BMW connect drive classic

Taxdr1965 · 11-12-2016, 05:33 PM

So I downloaded the BMW connected drive classic to try and get some of my apps on the idrive screen so I can access them through idrive.

It says I have pandora, but does not show up under connected apps.

I have a s Samsung note 4 .

Does anyone have the apps running through idrive?

If so what am I doing wrong?

Yes, I run apps through iDrive. Mostly Spotify and news feeds. Works fine. I'm on an iPhone, though.

Car looks great - beautiful! I hope she is treating you well.

I am also in the iPhone camp so I am not going to be much help with the apps. But perhaps try with the phone connected via USB opposed to Bluetooth if you haven't tried?

It works through Bluetooth, but evertyime I wanna change stations have to do it through phone instead of idrive

Correcting my earlier statement, I now, too, seem to be having problems launching apps under the Connected Classic. I can still launch Spotify manually on the phone, and then control it through iDrive. But I can't call it up anymore under ConnectedDrive.

However, BMW has a new version of the Connected app out there (the one with the blue logo), and that seems to work just fine.
