I have a 2012 Sonata with Bluetooth steering wheel controls. When listening to music on my Note 4, the "next and "previous" buttons on my steering wheel do not work. They worked prior to my Note 4. Is this a Note 4 issue?
There are problems reported with many cars due to poor Bluetooth compatibility. Basically, as I understand it, the Note 4 is using the latest version whereas many cars don't. While it's supposed to be backwards compatible, it isn't very good at maintaining functions (such as metadata and controls). It'll stream audio just fine, but that's about it. (I find this very aggravating too)
You might try the autoaudio app to see if it helps you (didn't help with my 2012 Mazda 3).

I had this problem with my Sonata. I had a 2011. I traded it in recently and it works in my 2014. Its a compatibility issue the Note 4 uses a newer version of Bluetooth

Tried my new phone with my 2.1 helmet speaker system, and the phone can't see it. Not the end of the word, especially in light of Anand's review of the ep4gt's music system, but I was still hoping to use it on commutes.
Anyone else try connecting to their pre-3.0 BT devices?
I paired my old original Palm Pre yesterday without any problem. I'm not sure of the Bluetooth stack version in my car ('11 Sonata) but it paired there without issue as well.
I have paired it with my helmet system (scala g4), my car stereo, and 3 separate earphones (2 stereo sets and 1 standard older system). I didn't experience a problem with any of them.

I have the Scala G4 also, that's what it isn't pairing with, it doesn't even see it. When was the last time you updated your G4? I did about a month ago, its working fine with my Huawei & ipod touch.
Hi All, loving my note 2. I used to be able to stream audio using Super BT Mono Froyo Free using my old Motorola Triumph phone, but that app now crashes when I try to run it. I'm assuming because it doesn't work with Andriod 4.1. Any other options out there for using a single ear piece bluetooth to listen to music, or more specifically podcasts on the note 2?
Thanks!

Sorry, found my own answer. BTmono works great, and works with note 2 for anyone wondering. Working with my old Motorola H715.
When I had this sound routing problem with my Droid X I used "Sound Route Switcher Bluetooth" app by omercade. I tried this app with Galaxy Note 2 with no problems. But right now, knock on wood, I don't have any sound routing problems with my Galaxy Note 2, including music to my mono Bluetooth. My Bluetooth device is Plantronics Voyager PRO HD. I am using Plantronics MyHeadset app as well, but I don't believe that you will need that app.
What gets me worried is that I have been reading throughout the Galaxy Note 2 forums that people having sound routing issues within weeks after getting their Galaxy Note 2. This could be just a few flawed devices within their large manufacturing production. But I do wonder.
Guys, I'm not really sure I'm reading the question correctly, but if I am, I want you to know there is an option built right in to TouchWiz for music listeners using mono bluetooth. It's enough to make me stick with Samsung FOREVER. Check the accessibility options, hearing. No more stupid work around, finally!

Hey guys,
Just seeing if anyone else has had this problem or can think of a solution that might work. I have 11 Audi S4 with the factory nav and Bluetooth, my wife has a 15 Audi Q3. We both came from Galaxy S4's and this was never a problem. Basically when we pair them to the cars the phone thinks it's a headset so it gives me the volume warnings and such and also does not transmit meta data from Rdio, Spotify, or Google Play Music. It also does this with a few of my speakers that have displays. I have done a full factory reset on the phone and nothing. Also tested in a 08 subaru wrx and same results. Hopefully someone has some thoughts or has had the same issue.
Thanks,
Lunchbox
interesting... I have 2 Fords- a '12 Focus & a '14 Explorer, both with the Sync feature... I have paired my Note 4 to both of them with no issues and they both see it as a phone and treat it as such.
The Note 4 does use a newer BT stack right? v4.1 is newer than what was on the Galaxy S4 I think.
updates for your gear maybe? It's tough cause you are seeing it across a few different devices.
Ya I was thinking the same seeing how that is much newer. I do wonder however why the controls don't work at all that is the only really strange part got me.
I'm having problems also with my 2014 A6, Note 4 connects but any audio played from any source skips alot, phone calls seem to be working normal.
note 4 bluetooth issues
I am having issues with the bluetooth on my Porsche PCM when on calls it sounds like there is a bunch of paddles prattling for a few seconds every 10 t0 20 seconds and then the call will sometimes drop. Any ideas?

