So I have this problem both on my 2012 Prius which has navigation and is supposed to support A2DP et. al. as well as in my Civic which has a Kenwood Bluetooth headunit [KDC-BT752HD].
The Nexus 7 can connect and is able to stream music to both devices, but neither device can show song title/artist/album information. On the Kenwood it says nothing at all, and on the Prius it says something like 'untitled etc'.
The device is supposed to support all the requisite Bluetooth profiles, so I can't imagine why it's not sending this information correctly?
In addition I feel like this is an Android 4.x.x bug, because on my old Epic 4G, CM7 would send artist/album/song title information just fine to both the Prius and the Kenwood, but when I flashed to CM9 I get the same problem that the Nexus 7 is now having.
Is anyone else seeing this? Do any of the ROM's on the forum address/fix this issue?
t is probably an issue with your music playing app. I use PowerAmp to play music to my JVC unit & it shares the info. Doggcatcher or Beyondpod for my podcasts does not..
I think the Google play music will stream the data too...I can't remember.

I'm using Google Music with my N7 and it isn't sending the metadata. On my CM9 device, with the same head unit, it does send the metadata. So I don't think it's purely the software used to play the music.
I've found that the N7 supports only AVRCP 1.0, and the metadata information is sent with AVRCP 1.3, which you have to flash a custom ROM to get.
I'm seeing the same symptom

I am seeing this same issue with a Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.1.1 and my 2012 Prius. My old phone, which ran Gingerbread 2.3.3, correctly showed song titles and artists, whether I used the old Music app or the Google Play music app. With the new phone, music plays fine but the title, artist, and album are reported as unknown.
Perhaps this is an Android 4.x bug.
I can't speak for the nexus7, as I haven't tried it yet. On my gingerbread phone, most apps don't send the metadata across via bluetooth. Google Play music does. Pandora sends all the track info if connected across USB, not with bluetooth.
I agree that it is likely an AVRCP version issue. I'm surprised they didn't bump it yet in 4.x. I think CM10 might have the new version.

I just bought a new JVC receiver for my car. I want to use my Nexus 4 to play back music via Bluetooth Audio. When I use my iPhone 4 or Lumia 920, Bluetooth audio work fine and show media information, but my Nexus does not. (Actually, my Lumia locks up horribly, but that's another forum discussion)
I don't know how to explain, so I posted this video. On the screen, you see the track/artist info via BT streaming. When I use my Nexus 4 - no info at all, just the playback buttons.
Currently using Xylon with Franco kernel. Would this matter?

EDIT: Turns out that the AVRCP Bluetooth protocol is either unsupported or broken. *sigh*
So I just installed a new head unit for my car with have bluetooth. I was able to make phone calls and streaming music from my Nexus 4 (stock 4.2.2). However, there is no ID3 tag when music is streaming. I was ok with that. A couple of days ago, my daughter was riding with me and she wants to pair up with her iPhone 4. When the stereo streaming music from her iPhone 4, the ID3 tags shows up. This is really bug me. The iPhone 4 was 3 years old and were able to send ID3 Tags over bluetooth but my less than a year old Nexus 4 cannot. Is there something wrong with my Nexus 4?
Wait for Android 4.3 This will be fixed.
Just upgraded from a Note 2 to a Note 3. I stream audio to both my cars and have noticed the Note 3 in both vehicles, experience a clicking or pop during playback. Slacker, Media Player, Amazon MP3, all have the same result. Also it doesn't make a different if the screens on or off. Neither does charging during playback. Both devices I stream to are dmzmusic bluetooth dongles. My LG bluetooth headphones work fine.
Anyone else experienced this?
Removed my Galaxy Gear pairing and software when I returned the watch. No more clicks!

I had many Android phones and usually when I bluetooth stream from any phone, my car's head unit shows the artist name, song name, and the album name. With Le Pro 3 when I connect the phone for audio streaming, the screen gets stuck on Phone is Connected and doesn't go to the more advanced screen to show the song info. Did anyone have this issue and is there any way to fix that?
Using it with 2016 Mercedes HeadUnit and Spotify. Works perfect even better than Samsung galaxy s6... It connects a bit faster and sound is perfect, stable etc. I'm on .018s official Rom without Root
Jeep GC 2014 better than Samsung Note 4.

I used Pandora in my car the entire drive to work (25 mile drive), and I had no issues with Bluetooth or its display on my car system. I'm in a Honda Civic 2016.
