Spotify Working in the Background via MINI Connected
Ok, this is going to be shorter than the essay I just typed because the app erased my entry when I left it to check which version of iOS in running, but here's the gist.
I was under the impression that, when connected via USB to MINI and using MINI Connected, Journey Mate, or Spotify (through MINI Connected, not Bluetooth) these apps had to be running in the foreground. Today I was able to run both Journey Mate and Spotify in the background, run Waze in the foreground and have no issues. I was even able to still control Spotify from the head unit while Waze was in the foreground. I'm running iOS 8.2, haven't upgraded to 8.3 yet. Is this normal, or am I special?

I also have iOS 8.2 and that's not happening with my Mini connected. Can't run anything in the background. I'm now on 8.3 version but I don't think that will make any difference unless the application code for Mini connected has been programmed to allow apps running in the background.
I'd say you have something special
