How does Spotify detect that it is a BMW 7 series?

Hi,

There are many posts on how BMW owners are having stability issues with ConnectedDrive, including one from a BMW engineer who has tested it with other models, and confirming the same hardware (used in 7 series) is used in these models. The reply from Spotify has been it is only supported on the 2016 BMW 7 series.

Does Spotify somehow managed to verify the VIN from a database to determine if it is indeed a 7 series? Does anyone know a 7 series owner who can test the integration of Spotify?
