Spotify Playback Issue
Intermittently, Spotify playback (not via CarPlay) contains static and the playback speed is rapid - maybe 1.5-2x. CarPlay playback is fine. Phone playback is fine. Anyone else notice this?
Using iPhone 6, current iOS in '17 M2.

Spotify and carplay have done a few funny things for me but not exactly the above. more just freezing or not playing the song selected or the wheel spinning and spinning and it never actually playing the song. Have to shut the car off and restart to get rid of it. texting and phone calls though have been flawless.

Same thing happens occasionally (very rarely to be too concerned) in my other car. Quitting the app and restarting it resolves it.

I have read many issues with the Bluetooth and also directly with CarPlay that I just know its small things to live with at this point. It's annoying sometimes but I enjoy more the exhaust sound than the actual sound system so it doesn't drive me crazy.

Yep. Close app and reopen. Bluetooth audio/spotify is very buggy on this version of iDrive. The phone part always connects with my iPhone but sometimes bluetooth audio will never load. Have to delete and re add the phone about once a week to get it back.

When my phone connects to carplay I can't just click spotify and play music. I have to actually load it on my phone itself first and then I can use the idrive system. If I just open spotify on the car and click a song it freezes and does nothing. It's really annoying and I don't understand why it works like this - I thought the point of carplay was being able to treat the screen like the screen of your phone.

Apple music or the media on your itunes on your phone works perfectly - you can ask through the voice button to play specific artists or songs and i haven't had an issue yet. Its only spotify that I have to activate through my phone before it 'unlocks' through the car. Or alternatively if I dont end spotify when I shut off the car it will come back on and work when I start and drive again later. Overall I'm pleased with carplay although it seems silly this is a paid option.

Not using CarPlay doesn't eliminate the ability to send texts handsfree. On iPhone, prolonged hold (maybe 2 seconds) of the voice activation button activates Siri handsfree. Saying "Tell NAME MESSAGE" sends a text to NAME with content MESSAGE. You can also say "Play text messages" to have Siri read your texts.
