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

I'm looking at getting a new vehicle. The vehicle has bluetooth connectivity designed for handsfree phone use. I was only briefly able to test during the test drive but there was no problem connecting and using the phone function with the cars Bluetooth but when I switched to the Google Navigation app the voice directions would not play via Bluetooth. I've looked for some kind of internal setting to force this to happen but I don't see anything.
Is it possible to play the Google Navigation voice directions and or Voice Search functionality through a vehicles built in Bluetooth connection?
I thought it automatically did so.

Swyped from Eva running Myn's RLS4!
it does automatically do so...at least in my car...I have a 2011 ford mustang
I believe your car needs to support A2DP for those to play through
Works in my car fine. 2008 Aston Martin Vantage. (Not to brag, that's just what car I have.)

I have to concure with Brian... The newer bluetooth devices have a2d2 support and you might want to check the specifications of the Bluetooth that installed in the car. Alot of the newer bluetooth models are able to be updated. I just purchased the BlueAnt Q1 and it had two firmware updates, one which contained the a2d2 update. Before the update, I couldnt play music or GPS thru my head set - afterwards how ever, I was able to play music and GPS also feeds thru my headset... hope this helps you figure it out..

Yep, it must be capable of A2DP bluetooth streaming. My wife's BT car kit will only do phone calls, no bluetooth streaming so voice directions won't work. I on the other hand have an after market Kenwood headunit that does both and it works great. It's the car/stereo, not the phone.
Also when switch roms i have noticed on repairing with my unit sometimes it just pairs phone audio and a dissconnect and repair gets them.both agian Just a thought

Mine has navigation, yes, however it's the most complicated POS you've ever seen.

I checked the manufacturers website for the 2011 Honda Odyssey (it's no Aston Martin but I have 3 kids under age 2 and need a vehicle that can hold 3 car seats in one row ) and it says A2DP is supported. Honestly I didn't try to make any changes or test anything in the Bluetooth settings. I only tested it with the phone and then started Navigation and it directed output to the built in speaker. I will try it again when I get a chance. Thanks for the help!!!
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.
Has anyone successfully gotten pandora to stream to another device. My car radio doesn't seem to work with Pandora anymore.

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, I hope you guys can help.
I'm looking at buying a Galaxy Note II in the next few days however I've just noticed that, according to Parrot's compatibility list, it doesn't work (or hasn't been tested) with their MKi range of bluetooth hands-free car kits. Now, every other Android phone I've tried has worked fine with it, but I'm a bit worried that it's not listed.
Do any of you guys have this working with either a Parrot MKi 9000, 9100 or 9200? If so, are there any limitations I should know about? This is mainly for bluetooth audio and making calls.
Kind Regards,
Kona.

My wife's minivan has a Parrot MKi9000 and the Note2 pairs and performs call operations perfectly with it. Cant confirm music streaming as she doesn't let me do that....
(but it works great in my Kia Ceed!)
Looks like a few people found fixes to this, but unfortunately i am not one of them. I tried switching the AVRCP version to 1.3 which led to a successful connection and the phone connection to work. However, media still does not work. My car is a 2018 Toyota Camry XSE. iPhone connects with no issues. I'm a tad bit upset I bought a brand new car and new phone only having to resort to using an aux cord
Wondering if there are any lucky people out there who got their connection to work with any different methods?
I can use the phone for making calls, but Bluetooth audio doesn't work (Audi A4 B9 MMI+).
My workaround is using Android Auto for music playback, this at least works. But I hope Google will fix this...

Same here. Unfortunately, Toyota doesn't support Android Auto...I believe android 8.1 is supposed to be released today so maybe moving off of beta into that will work
So you can't play music over bluetooth to your car? That sucks. Music over Bluetooth works fine for both of my cars. Wonder what the issue is

I have an Audi S4 B8.5 MMI+ and I haven't had any issues with bluetooth connectivity for music or calls on any OS. The only concern I has is with Pandora the clock counter for the song didn't always register, but I thought that had more to do with the app as Spotify worked correctly.
Bluetooth works fine on my Jeep Cherokee 2017. However I don't get audio songs names , that was on 8.0 though. I will try tomorrow with 8.1 on.

Maybe the head unit needs a software update, those are available all the time. I know Toyota will just tell you that your phone isn't on the "list" of approved phones and that the issue is with you phone because it's got too new of an OS.
