Deezer Native App & BMW OS9 Issues

I’ve been using Deezer on BMW OS 9 (native app). Deezer Version 3.0.0.1, BMW OS version 11/2025.50

Some little quirks that I’ve noticed that I’d love to be reviewed/updated:

  1. Limited number of Flow options - for example; Dance/EDM flow is not listed in the options
  2. Last Played often doesn’t update or sync. For example; if listening on my iPhone or Mac then I go for a drive, the BMW App doesn’t update what I was last listening to so I can resume the playlist etc. also happens when picking a playlist in the BMW app. Recents don’t update. 
  3. Slow interface (at times): In optimum conditions, picking a playlist sometimes takes a several seconds to load - by contrast, Spotify BMW app loads music almost instantly. 
  4. More options to quickly select music: Add options like Home, Explore, Favourites that replicate the iOS and Mac experience - makes it more consistent and easier to use when driving to find music I like. 
  5. Add Mixes inspired by or Artist Radio/Mixes options like the Mobile App. 

Overall, I do enjoy Deezer, and as I prefer to use BMW Native over CarPlay, I’d love the app to get some more love to keep it fresh.

Hi,

 

I have a Mini with MiniOS 03/2026.54 and the same version of Deezer 3.0.0.1.

I also have the sync issue with last played and my librairy (playlists added don’t appear, onyl the one present when logged in are displayed).

The overall experience is very good (better than Spotify in some points). Only this sync issue make this wrong from my point of view.

Best regards, Andry

I have BMW OS7 I believe (2019 X5). Deezer often takes minutes or more to load up on CarPlay, and frustratingly for the past half a year will only play 6 tracks and then freeze. As of yet Deezer support has offered no solutions. I transferred all my tracks to Apple Music a couple of weeks ago (entire process took less than a couple of hours for nearly 10,000 tracks). Apple loads nearly instantly on CarPlay and plays endlessly on road trips. Frustrating. As an aside my brother just switched to Tidal, with thus far no issues.
