[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

Hello Again,

since my latest post (Feb) I got a new I-Phone SE 2020.
SW Version: 13.6
Vehicle: BMW F31 2014 HU NBT: newest Software

Additional I tried several other I-Phones from colleagues, same Issue. (Iphone 6 up to 12pro)

From my point of view it is unbelievable that Spotify isn’t able to fix such a minor Bug within 8 Month!
Is it that hard to compare the SW Releases of January and February to find the Issue in your BT Stack?

Over all I am really disappointed about the poor customer Service and how they deal with paying customers.
No personal contact to the Problem finders, bad excuses and no progress

I absolutely agree with you. This is very poor customer service.

Hello, Spotify Team,

It’s been over since 6 months since listeners informed you about the title track issue in a car.  I personally contacted you multiple times.  It’s not fun if you’re driving for hours somewhere and all you see is the same title that appeared when you got it your car.  It’s obvious that you guys don’t care because you still get paid and we don’t cancel our memberships.  And, funny enough, it’s been MONTHS since you thanked us for drawing your attention to this issue.  Is there any way you would stand behind your product and service?? Is there any way you would resolve this issue for your clients?? Let us know so we can make a decision to switch to iTunes.  BMW 328i 2014.  The issue has been present since 2019.

I am also going to be making a move on my choice of music app. This is by
far the worst customer service I have ever had.

Hey! I can’t believe we’ve been dealing with this for a year and they didn’t lift a finger to fix the issue. Ugh

Horrible customer service..

[counting6]

I absolutely agree that the customer service is horrible. There is no
reason for this issue to be ongoing for so many months. I would never
recommend Spotify to anyone.

Was so happy when I found this post, to find that I was not the only one having this issue as I’ve only just gone back to iPhone. 

Bit devastated to find this issue has been going on for 10 MONTHS?!
