Verizon blocks SPOTIFY, AIRPLAY on iphones? why?
My screen is bigger than yours
Why does VERIZON block everything on Iphone? Spotify, Airplay. IS there a solution
I used to be on verizon years ago then went to AT&T for iphone and came back to Verizon last December with Iphone 4S to be on the same account with my wife.
The first thing that happened is I had SPOTIFY app. For those who don't know Spotify is app, which you download on your computer and on your iphone. For $10 a month you have access to millions of songs which you can stream or save on your iphone. With AT&T, in my BMW, I could control the playlists, the music, could fast forward, rewind, go to next song, go to a different playlist, or via my car's control, which was VERY SAFE. My car's display showed the name of the artist and the song, and the minutes/seconds playing.
When I went to verizon everything ended. Now I must control Spotify from my phone only and nothing is displayed by my car. I have to use the iphone to change everything which is dangerous.
Now with AIRPLAY. For those who don't know you can print off Iphone and Ipad to airplay-certified printers. Today I got one of these printers - HP 1025nw. And sure enough. My iphone cannot find the printer and cannot print to it. my old Generation 1 IPAD (AT&T) immediately found it and printed on it.
Why does Verizon block everything? Is there a solution? I am ready to jailbreak this thing but is that something that is there because it is a CDMA phone? I wish I had a Sprint Iphone to check.

Is it possible that your Verizon iPhone has a newer version of iOS than did your AT&T iPhone? It could be that Apple accidentally borked some of the necessary components to interface with your car.
As for Airplay... I don't have iOS devices anymore but that should not be network-dependent as it operates over wi-fi. Of course if your iPhone was connected only to 3G data and not to your home wi-fi, it would not find the printer.
I've climbed a cellphone tower
Air play works fine on my Verizon iPhone.
I've got more phones than fingers
AirPlay works fine on my iPhone as well.

So much here.Originally Posted by absolutic
Issue 1: Your BMW connects through Bluetooth, not AirPlay. AirPlay only works over Wifi, and never over Verizon, AT&T or any other cellphone carrier.
You need to pair the Bluetooth on your new phone with your BMW to control it. At some point you did this with your old phone. Now you need to do it with your new phone, because your BMW is still looking for your old phone and doesn't know that your new phone is allowed by you to control your car. First, on your iPhone go into Settings and turn Bluetooth "on". Then, read your BMW manual for the procedure you need to follow to pair the car with the iPhone.
Issue 2: There are no Airplay-certified printers. There are Air*PRINT* printers, and NONE of them communicate to your iPhone over Verizon OR AT&T. They communicate over WiFi. You need to go into your iPhone settings and turn WiFi "on" and then connect to your WiFi network (entering the WiFi password if necessary). Then your iPhone will be able to find the printer.
Good luck.
