Just imagine how comfortable it would be to listen to Spotify through the car speakers and switch between songs with the help of the iDrive controller. Or what about a Pandora podcast instead? The truth is that it’s very easy to arrange with our BMW Apps activation.
We add the Spotify and Pandora iOS apps to your iDrive system so that you won’t need to glance at your iPhone screen every time you want to change song. Just use the iDrive controller instead.
Using requires the BMW ConnectedDrive app. Please note that BMW has discontinued the ConnectedDrive app and no longer supports the majority of apps on the BMW Apps platform, including messaging and navigation. To use apps other than Spotify and Pandora, we would always recommend activating CarPlay in your BMW instead.
