Ds3 sport, iPhone 5, spotify

[Nev8741]

I pick up my Sport soon which is equipped with Bluetooth and USB.
I have an iPhone 5 and use spotify for my music.
Will spotify play through car speakers and can I control the playlists etc with the cars controls?

I've got an iPhone 4S (iOS 6) and a DSport Plus. Spotify plays fine using Bluetooth and you can use the steering wheel / radio controls to skip tracks. Not sure about playlists as I usually just start one and leave it.

I would imagine it will all work the same with the 5, I'll confirm when I get mine mid Oct.

Excellent just what I was after, many thanks dude

No worries.

I've heard some people have had issues with getting their phone to pair with the car using Bluetooth. My suggestion would be to get the dealer to sort it when you collect the car so you can listen to your music on your drive home

As the above with Bluetooth it's fine and you have your typical play/pause and skip functions via the stereo or steering wheel controls.

However you won't be able to do this with USB as it'll always try and play from the built in Itunes/Music app

Just another quick question, what's the difference between a dsport and the plus, mine is the diesel airdream so does that mean its got stop/start?

[BeefMasta]

Mine's the petrol THP 155, I don't have stop / start and not sure which models do.

I'm sure someone can confirm all the differences but the ones I can remember are the Plus has lots of extras as standard: leather interior, rear parking sensors, auto wipers, auto headlights, lots of chrome exterior bits, uprated hi-fi (with USB, aux-in & Bluetooth).

Hope that helps

That's great, thank you very much.

Nice one that's great, oh well I'm sure I can live without them great sounding features. Thank you very much for your help.

You'll be having too much fun driving the car to notice

[Nev8741]

Well I hope so, I've currently got a diesel 90bhp ds3 dstyle and had a lot of problems with it so Citroen have worked me out a good deal to get into the sport. Are they much better?

[CliveP]

Nev, I love my DSport Plus and I've driven expensive Audis......I think you'll love it (I can't comment on the DStyle as never driven one so hard to give you a comparison between the two answer).

Regards,
Clive.

I've not driven the DStyle but I had the DSport 110 Diesel twice as a rental car last year and loved every second of it. Got it by chance the 1st time and 2nd time had to pay extra to have it (so worth it).

This year I finally got round to getting the mine and love it!

Both the DSports are awesome to drive in every respect. The only downside is that you'll soon crave more power

[CliveP]

Patrick, as you know, I only crave 'clean' and 'perfection', lol....
