Spotify via Bluetooth

B33M3R · 04-21-2011, 05:51 PM

For anyone who hasn't heard of or considered it yet I've been using Spotify Premium for the last week via Blutooth Audio on the iDrive. It's really very good. If they tweak it to display album art it would render the iPod redundant !

Out of interest, is bluetooth playback something which is physically possible on early LCI cars, but just limited by the Idrive software?

With the Spotify free account becoming very limited soon, I've been thinking about subscribing.

I think Bluetooth audio playback only comes with models fitted with the new Combox. From around Oct 2010? Could be wrong. Ideally I would want Spotifys app to replace the iPod via USB but as soon as you plug it in the iPod takes priority.
