ConnectedDrive app. question

[650Beemer]

Recently purchased a 2016 650 gc with the m sport edition.

I am curious if we can add new apps to the connecteddrive? (ex.Spotify) and use the existing 3g connection to stream music without a phone.

also looking for some tips on what to do with the connected drive feature.

thanks guys

Well I kno you can add Spotify but idk how it works wit the car but I have all the connected drive features I say the only thing I use is online for street view n real time traffic and if I'm lazy to enter the address in navigation I use connected drive from my phone much faster lol

Apparently there is an issue with the app store and the car being in Canada.

Still reading up on it to see if the issue has been resolved.

It's really hard to find solid reviews on the Connected Drive. I'm thinking about dropping the $50/year for real time traffic. Live in Southern California, so may be paying just to be constantly pissed that it is always red. Seems easier than pulling out my phone and using Waze though. Thoughts?

Real time traffic works wonders in NYC for me that's y I have it seems more accurate than waze to me
