Some time ago, maybe a couple of weeks, there was some update to the BMW app. (Android)

Now, if I happen to have an appointment in my calendar, whenever I enter the car it starts navigating automatically. Even if I stop navigation it resumes by it self after a minute or two.

Has this happen to anyone else? I also thing that the same update is responsible for completely breaking my spotify connection which hasn't been working in about the same time. Whenever I click the spotify icon in the iDrive the screen just turns black.

The bluetooth connection still works though so I can manage but it was nicer when spotify worked and I could browse playlists etc.

Man this app has a life of its own..

Something similar happens when you enter a destination on the app. It's great as it transfers that route to the car and starts your navigation. It's less great that it keeps doing that for the same route every time you start the car. I had to delete the destination from my phone to make it stop. Maybe the appointment thing is similar?

I finally deleted the app. A few updates ago they made a change that would auto launch the app on my phone every time the phone connected to the car. Maddening. I couldn't take it anymore and bid the app farewell. If i really need to unlock the car remotely or something, i can just reinstall, unlock and uninstall.

Yeah, I think my app started to autostart about the same time as spotify stopped working...

In the app go to settings and disable calendar integration.

Weird, I cannot find this setting anywhere in my settings...
