Cloud Based Music Apps (Android)

exclusivo · 05-20-2014, 03:45 PM

Anticipating the arrival of my new car, I am wondering if I use a cloud based music app, such as Google Play, will I be able to see the song name and album art on the idrive screen? Will the playback be able to be controlled using the idrive controls? Ever since switching over to cloud, I have stopped downloading music completely.

Yep. works fine with my nexus 5 over BT. Via USB cable it's very cranky.

If using Google Play over BT, you will see the Title, Album, Artist info

No Album Cover art. You can achieve that through the USB drive
