Been using this for a week too. Hate how the screen has to stay unlocked and the app open for it to work. I don't text and drive but sometimes you have to look at your phone

Fortunately, some of us have unlimited data plans, grandfathered in from over a decade ago.

Fine. Whatever.
I'm just hoping CarPlay will be fully integrated in the '16 models.

Extremely glad they're supporting such an amazing app, but it's not very well implemented now. The fact that it takes over my phone as soon as I plug it in with the USB cable and start playing music has made me go back to simply using an aux cable to listen to music in the car. |

Spotify lets you make playlists with the exact songs you want. It's like iTunes but with any song on earth that you want and you can play whenever you want. They also have streams similar to pandora, but pandora doesn't let you select specific songs. You just have to select the song or artist you songs that are similar to player. |

Bluetooth works perfect in my opinion, 4000 songs on micro SD Card, all through I drive, HUD, etc, cell calls pause music when phone rings, navigation integrates seaminglessly, sound quality awesome, change songs through steering wheel control, and if you have note 4 with flip cover, you can control your music through activity window without ever opening phone cover. And no wires, cords, attaching anything, it all happens automatically with phone even in pocket while entering car. Am I missing something here?
Then if you have to add unlimited data to your plan for about 20 a month, then you can do all of the above from cloud music, Spotify, Sirius, etc etc, and BTW Sirius satellite through app on phone bloothoothed without BMW uncompressing 160 stereo channels, is awesome, ten times the sound quality! Been doing this on a BMW since June of 2007, the BMW app thing kind of a joke. Integration, control, user interface, not quite worthy yet.

Yes I tried it yesterday and it works. However you can't use google maps or anything if you have it running through connected drive as other members have stated.
Does anyone here know if you can run spotify through Bluetooth audio and if so how?

Aye brilliant this!!! My spotify used to work a treat from my phone in my 2013 125i. I don't seem to have app support in my connected drive, so now I can't listen to my flaming music

Its awesome they're adding it but still needs improvement. I noticed this about a week ago.
As many have said, if you use the spotify app, it locks the phone. This is the same as the pandora app. However if you want to use spotify over the bluetooth, or even the usb cable and use your phone, dont select the app in the iDrive. Select USB or Bluetooth and it will still play the audio with limited controls Then again why are you guys needing to use your phone while driving ???