First off, my other devices (rooted LG G3, rooted Nexus 5) have no problems so I'm 99% certain it's a phone issue.
Phone: AT&T Galaxy Note 5
Car: 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z51
Music Player on phone: PowerAMP
Problem: If I'm listening to another source on the car (XM, FM radio, etc.) and the Note 5 gets a notification (SMS, email, etc.) the car's head unit will switch to bluetooth audio and start playing music. This is getting rather annoying that I can't listen to another source without the phone wanting to hijack every time a notification alert comes through.
Previous devices, like I said, if an alert comes in the car ignores it and keeps playing whatever I was using.
Thoughts?
I also have the AT&T Note 5 and I'm not having that issue in my 2012 Ford Focus. I'm fact, I haven't had a single Bluetooth issue with this phone.
Have you tried using the stock music player to see what happens?

I'll have to give it a try later. I've used this exact setup (PowerAMP) for years with my G3 and Nexus 5 and previous phones in multiple other vehicles and never an issue. Any idea what settings to check?
Nosferatu, I have the same car as you and the issue I've had on two different Corvettes is that the Bluetooth connects/disconnects every few minutes. It doesn't happen on all cars though. Just on some. 2008 Audi, 2010 Acura, worked fine. 2013 Jeep, 2014 Mazda, and 2015/16 Corvette it connects/disconnects. AT&T and Samsung have been useless in figuring this out.

Actually to get it fixed all I did was delete the pairing and then repaired the phone and voila no issue.
Since the Android 5.x update on my Note 3 and now the Note 7 Samsung did something to jack up the blue tooth stereo controls (so If I use apps like Media Monkey or Power Amp) that when connected to the car stereo, I cannot use the car stereo to forward, go back, etc through the songs in the play list.
Is there a fix for this, that probably is my biggest issue, I don't want to have to pick up the phone every time I want to change songs over blue tooth. Gotta keep eyes on the road......
I'm not sure how you're connecting. I have an Infiniti and I don't seem to be suffering this issue. It's compatible whether I do this through the phone or through my car's controls.
Works fine for me too. Using an aftermarket kenwood 419 head unit

I am using a Kenwood Excelon KDC-X998. When the Note 3 came out with Android 4.x and connected to the head unit over bluetooth the album, song title, artist,etc call came over from the mp3 or flac files on the phone and I could use the kenwood back and forward buttons to move through the music on the phone. It stopped working when Android 5.x was pushed out to the phone. I talked to Kenwood about it and they said that they were not aware (but they are now they are aware of the fact that Samsung did something), like made their own new commands to send the information over blue tooth that were not part of the stock android os and that is why compatibility was lost.
I just want my text and controls back.

On my 2013 Kia optima w/ navi I do not get media audio so only BT that works is the phone. It will show the first song sometimes on pandora but never will update after that. All audio always comes from phone. I can change songs from the stereo but that's it. Totally useless. Works fine in my other cars and my BT radio in my garage so it's a problem w/ my Kia but WTF?? My note 3 and a note 5 work just fine. Very disappointing.

I have a Pioneer AVH-P2400BT head unit, which worked fine with my Nexus 6p, GS5, Sony Z3....but only receives audio from my Note 7, no Music Info or Control over next/previous song.
It kind of sucks, but I'm loving the phone...

Note 3, edge and this N7 have all played nicely with the car, admittedly it's pretty basic OEM BT integration. Vehicle can control the phone no worries, though.
The only time I have this problem is when my smartwatch tries to take over the controls.
