[HOW TO] Spotify Bluetooth (IOS) Bluetooth Lock Problem (SOLUTION)

[AGC4242]

Backstory - Hello my name is Anthony, I've been using Spotify for a LONG TIME! Started when accounts were only Facebook linked! Anyway I made this tutorial to solve an ongoing issue within the Spotify IOS community. Earlier this year I purchased a vehicle in which I wanted to use Spotify via Bluetooth for, but believe it or not whenever I'd try to connect my device, it'd go and play my Apple Music App, I couldn't get this to stop!! Until I continued playing with my vehicle. Most vehicles have this issue it's a software issue between Apple and the vehicle company... At least that's what BMW told me.. Anyways if you have this issue hopefully it can be solved with my tutorial below! (FYI you don't have to have a W for this, that's just the example I have you're essentially "tricking the system" for this to work)

Tutorial -

Step 1.Turn on the vehicle's system  - Have the vehicle preset to the "Media" tab with your iPhone selected already

Step 2. Play or have the vehicle automatically play a random song from your iTunes Library

Step 3. Cancel all other music / streaming type apps (YouTube, Soundcloud, Spotify)

Step 4. Open a clean Spotify (Make sure it was COMPLETELY closed prior)

Step 5. Click a song and Spotify will automatically cancel out any other audio in the background thus playing your Spotify music

Troubleshooting / FAQ -

1.) I hear nothing?!

Switch from Media to Radio with the iPhone still playing the Spotify song then back to Media

2.) It randomly paused at first

This may occur sometimes but just UNpause it or try the solution for question 1

3.) It stopped working when I got back into my vehicle

Restart the process of Step 1 - 5

Any questions / concerns please feel free to PM me and I will be more than happy to assist.
