Guys a quicky, is the GNEX running android 4.3 and streaming music to my car's stereo via google play music supposed to send metadata to it?

Actually it doesnt work even with other music players... So Google marketed android 4.3's major news in the form of Bluetooth AVRCP 1.3 and the new OpenGL, neither of which are actually supported by our phone?
raidews done
works for me
but on
CyanogenMod 10.0 and 10.2
but something went wrong betwen nighties august 16 and 22,
its now crashing
I have yet to see any metadata tags on a CM10.2 nightly on my Play Store GNex as well. Bluetooth audio works just fine, but no metadata is appearing yet.

So I am having a slight issue that I was hoping someone might be able to help me out with. I recently put on ics-deck-inc alpha 5 and everything for the most part is working great. One things that I am still struggling to get to work is Bluetooth streaming metadata to my head unit in my truck. The phone will stream the music no problem, but the metadata doesn't show up.
I have tried using the stock music player that came with ics-deck-inc and the new CM9 music player that was released recently and neither will stream metadata. I should mention that when I was using the stock player on CM7 the metadata streamed fine to my head unit. Also, I can get metadata to stream via Bluetooth to my head unit when using Pandora on ics-deck-inc. I am not sure if it has something to do with the Bluetooth stack (?) or just a limitation of the music player software.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
so... I think I've narrowed down my issues with newer ROMs coming out and my bluetooth not working in the car anymore. just a little background information,
- 2011 Toyota Camry SE w/ JBL Audio
- Verizon Galaxy Nexus using various ROMs
prior to any newer releases, I would use voice/audio over bluetooth, ran great without a problem. I didn't get metadata on screen but was ok. pandora, spotify, notification sounds, google music, etc... worked like a charm.
well... now I noticed that only voice calls & google music work over bluetooth connection in the car. I thought this was first an issue with pairing the device to the car, so I deleted all the profiles in the car and redid connection on phone. I still couldn't get sound out of any other media application i.e.; pandora, youtube, notifcations, spotify, etc... I could only get google music to work correctly. the apps not working look like they are playing, I turn off bluetooth on phone and it continues playing, but when bluetooth is on I hear nothing.
so after researching, I see that majority of new releases include AVRCP 1.3 which pushes metadata to the displays. I noticed this now works with google music, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get other media services working properly. I've researched on RW, Google, other Android forums and can see some have similar issues, but the thread soon dies. [/background]
can anyone tell me if I can use an updated ROM with AVRCP 1.0 instead of AVRCP 1.3 to test? does anyone have suggestions I could try to get other media services working? thanks!

I think it's AVRCP 1.3 in CM 10 based roms that breaks this. I just switched to jelly belly 9 (4.1.2) which rolled back bluetooth profiles back to AVRCP 1.0 and pandora etc. works but without media info obviously. I also saw a AVRCP 1.3 patch for Pandora somewhere that may make it work. It's possible that the problem isn't that the ROM is not compatible, but that the Apps aren't.

Ok... I've confirmed it has to be AVRCP 1.3
Last night I took advice. I installed Jelly Belly 9 "4.1.2" w/ reverted AVRCP 1.0 because of BT issues, and this morning I went to work, tested connection with BT and everything worked! So... Looks like the issue lies with AVRCP 1.3. I don't see metadata on screen anymore but it doesn't bother me, I'd rather have all other media players working.
To touch on what others are saying, statements Google Music works perfectly fine with AVRCP 1.3 based ROM's as well as voice through BT. It's just the other media players i.e; pandora, slacker, youtube, notifications, etc.... that don't work. I'm guessing from what I read, is that the applications do not support AVRCP 1.3 and will not push to Toyota head units properly. Not sure if this is going to get fixed or not, but sucks because this limits what I can/can't use for ROMs at least a solution was found and reason why. Thanks bud!
You could also try https://github.com/loganakamatsu/PandoraAVRCP for the Pandora patch. Maybe patches exist for other apps as well...
I read on another thread that any app that supports the Scrobble Droid API hxxp://code.google.com/p/scrobbledroid/wiki/DeveloperAPI will pass the meta info to AVRCP. So I assume if you install ScrobbleDroid app hxxps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.jjc1138.android.scrobbler&hl=en from the play store any app that it is compatible with will also pass the meta info to the display.
As noted, Pandora is not supported as it does not broadcast its intents. I personally had issues getting the PandoraAVRCP github to patch. If anyone has a patched pandora.apk, I would certainly appreciate a PM.
Good luck.
I was wondering if anybody could tell me if their Bluetooth in car setup displays the song info on their display in-car. If it does, what app are you using? I am using Doubletwist and it doesn't display the song info in my car. I'm pretty sure its not a limitation in the car, more an app issue.
So, I guess ultimately, a list of music player apps that send song info over Bluetooth in-car is what I am looking for.
I think only a custom ROM like AOSP and CM10 can actually do this.

