ConnectedDrive Apps not running on my iDrive (Spotify)

baidoc · 12-15-2018, 03:54 AM

Hi guys,

So I've installed the Connected Drive App on my iPhone and it says that my BMW (f30 2013) supports all the Apps listed there (Spotify, Audible etc)

... but whenever I try to play something on Spotify, it won't open any App on my NBT iDrive.

I've seen on Youtube, there's a Spotify App developed especially for BMW iDrive, where you can see your playlist and such directly on the Display.

How could I get the App running on my BMW? Is there a trick or something? I even subscribed to Connected Drive, I thought that will help, but no luck.

BMW Apps FSC Code? I've updated 2 weeks ago my Maps and I bought an FSC Code for it. Is this a different FSC Code?

You need the optional equipment "Apps" SA 6NR (Sonderausstattung "Apps").

Why the hell do BMW try and milk their customers wherever possible, boils my piss, especially when other manufacturers have been offering these for years and they also work much better.

Hmm, looks like I don't have it. And yet, the App says those Apps are supported on my BMW. Weird.
