When I had my Droid X I would stream songs to my in dash pioneer navigation and the song info would be on the nav screen. When I do the same thing with my galaxy nexus I don't have any info show up. Is there a way to make this happen?
Surprised you can even stream music via bluetooth. I'm having a heck of a time doing the same on my Kenwood DNX8120 with my Galaxy Nexus. It pairs up and everything. Matter of fact the controls (pause, stop, rewind, etc) all work using TuneIn and Google Music. However, I don't get any sound from the car stereo. Spent some time digging around and it seems like i'm not the only one with this issue.

So I have been using and loving Google music and my 5,000 songs on cloud. I have found an irritating bug and am not sure if anyone has the same problem.
I have a head unit in my vehicle that is capable of streaming media via Bluetooth. Anytime I end a call Google music turns back on even after closing it. I have X it out in the notification slide down menu. I even went into running apps and force closed it. Keep in mind before I make the phone call Google music is not on, not in the notification bar and not in recently opened apps. And magically call ends on Bluetooth, and phone restarts Google music and starts playing in my car!
I don't think this happens if I I use google music with my headphones.

Well it really depends on the system in your car. Most systems I have dealt with (Ford sync, Toyota, Chrysler) automatically resume whatever song is playing if connected for Bluetooth audio. If you do not want audio playing through the phone you can just pause it using a command on the steering wheel or on the radio itself.

Yes it is supposed to resume whatever song is playing. i have ford sync for almost two years now and was using Pandora streaming plenty. If I exit Pandora or let me be even more specific, pause a song before I make a phone call, when I end the call the song stays paused or Pandora stays closed until I tell it otherwise. This is not the case for Google music. I press pause then song continues once call ends. I quit the program before call, song continues, force close before call song continues....Technically there should not be any song playing when I told it to stop in the first place.

Hi guys, I really hope someone can point me out in the right direction here.
I just bought my nexus and I love it, except one small thing.
Each time when I use my phone for streaming music over bluetooth to my car the music plays like a charm but when I turn the the car off the music keeps playing on my nexus and it never stops until I manually close the app.
The app turn off by itself or?
I´m using stock rom btw.
Thanx in advance.
I'm streaming music from google music via BT A2DP regularly in my car and the stock player always stops streaming/playing automatically as soon as the BT connection is lost = I turn off the car.
Suspected that it would work as you experience
I purchased a JV KD-R730BT which uses BT to stream audio. It is pretty awesome. The only issue is that the player does not stream the actual MP3 Tag info with certain music apps. I have been using Power Amp which is awesome but nothing on the player. When I use the default music app built into android it does. Anyone else with any experience in this or suggestions?
And what are some other good music apps I might be able to try?
Thanks.

I'm using an Alpine 133BT, which I bought recently and LOVE being able to stream music wirelessly. I've also noticed that not all music apps transmit the ID3 MP3 tag.. I noticed that after updating to ICS, the Google Music app (which I prefer) will send the tag info to the headset. The only issue I have (and might be related to my deck) is that I have to toggle the songname/artist on the deck for each song, the tag info doesn't get updated every time I switch songs. I have to toggle the info off and then on to refresh it on the head unit.. frustrating.
I want to be like you guys when I grow up.
i use a JVC double din BT unit and mine does not transfer any tags to the player either, But Im not sure if its dependant on the phone or the actual head unit

I just ordered one of these from Crutchfield. It's supposed to be in Thursday. Mind if I ask if every connects quickly and properly? Have you tried using the JVC app to control the music?
I have a Kenwood bluetooth unit and it always displays info for songs no matter what app I stream with. Connects very fast and call quality is excellent.

for my exact same setup in my car, when i had my epic 4g no info was transferred from any app, also text message reading wasn't supported so i think the phone has a big role since now with the Epic 4G touch the stock player shows song info.

what apps have you tried? Also can you take a picture of it for us?
Only the stock player transmits song info for me as well. I have tried grooveshark, tune in radio, slacker, mortplayer, miui player, pandora and slacker.

Sorry for the late response.. i totally forgot about my thread here.. (moving around)
For the most part it connects fine. Sometimes it can be quirky but overall it is good. The Voice Talk app automatically opens and when you say the wake up command you can launch the default 'Music' player.
The JVC app to me is garbage. Just use the Voice Talk... set it to listen for the voice prompt on BT connect and you will be fine.
I am a Spotify user and use the app to play/stream music via Bluetooth in my vehicle. With my iPhone 4, the song/band/album names all show up in my vehicle's OSD. On the Note 2 my steering wheel's song skip buttons still function, but I get no more song name/info on my OSD. Is this a limitation of the phone or of the Android version of the Spotify app?

This is most likely the app itself. I had this same issue when installed my new pioneer head unit. I could play music through bluetooth, but it wouldn't say any info. If I played music using the normal android music player, winamp, or apollo, it would show info. Hope this helps!
While playing music on my un-rooted Sprint Samsung Galaxy SIII, every time I unlock my phone the music switches from the headphones I have plugged in to the phone's speaker. When I un-plug and re-plug he headphones or pause and play the music, it switches back into the headphones. This issue is very debilitating as I am often listening to music in quiet places and it's embarrassing when my music starts blaring. Thanks for your help.

I have the opposite problem. When I listen to music on my headphones the music switches to the speakers when the phone locks. I guess you never figured this out. I know my problem is due to the lockscreen app "Widget Locker". When I deactivate it the problem goes away. Guess I'll head over to the widget locker thread and poke around. I'm on an S3 as well.
Edit:
I found a cool workaround by using the Tasker app. I made a profile which disables Widget Locker when i plug my headphones in and enables it when i unplug them. Seems to work pretty flawlessly.
Do you have gapless playback??
