I came from an Iphone 4 and have Kenwood DNX99x0 installed in two cars. I tried using Pandora with my kid's ICS phone and it worked perfectly so I assumed it would work with Note 2. NOT.
Apparently, Note 2 has a newer version of Bluetooth version 4 which the Kenwood cannot handle. Contacted Kenwood tech support and no help. They will not support it as the force you to upgrade to their newer models - Kenwood sucks in this respect. They are busy fighting with Crapple's new connector too.
If you use the "bluetooth" audio setting on the radio, Pandora will work but you will not see any album art, not be able to change you stations, but will be able to pause and play from the radio.
What I ended up doing to get the radio Panador interface working is connecting my old Iphone 4, refreshed with new IOS connected to the old Kenwood Iphone cable with WIFI turned on in airplane mode. I have the wonderful new ROM that let's me wifi teather so the the old Iphone goes through the Note 2 to connect to internet and Pandora works perfectly. I am sure you could do similar with any older phone.

Im using Kenwood KDC-X996 / KDC-BT952HD And Bluetooth works fine. Pandora does not work on the Note2 But it does work on the Note1, S3. It has something to do with JB. And the Pandora on these headunits allow trackskip and thumbs up and down.

Hi guys, question. My Nexus plays music through my aftermarket stereo fine through bluetooth but my annoyance is that the info doesn't show up. ie artist name, songs etc. While my ipod shows it all. I've read that it's just bluetooth firmware on the stereo/iphone/android but it's still such a pain in the a** that Iphone has the benefits while Android being better doesn't get as much. =( My question is do any bluetooth guru's out there know of a workaround or way to have info show up. My next step is trying different players etc.
The data needs to be sent by the application playing the music. I've found that Apollo will send this data to the screen on my 2012 Civic, the stock player does not.
I think certain ROMs have the latest bluetooth firmware. I think CM9 does? Not positive. I would also like to know if there was some way to update the firmware, on any ROM.

My GN wont connect for Bluetooth Audio (A2DP bluetooth receiver plugged into car ipod dock) - I have tried and tried, different roms, etc, no luck - my 3 year old Droid X works just fine, but my 8 month old Nexus wont connect - WTF. I enter password, get error that unable to pair.
My phone pairs to the car bluetooth phone no problem, but will not pair to audio.
Any suggestions???
Thanks!
I have probably not so unique situation.
My Honda allows for calling via bluetooth but not audio streaming. I use an old Blackberry Gateway for that which works perfectly when I had my Samsung S2.
With the Note, the BB Gateway connects and streams audio fine but the car cannot maintain a constant connection at the same time.
I use A2DP volume (which is pretty awesome for free) to force connection attempts. If the BB gateway is not connected, the car maintains its connection. It seems the Note2 cannot do both.
Does anyone have similar problems or a work around? Or maybe know if the new leaked update fixes this? I heard it does update something about BT...
I'm stock rooted BTW

I'm having the same problem. I have a 2006 Pontiac GTO with a Kenwood touch screen and my Note 2 will connect fine, and it will stay connected with no issues until I switch to another playlist, artist, or song. That's when it seems to just disconnect itself and then, about 30 seconds later, reconnect itself.
I've tested this on stock unrooted (LJ1 and LJC), stock rooted (LJC and LK8), Jellybomb v10.2 and v11 (LJC), and H20 beta's 2.1 and 3.1 (LK8) with no luck. I also just recently started trying to use A2DP volume and it definitely helped with displaying the correct song name, artist and album (it wasn't changing when the song would change prior to using A2DP) so it's definitely an improvement but...
Considering how much I drive and how much I LOVE music this is becoming an area of major concern. If any of the amazing developers, or anybody for that matter, has any words of wisdom, suggestions, fixes, etc. it would be HUGELY appreciated.

I'm having similar problems with certain roms. Only my truck is a Chevy not Honda. Using blackberry audio gateway. The "Note Card 2.2" rom works perfect for me, along with JellyBomb. I didn't like JellyBomb. I want to switch to another. I need to spend time and found out what is different between the working and non-working Roms. I had the same problem with my EVO 4g. Some Roms worked perfect, others acted up.
First of all, CleanROM is a wonderful ROM. I have installed it on my ATT Note 2. :good:
However I have one slight problem if you guys can help me figure it out.
My bluetooth connects perfectly to my car stereo (A Brand New Pioneer made in July 2012). I can make phone calls perfectly, but I cannot play media via bluetooth. Meaning, when I try to play music it does not send a signal to the radio.
I made some troubleshooting steps to no avail:
1. The bluetooth Media option is checked under the bluetooth settings.
2. The car stereo works perfectly with my rooted Galaxy S II with Stock ROM 2.3.5 (phone + media)
3. My Note 2 fails to send media signal to my GF's new car Stereo (2013 model). Hence this is NOT an issue of an outdated bluetooth receiver. Again here, the same issue: it connects when making phone calls, but no media playing.
4. I even unpaired all other devices from the stereo to no avail.
I am starting to think it is an issue with the ROM..Is there an app I can download or some patch to fix this, or should I try a different ROM.
It took me 2 days to finally set up everything on my phone and I would hate to have to erase all and start all over.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

