BMW and MINI are bringing Spotify – the world’s leading music streaming service – into the car, delivering the perfect music for every journey. Spotify already brings you the right music for every moment on your computer, your mobile, your tablet and your home entertainment system.
Starting today, all Spotify users on iOS - both free and Premium - can enjoy a seamless music experience to BMW and MINI drivers:
- Access your own music and playlists or use features like Radio and Browse to find the perfect music for every mood and moment
- Enjoy an intuitive viewing experience on the car's high-resolution Control Display
- Comfortable and safe to use with the iDrive Controller
- Premium subscribers can enjoy extra high quality on-demand music (320kbps) - which sounds great on the car's audio system - as well as ad-free and offline listening.
"We're very excited to be partnering with BMW to bring Spotify to their line-up of Premium automobiles from today", said Jorge Espinel, Spotify's VP Global Business Development. "BMW ConnectedDrive brings the popular features of the Spotify mobile app to life in the dashboard with safe access to all the music you could ever want. Whether you want to listen to your own music, browse for a curated playlist, or just sit back and enjoy Spotify Radio, Spotify will always deliver the perfect music for any journey."
Smartphones and apps in your car.
With the aim of enabling safe and comfortable use of apps in cars, the BMW Group was an early driver of smartphone integration and has already certified numerous apps for access in BMW and MINI vehicles. These apps have been optimised for use during a journey, can be operated via the iDrive Controller or MINI Controller without distracting the driver and are viewed in the Control Display or the MINI Centre Instrument respectively.
