I use my phone to stream music to my car using BT. Note 3 worked great. So did my one plus one. The note 4 will either show no info or it will show one ong and never update. Im still testing apps but was wondering if this is a phone software problems or does the apps need to be updated to suppoer the note 4?

Mine works fine. I've only used Spotify so far.
I have used the xm app and doubletwist. Going to try Google music next. All these apps worked on my note 3 and one plus one. That's why I asked if the apps need to be updated.
Power Amp/Stock Music Player and Chevy Volt combination works, Power Amp and Honda Odyssey doesn't...haven't tried stock player on the van just yet
I have a 2014 accord.
I get that sometimes on my Note 4 in my BRZ too. This is using Google Play Music. However, the connection is more reliable than my S4 and S5 were, so I'm okay if the song titles don't come over all the time. When I use Pandora, they always update properly.
Hey its good to see someone else having this same issue, I also came from a (rooted) GS4, and everything worked flawlessly through BT, but same as yourself, I have no track info showing up for spotify or tunein radio, like I used to on my s4.
And one other thing, the buttons on my steering wheel that skipped tracks always worked for skipping tracks through anything played through BT on my s4, this no longer works on my note 4.
One other thing I did just want to mention, the track info on the car stereo screen didnt always work, for streaming apps like spotify, that is, until I believe my S4 was updated to 4.3. Never knew why. Track info on players like poweramp just playing track form phone sd card always displayed track info.
me too
Mine does this too but only with google music. Pandora and others work fine.
Pandora also works for me. I will try google music on the way home today.
I had that happen a lot on my Samsung Galaxy S5 too. But only when using Google Play Music.
So I don't think it is a Note specific issue.
Either a 4.4.4 issue (my S5 was on Verizon and on 4.4.4) or a Google Play Music issue.

stock music player and jet audio works fine on 2013 Honda Accord EXL V6
A lot more people are reporting problems with the Bluetooth and meta data, mine has been doing the same thing since day one. Also its the same with all services, rdio, Spotify, play music, tune in radio, sound cloud. I have tested in 8 cars and on my Sonos and other Bluetooth enabled devices and it's the same. I am starting to believe it's the phone. My S4, S5, and Note 1 and 3 all work without issue.
I wonder if all versions of the Note4 have this problem or if it just the ATT version. If all are having this problem then maybe samsung needs to send out and update to fix this.
Mine doesn't have this issue. In my 2012 Ford Focus with Sync, Metadata works perfectly with the stock music player and Play Music.
I used Bluetooth in my car yesterday with 3 different apps. The meta data worked 100% correctly all day.
The new version of Play Music I downloaded yesterday must have had some fixes in it, because Monday that particular app was screwing up the meta data constantly.

I had been looking for this for a long time, and all I could find before were AirPlay receivers for Android.
Today I searched again and was pleasantly surprised to find at least 3 on the play store! All three require root access, but out of all three only one of them worked on my ZL running an experimental build of PAC ROM. It's called AOA and it works like a charm:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nav.aoaservice
AirAudio is supposed to work with CM10.1 but I found it was choppy and crappy with my current kernel. AirAudio installed a service and there are warnings about the phone not booting when the module is installed.
AOA was actually a lot easier to get running, no service installed and it's also cheaper than AirAudio ($2.99 vs $6.99). Check it out if you've always wanted a way to stream music to your AirPlay enabled receivers.
Once running it will stream ALL audio from your device, so you can stream from any app that can play audio. You do have to turn it off to be able to use your headphones or A2DP streaming, but it's a nice start. It would be nice if Spotify and other developers would implement this into their apps to have better control, but this is awesome.
I had been using a Bluetooth receiver for a while but while it works well, I always had to stay nearby to avoid choppy audio. WiFi is much better for streaming music.
You can try the Zappo's solutions.
I used it with AppleTV, Samsung TV and LG TV, it works as very well and can share almost all the content in my phone.
I'm sorry if this is somewhere else but I can't find it.
My S4 used to autofeed Bluetooth meta data to my car audio unit. I think it came with an Android update to 4.4.3.
My G3 came with 4.4.2 and the meta data isn't getting passed.
I can't post the link because I'm a noob, but the app called AutoAudio does it by reading the Now Playing notifications and passing them through to the car audio, but it is cumbersome and must be left running or manually switched on each time music is played.
I could run Tasker or do something NFC tags but I just want it to work and I know it does with a later version of Android.
I would love to know what file allows for this and the edit to make to the file to just make it work.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have the same problem but it's only with Spotify. In doing some research Spotify does not have a good track record with this and considering all other music apps I have used do push the metadata I have to believe it's Spotify.
Slacker doesn't work either. Neither does my audiobook app. These work on my s3 though... Granted that's running 4.4.4

