That's what this does but with Spotify.

If you do have a separately billed data plan from AT&T, for your vehicle, then you can use that to stream music but not with the basic ConnectDrive inclusive with your vehicle. However, if you have something to prove otherwise, let's see what you got. https://connecteddrive.bmwlaunchpad....ices/bmw-music From BMW's official website, 5 seconds ago: |

Hi,
What is going on? Is this available in US? I'm asking because I just checked & it is not shown on Connected Drive site for my car

All you did there is add the individual APP to your vehicle interface, it's still using your phone for the data connection for Spotify, hence the reason you had to scan the QR code to pair your phone. Prior to this, on iDrive 7, you would have to fire up Apple CarPlay to get all the APPS to load (See below). All BMW did there is separate the Spotify APP from CarPlay but your phone is still in play here. The ConnectMusic plan uses the its own data connection, without a feed from your phone, which is currently not available in North America.. |

No, the phone is NOT paired at all. The code is there for an easy way to login, but you can also do a manual login as you can see in the last screenshot.
Look, man - it is alright to be incorrect. There is nothing wrong with that, now you know. Also, this appears after updating BMW Assist. It has nothing to do with "adding it on your own." |

Since the images didn't work for you, here is a video. In the video, I show you that absolutely no phones are paired to the car. https://streamable.com/rjydo |

I used the manual login rather than the QR code. Also, I've used the car's Spotify with the phone in airplane mode and all the phone's wireless radios turned off. So, Spotify is definitely not coming from the phone, and the phone is not being used for the data connection. I do have a wireless data plan for the car, so I can't say for sure whether it's using my data plan or the car's proprietary one. Last edited by daveshan; 02-22-2020 at 01:22 PM.. |

If you have a data plan from AT&T/Connectdrive, then yes, it's using that for that for the music feed. Those that doesn't opt for the specific additional data plan, your phone would be require for music streaming, as I alluded to several times.. |

If you don't have a data plan from AT&T, independent from the Connectdrive service, the Spotify music won't work. Had you mention before you have a separate data plan from AT&T, then I would of agreed with you. ConnectMusic is separate from the AT&T data plan, which is still not available in the US. https://www.bmwblog.com/2020/01/29/b...ming-solution/ |

BMW is not just going to allow you stream data without paying one way or the other. The regular ConnectDrive plan doesn't allow music streaming. Had you mention, as the other poster did, that you have a separate data plan, then that's obviously where the music feed is coming from. In Europe, you don't need a separate plan from AT&T, since Connectdrive has a plan called ConnectedMusic. BMW did separate the Spotify APP from CarPlay, regardless if you have an independent data plan or ConnectedMusic. |

Thanks to all who contributed on this topic. Until someone mentioned having a wireless plan for his car, I couldn't understand why I couldn't access Spotify as a separate Media source on I Drive. I don't have wireless data for my car; only for my phone. Makes perfect sense, finally!

I've tried a few suggestions here and I still can't get it to show on my car.
When I use Spotify through Bluetooth I don't get album art and would love to have the App. Not sure what to do. |