I'm having the same problem different radio.
I've have a GS4 & a GN2 and both send metadata just fine for me over bluetooth, such as my modded pandora that will send the track info, Well on my GN3, metadata crashes bluetooth sent by pandora & spotify. Google's Music Player sends just fine. I've came across a few others with the same issue as well, I've tried using the stock Pandora player to see if Android 4.3 implemented the AVRCP 1.3 correctly and no metadata was transmitted. Has anyone came across this issue?

I have an ATT SM-N900A Note 3 and have tested it with my Ford Focus 2013 and I have the same problem. No track data is listed. Where is used to work when I would use my Galaxy S3 phone running a stock Android 4.3 rom. I have a similar thread going in the ATT Gnote 3 forums.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2473555
On a side note (pun intended) I had a buddy of mine bring his Tmobile Note 3 over to test on my car and I got the same results. I was able to see texts messages, but I got no track metadata sent over from either Pandora or BeyondPod where it works with my previous phone.
Hope that helps confirm the issue here for ya as well.

I noticed the same thing. It worked great on 4.3 AOSP ROMs on my Note 2 but not on stock 4.3 on Note 3.

I've tried all versions of pandora modded AVRCP & all crashed bluetooth on my TMO Note 3, I've heard the same for modded spotify as well. No issues with any other phones though. I've tested on multiple bluetooth receiving devices, the newest modded pandora will crash bluetooth when its not even connected. Only crashes when meta data is sent.
This is frustrating
Any idea how we can fix this?
Unfortunately, I'm thinking we may have to wait for custom Roms, or a fix from Samsung. Either way, I hope we get something quick.

T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3 and having the same problems. I can stream music to my pioneer avh-x8500bhs but no data is being shown. If I use the google music app it works fine. I also noticed that the appradio app does not connect at all through bluetooth. I am thinking that somehow it is connected to this problem. I tried custom roms and custom kernels but still not working correctly.

I have the same exact issue with Pandora. I didn't know what was causing it so I submitted a ticket with Pandora and nothing was able to work. This functionality was working when I had the Note 2. Hopefully Samsung comes out with a fix for this.
I have a brand new 2015 Hyundai Sonata, and my girlfriends Galaxy S5 can send metadata and track info to my stereo no problem (using google play music). My new Galaxy Note 4. refuses to send the track info... I've tried using the AutoAudio app which will allegedly fix the problem, but that didn't help. I also tried using Poweramp and the stock music player as well, hoping that something would work, and nothing does. However, my dash unit and steering wheel can CONTROL the phone, just not display what it's doing.. So it appear AVRCP is working but not bluetooth metadata.
It's such a minor thing, but it's driving me nuts. Any ideas?
Bump -- I also noticed the sound quality over bluetooth (for the same files) is way worse with my Note 4.
I get the same problem on my 2012 Mazda 3. My understanding is it's a problem with Bluetooth 4.1 compatibility. It makes no sense as it is supposed to be backwards compatible, but it's pretty regularly reported that many car stereos aren't fully compatible with the latest Bluetooth spec and this is the result. Bothers me too. If anyone is able to get it working, please share. I'm certainly interested in a solution.

So Hyundai themselves actually called me and said that my headunit is running some really old Bluetooth stack... So old that the new version of bluetooth isn't that far backwards compatible.. It will play audio, but at a lower quality and without metadata.. They said the headunit software manufacturer (MNSoft) might have a firmware update, but they generally only do those for nav systems.

I googled MNSoft and what showed up for me was the mapping software that Hyundai uses. Would that really have to do with Bluetooth and metadata? I have a 2013 elantra with nav. I get no metadata on my screen either. Sound quality is great though since mine does come with the upgraded sound system.

2011 mazdaspeed with nav here. Same results. Haven't called for update
Last I heard from Mazda, they can't (or won't) update the software. They consider it done. I find that aggravating as cars should last longer than phones and the radio isn't easy to change out
