Spotify's recent update to 4.2.0 on Oct 20 has made compatibility with BMW connected drive very unstable over USB to my iPhone 5s.

I had no issues before the update, now I cannot change the song or browse playlists. When I press next song there is a ~1 minute delay until the song changes. I also notice my iPhone 5s (iOS 9.0.3) gets very hot after being connected for 10 minutes. In addition, album art and song information lag far behind song changes. BTW, my car’s connected drive software is at MX-003.005.004 and TX-003.005.008 (aka. up to date)

So my current situation is: plug in my phone and a random song plays, then another one…etc. - I have no more control from there.

These are all new symptoms since the update 4.2.0.

Please fix this issue! Let me know if you need any more information. Thanks

EDIT:

I performed a soft reset on my iPhone for the first time in years; hold home and sleep button until apple logo appears. So far that seems to have resolved the issue. I will update if the issue comes back again.
