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.

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.

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

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!!!
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???

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.
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.

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

When on oxygen is can see the song that's playing on Spotify on my radio of my ford fiesta mk7 2011.
But when I flash all of the roms Bluetooth streaming works great but the radio don't show the song title.
What can be the cause of this, i tested with various settings but nothing really helps.
Someone got ideas where to look to fix this problem? Or how to fix this?

I assume you're already in Oreo? This is a well known Oreo issue.
I suffered this on my Nexus6p when I upgraded to 8.0 and 8.1.
When I switched to OP5T, the same thing happened after the 8.0 update.
I heard that this metadata issue does not occur on Google Play music. But like you, I prefer Spotify.

Hi, are you still having BT metadata issues?
Try this:
Go to Developer Options, and look for Bluetooth AVRCP Version.
On Android 8.1, this should be set to 1.4, but you should see an option for 1.3. Set it to 1.3.

Hi! Just came across this thread here on the forum. I currently have a Volvo V40(2017) and it worked flawlessly with my iPhone 6S through Bluetooth. Every app I used to stream managed to get the metadata there, that being Spotify, Apple Music or even Twitch!
I ditched the iPhone and bought a OnePlus 5T and now when I do pair the device with the car and stream music through Bluetooth this happens to me. The only thing shown on the car monitor is Audio Streaming without any additional information about it. I already tried every single Bluetooth AVRCP version available (1.4[Default], 1.3, 1.5, 1.6) and not one works. Also I'm currently using Apple Music but I don't think it matters because other applications also don't pass the metadata as well.
It's really annoying not being able to see what is currently playing and its also the only thing about my recent iOS to Android change I'm sad about so far
Any other ideas on how I can solve this?
Thanks!

I feel your pain.
Back in 2014, I had a nexus phone that was running on Kitkat. And in addition to the song metadata, etc., I am also able to use my car's voice dialing function to make calls on my phone. But when Lollipop came out, my car's voice dialing suddenly stopped working. But at least I could still make calls and I still had metadata.
When marshmallow came out, my car's dialer suddenly stopped showing the profile picture of the person I'm calling (or calling me). The clock sync function also stopped working. But at least I can still make calls, and I still had my audio-track metadata..
Up until Nougat 7.0, the audio metadata still worked.
It was when Nougat 7.1 came out that I lost the metadata.
When Oreo came out, it was a hit-or-miss affair. Sometimes I get metadata. Sometimes I don't. I could not figure the correct sequence that I followed to get the metadata to work.
I was lucky enough to find the AVRCP tip from a Honda Car forum.
I'm sorry I don't have any other ideas at this point.
i have Pixel 3xl with Android 10, - Bluetooth connects fine there is no metadata - song info. this problem started with 8.1 Android version and I have not been able to get it to work. I really cant believe google cant fix this issue or even aware of it. plenty of threads on google. I think they all use Iphone, i am guessing ...this is very annoying. I have change the avrcp version from 1.4 to 1.6. no luck, also I read that turn off battery optimization on Bluetooth. no luck. any suggestions would be appreciated