It's definitely a Spotify issue as that's the only music app I use. On my S4 this was fixed with a firmware upgrade. Is the T&T S4 on 4.4.4 or 4.4.3? Whatever it is, the G3 is on 4.4.2 and the data doesn't pass through as it did on my S4.
Again, the autoaudio app DOES work for this, but it's a pain to have to manually start it on a reboot. I would love to just edit the appropriate files and generate a permanent fix if someone could point me in the right direction.
I ended up using Tasker to automate connecting my G3 to my car stereo via BT, start the Spotify app, start autoaudio app. Seemed to work this morning. Not as clean as I wanted, but as the saying goes, it meets the requirement.
Meta data works on a 2013 Accord but throws in some random numbers before song titles.
I have this problem too. Metadata is pushed from the stock music app as well as other .mp3 apps. However Slacker does not push the metadata. Any other ideas out there? I have a 2014 Volvo S60.
Seriously, anybody?
Just realized on my note 4 I can't skip songs or rewind when I am connected to my alpine stereo. I had no issues with my note 3, s3, and even friends iPhones.
This phine has sooo many glitches it's driving me crazy! Also who decided to put the speaker on the back instead of the bottom! So now I can't hear ringtones or music unless my phone is speaker side up. Argh...I think this is going back and I'm staying with my note 3 until the note 5 I guess.
Resolved by updating the firmware on alpine using mac since my PC laptop wouldn't cooperate. More info below...
Weird man mines been working okay on my kenwood BT it just has random song lag. My meta data was coming up though. What app are you using to play music? Im using poweramp
I'm using Google music and if i play an album the data displayed stays as the first songs name but the time works. if its a random playlist the song names update normally. weird
I am using Google music but also tried Samsung music player same thing, couldn't skip. I also tried friends note 4 with spotifa and also didn't skip. Argh. Moved back to my note 3 until an update comes out to fix it or I might sell it and get nexus 6, this is a huge problem.
use Power Amp. the stock apps suck.
Solid Explorer for files, QuickPic for pics, Nova for launcher, MX Player for videos, and you'll figure out your own preferences from there. iphone to Android must be foreign experience stepping out of the walled garden. we've all been there.

I am using Google play music, power amp doesn't stream music and can't read the downloaded Google files. It's just a glitch in the note 4 software
Just wanted to update.... after installing the firmware update for alpine stereos, my note was able to work fine with the stereo, song info shows up and I can skip and fast forward again.
The link is here: http://www.alpine-usa.com/feeds/promo/13hubtupdate
But funny enough my pc laptop would not display the file browser for doing the update but on my MacBook, there was an option to browse files which allowed me to do the update.kinda funny since I am a PC person and bought the mac on a whim and it saved my butt with this update!

