USB and Spotify Issues

I am having a issue changing tracks through the steering wheel controls only when plugging in my iphone through USB and playing spotify. This seems to be spotify related as music stored on my phone can be changed and is displayed in a list form in the cluster. I am able to change the tracks through the knob or trackpad just not the steering wheel controls. BT audio works just fine.

Anyone else using spotify on a iPhone and connecting through USB?

Sorry I can't help you with this issue. I use Apple Music only and it works just great. I'm biased towards any Apple product and service, especially since I own Apple stock.

Not using Spotify. I did have all my CD’s transferred to 32G USB drives. They are lossless, uncompressed .WAV format. One 32G USB drive holds about 50 CD’s in the .WAV format. They work perfect in the MB USB slots, all controls work as designed. They make the money I spent to get the Burmester 3D system worthwhile.
