worked fine.

Thanks!!
