2013 535 Spotify Issues

Hi everyone,

Sometimes when I plug in my iphone the multimedia button/option connects directly to a playlist open in my Spotify app (only allowing next or previous track) and sometimes it gives me the option to control all of Spotify itself (ie search by artist, playlist, etc).

Does anyone know why or what I need to do to always get the complete functionality?

When the vehicle gives me the limited menu, I am connected to Spotify by Bluetooth. The music is playing over the Bluetooth system rather than the USB.

To get the full Spotify menu, I hit the media button and then select Spotify under External Devices. This plays through the USB interface.

To prevent this from happening you can set your phone to handle only calls and contacts, in the the phones settings. Deselect “media.”

You also have to open the Spotify app on your phone and it'll give you the BMW prompt/logo and you click connect/dismiss