I have all my music loaded into Google music and since Sprint is horribly slow I rarely stream music while driving, I use a thumb drive or CD's. I have a Kenwood DNX9180 and I never paid attention to what was on the radios display.
What brand of radio are you using?
I will load some songs on my phone a give it a test. I use to use Winamp as a media player because they had cool internet radio stations.
I would imagine with the A2DP profile it should display song/track info(metadata) and with AVRCP you should be able to control the phone from the radio. It may be a software issue with the radio and not with the phone.
A few weeks ago I installed a Pioneer AVHP2400Bt into a customers car and he had a new iPhone 5. It would not display the metadata on the screen while streaming but with the USB it would. On the website it said Pioneer is coming out with a firmware update for IOS 6.

I am using the stock radio from Honda in the 2012 CRV. I am pretty positive it is an issue with the apps (or like the guy said before thinking you have to be on ASOP or CM10). I am using the paranoid android rom on Verizon gnex now so I dunno. Can anyone test any of these theories out?

Try asking in Honda forums. I have a 2010 Mazda with BT and AUX in, but I've never gotten any sort of text display to show. Even though my car dashboard has buttons for "text" and "disp", they don't do anything.

I read a little further, and it seems what we need is AVRCP 1.3 support (1.0 doesn't cut it) in both phone and car.
Then I found this thread which concludes that AOSP JB doesn't have it, whereas CM ICS ROMs did. Later on, someone ported it to a JB (toro) ROM, and the code was merged into AOKP.
Any AOKP nightlies past 8-8-12 should include them.

It used to display in my car when i had a stock rom on my samsung galaxy s3 and i changed rom to AOSP cyanogenmod 10.1 and now it stopped displaying music info. I think the rom bluetooth feature is not paired correctly

I found that Pandora does send track info via bluetooth but is not usable worldwide. I haven't found another program yet that sends the info.
Can anyone get audio data to stream on to their car via Bluetooth? I've never been able to get it to work regardless of player, phone, or rom.

It is my understanding that CyanogenMod 10.1 (Android 4.2.2) has Bluetooth AVRCP 1.3+ so this stuff should work.

CM10.1 does *not* have 1.3+, yet. Have a look at this: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-20

I had it working on my Galaxy Nexus running CM 10.0. I was using the Gonemad player on my JVC unit that I had installed in my Toyota Matrix. But now with 10.1 it no longer works as per the link mentioned above.
All I can suggest, is starring the issue... maybe google will eventually listen.
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5450
It's currently the 20th most starred issue. I think it should be right up the top.
Same issue. Can only get music to play but no song title/album/etc. I did hear of one guy on a prius forum that got it to show, he used a different rom though. Thinks its liquidsmooth.
So is the reason it wont work because of an outdated bluetooth version?

Actually a completely new bluetooth stack is the main reason the existing code can't be ported.

So its a software fix though right? Im hoping it gets with the whole google IO event coming up..
i noticed that when using bluetooth audio in my car it just says streaming audio even with local music files, but with the stock rom it passed along the songs info so i could see the track info on my deck. with play music. my nokia wp8 would always show the track info whether it was local or streaming...is it a change in how android handles bluetooth between 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 or just how cm10 handles streaming audio? i noticed my tab with cm10 and 4.2.2 does the same thing
