Spotify now supports BMW Apps

If you update your Spotify iPhone app, it will now appear in iDrive as a BMW App with its own interface and you can control next/previous properly on the steering wheel with track info.

I've always just blue toothed spotify, sirius, rdio, tune in, etc, why would you need for them to be apart of Bmw apps, am I missing something here? Data usage maybe, tmobile I just go unlimited, cheap. ,and controlling comes up on HUD.

Unfortunately doesn't support Search track. Looks like they don't want us to type to not crash... And then blame Spotify. Or as per some BMW Apps developer guidelines.

You can't control using the steering wheel buttons. Pretty sure album art will show up. Sound quality should be much better too.

It's just annoying that every time you plug in, you have to reset the BT for music when you unplug.
