I have currently a Deezer Premium subscription purchased through BMW ConnectedDrive. The one feature that is lacking is "Flow". Basically the entire Music Discovery experience is a PITA and especially when you are driving a car you don't have a lot of time to play DJ hence the discovery of music should be better.

I want to request to add "Flow" to the Deezer app available in the BMW Online Entertainment/BMW ConnectedDrive.

There is a problem with many BMW online services. BMW Germany are aware and trying to fix a patch, don't know when.

This has got to be a no-brainer... in car navigation of music isn't easy at the moment and this would go a long way to improve it.

Hi there, sorry for the very late reply.

The app in BMW is actually not developed by us. You should suggest this to BMW as we are not able to change this unfortunately :/

Sorry about that, but keep the suggestions coming. We should be able to make others happen 😉

I also find it frustrating that flow is not available on my BMW. I have the Deezer app on my phone, which then comes up under "Phone Apps" in my car, so how is this something BMW has to implement? Do they install some 3rd party app (on iDrive) when they detect a supported app on my phone, or is the functionality somehow derived from the app hosted on my phone?

I am considering extending my BMW Online Entertainmaint subscription but first I need to know from others whether the iDrive app for Deezer has been extended to included 'Flow' support? I need a feature similar to Spotify's "Start Radio" and Apple Music's "Start Station". What I want is for example search for a specific song and have the Deeze app in my BMW automatically start playing similar songs.

At this moment there is no flow available, but you can play similar tracks to the one you are listening to right now.
