I'm in the same boat. I listen to quite a few podcasts on my Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S5). I use an app called podcast addict and while iDrive will recognize the titles and give me a progress bar as I play, it can't be controlled outside of the phone.
I CAN use the forward\back buttons to the right of the presets on the "radio" to skip forward or rewind 30 seconds @ a time.
It might have to do with the directory structure my app uses. It has a directory for each podcast with all the episodes in that folder. I wonder if i can use the previous\next track in iDrive to control that (under audio)? I never really tried.
I'm not glued to this particular podccast app, so if anyone has one that truly integrates well with our cars I'd jump ship in a hurry.
