iOS 10 Bluetooth stream to BMW Connected Drive

Hello, 

 

I am experiencing an issue with displaying track title and correct album art information when streaming from iPhone 7 to my BMW. The connected drive system will only display the track name and album art information of the first track played when connection was established. Bluetooth has to be disconnected and re-connected to change the displayed information. 

 

Both myself and the wife recently changed from Android devices to new iPhone 7s. This was never a problem with our android devices, although android is not programmed to display album art informaiton, the song title was correctly displayed. 

 

I did some research on the forum and found this was an issue discussed back in 2015

The proposed solution was to make sure the onboard connected drive system and bluetooth drivers are up to date. I tried this without any further success. 

 

I should also mention that the integration works perfectly when the USB cable is connected to the car.

 

I am not sure if this is a BMW or a Spotify issue, however appreciate any help I can get. 

Thanks
