So you guys are not only disabling old phones, but also the older cars with the Spotify feature.
But Now, even tho car playing the songs thru the speakers, Bmw's own spotify App doesnt show Album Covers and saying Spotify is not available on the iDrive Screen. Before the depreciation, bmw logo n sporify logo was popping up and iphone 4S was making legal disclaimer for the Spotify. Luckily even tho the car is old, you can still use usb cable with iphone 14 pro to open its own Spotify App on iDrive.īut the reason i use 4S is it comes with 32 pin socket which has Analog Video Output and you can watch videos thru the phone using the BMW's original Media Cradle.Īnd the issue i am having with 4S ,it doesnt recognize the bmw anymore while iphone on the cardle. Thats a built in app which pops up as soon as iphone connects to bmw via USB cable or Phone Cradle. If any of you familiar with the BMW knows that Combox and head unit grabs the connection from the iphone and opens its own app on the iDrive (Bmw Entertainment Screen). The problem with the 4S even tho i can listen Spotify, first of all there is a reason i keep the older gen Apples and the reason is older gen BMWs. But iphone 4s n 5s still working normal as of 3/15/23. The Iphone 4 i have got the same error as you guys mentioned here. Iphone 5s and Iphone 4s for the older gen BMWs. Iphone 13 pro for the new generation BMW. I do have 6 phones and 3 of them serves for the cars.
