Music Controls (Not Spotify)

Is it possible to control iOS music (not spotify) from the FR945?  I want to control my playlist/volume playing from my iPhone to a connected BT speaker.  I could do this with my FR935 but the only music controls I can seem to find on the 945 just control the onboard Spotify.  

Thanks!

    Should be possible if I understood you correctly  .. I can control volume/playlist etc for my BT headset from the watch, so it should be the same for a speaker. To get to that menu at any time, long-press down.

    FWIW, I don't use Spotify, this is with podcasts/playlists I've synced over from iTunes (under Win 10)

    When I press long down it just brings up spotify.  Maybe it's because I set it up?

    Do this from the watch face:

    1) Long press UP to get to settings
    2) Scroll down to Music, press START/STOP
    3) Press START/STOP again to select Music Providers
    4) Select Control Phone, press START/STOP

    Music control should now work just like it did on your FR935 (except that you can long press DOWN from any screen to get to music controls).

    Perhaps .. not sure since I don't have that service I didn't set it up.

    Awesome, thanks.
    I opende a thread some time ago, anybody answered. Yours is the solution.

    I need it to control music after workouts in the bathroom streaming from the mobile to the multiroom system.

    Pretty big problem: if your headphones get disconnected, Garmin won't let you stop playing music.  It insists on connecting to your headphones first, in order to stop playing!!!  Very dumb.

    Your answer is for another question?
    This was about controlling music on the mobile phone!

    I think the watch stops the playback if the headphones get disconnected. Mine does it.