It must be nice to have a head unit that the manufacturer hasn't forgotten that it once made. Pioneer tends to drop support for units it's no longer selling.
This issue doesn't seem to have any real logic to it. While my Note pairs with the Pioneer and the steering controls work fine, there's no metadata displayed. Paired to my sister in law's 2013 Enclave, everything works. In my brother's 2014 Lacrosse, it works the same as on my Pioneer... pairing and steering wheel controls with no metadata.
I've read that there are a bunch of changes in how Lollipop handles Bluetooth. I hope the fix lies there.
From what I know..the note 4 uses a newer version of bluetooth, 1.4 or something like that. The note 3 uses 1.3. That update I installed on my stereo had 1.4 support so that's why it worked. I don't think an update to the phone will fix it, the stereo needs the update
Has anyone gotten the phone to send metadata to their car through bluetooth when using Google Music? It seems to work with the default music app. Is there a way to fix this or work around?
Got the same problem with Spotify and Deezer, though the latter does a better job. When streaming Spotify qua Bluetooth to my car radio (original Volkswagen RCD -510) the radio display is just showing the first streamed track name, the following song's names aren't updated correctly...
Got a Galaxy S6 GM920F on Stock Android 5.0.2
Are you steaming the songs or are they downloaded into the phone already?

Streaming doesn't work with Pandora either. It works from time to time with Milk Music.
works fine for me in both of my late model cars, with Pandora and spotify, and google play music
Has anyone figured out a work around if any possible? Weird thing is that it does show meta data for that samsung demo song the phone comes with when it plays with the default music player.
I get both streaming and downloaded or copied music while using a Kenwood DDX 719 unit.
Pandora or Milk.
Also all my contacts while making or receiving calls.

Anyone else using a Note7 with Android Auto? At first the connection to my car was intermittently dropping and then it was OK. I have Pandora, Slacker, and Play Music installed on my phone and active but the only one that shows up in the car is Play Music. I haven't played with it yet but there's not much to troubleshoot - they're either there or there not. My Note5 was 100% perfect with Android Auto so it's definitely something on the Note7 side.
No issues so far but I also don't use those two programs. Perhaps uninstall and reinstall those two programs in the meanwhile?

HTC 10 user here, and have the same issues as you.
I stabilized the BT connection by deleting the pairing on my radio and phone, then plugging in the USB C cable and allowing the car to autopair them together.
I have Play Music and Amazon Prime Music installed, both supporting Android Auto. However only Play Music shows up for me. This was the case on my S7E as well, but not my Note 5. At this point I suspect it's related to the SD820 and/or devices shipping from the factory with 6.0.1. I've been through factory resets more times than I can count, and the same thing happens.
Apps that are restored (IE - Smart Switch) are not showing up on AA... You can uninstall/reinstall and they will show back up.
I tested this for naught im sure while in the chickfila drive thru....

Oh well, Play Music it is. You can open apps from Recent Apps and Pandora and Slacker play fine through the car when controlled from the phone. But the steering wheel controls don't work. So we can only hope that (in my case) when AT&T pushes an update out in six months it gets fixed. It would be great if the Android Auto app on the phone could be the fix but if the problem's been around since the S7e it's unlikely that alone is the issue.

This is interesting, and I'll have to test this when I get back home tomorrow. From the look of your Hazard button, you have a Sonata like me, and I do restore apps through Google on device setup, or Titanium (app only, no data).
Why yes.... I love my Sonata Limited.
And trolling!

I've got all 3 of these on my phone and all work fine from the start in AA. The only AA issue I've encountered is that when on a call I can't figure out how to get it to show the dialer pad. When on a conf. call I get options like to tap *60 to stop the God awful wait music and to hit # after I announce my name. It's weird. I think it's that AA hasn't had an update in a bit so the dialer from the Note 7 isn't fully recognized. I dunno. But 99% of AA works for me.
BTW. I'm using a Pioneer 8100NEX which I doubt makes a diff as the AA server that the phone app connects to is the same in every car on the market and the head unit itself runs Android 4.4.2 just as my wife's '16 Accord does.

Uninstall Android Auto and delete your Bluetooth pairing. Then make sure Google TTS is set to the default on your phone, if Samsung TTS is trying to interfere, you will have this issue. If you cannot disable Samsung TTS, you may need to use Package Disabler Pro from the Play Store to do it for you. I had to do it on my Note 5, but not the S7 Edge.
Once that is done, reinstall Android Auto and then let the USB connection do the pairing for you.
