BMW ConnectedDrive not working

[AshAlex34]

Hey everyone,

If you're having issues with BMW ConnectedDrive, we recommend you reach out to BMW about this.

Make sure your devices are always up to date. 

Have a nice day!

Try installing Spotify version 8.4.77.779 not the latest one from the Playstore

I found myself the apk of the old version.

Just tried in my car 2 minutes ago.

Working fine now !

So, Spotify must solve this in the future !

Exat same problem here. BMW i3 2018 - Samsung Galaxy Note 9

[AshAlex34]

Yup! The other users unfortuntely dont know this....glad its working

[marccarney]

There's a common theme emerging here...

Do we know if anyone from Spotify has acknowledged that there's a problem; and have they passed it to the developers to fix?

Second thread on same issue here:

Please can someone at Spotify fix this asap.

Just a quick thanks for the suggestion to go back to an earlier version. Works a treat! Thanks again 

[chrislhurley]

Just to repeat what Marc has posted. Go to the other thread where the solution is provided. A simple install of an earlier version will immediately start doing what we are wanting - decent app doing what it is supposed to do!

if only Spotify would sort properly instead of users finding a solution!
