I have tried a number of roms now and have not been able to get the hero to send track names to my car head unit. I can listen to music through bluetooth fine with all roms but track name always comes up blank.
Has anybody else managed to get track names over bluetooth working?
thanks
Ok after more research it seems that in order to have track names over bluetooth AVRCP 1.3 is needed,
Unfortunately android doesn't have this and only runs AVRCP 1.0 so it looks like this function wont ever come to the hero..
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.

Hi,
Since upgrading to version 4.3 i'm unable to stream audio via bluetooth to my car headset using youtube and other music apps, the only one thats able to stream music to my car stereo is "google music", phone speaker through the car stereo works, and handsfree buttons as well.
The problem occurred only after upgrading from 4.2.2, it's not working on my wife N4 as well, so it's not just my phone having this problem.
using stock 4.3 and also tried CM 10.2 but that didn't help as well,
hope some one can give me a hint on how to fix this.... thanks!
Hello
Had my DHD over 2 years now, tried a variety of different ROMs. Just gone back to Android Revolution HD 9 after having lots of issues running Viper.
My car radio has Bluetooth connectivity. When I play songs from my phone it displays as "Audio track" on the radio. One ROM (I can't recall which now) did actually pass the song title through, so I know the setup is capable of this.
So, does anyone know what tweak I can make to get this working again?
After upgrading my Verizon S5 to Lollipop, i am seeing bluetooth issues. With KK, I was able to use bluetooth to control my phone from my Car radio.
Volume, fwd, reverse tracks and MP3 info was all shown on my car radio screen. With LP i only hear the audio. None of the controls work.
Anyone know of a fix ?
BT Regression
I am experiencing the same issue with my Verizon Samsung S5 and the BT connection to my Kenwood receiver. The phone will pair, but with this update to LP, I have lost the ability to control the music from the steering wheel or controls on the Kenwood deck.
no one else?
No other members have expended this issue?
Even mp3 tags are not sent to the Bluetooth radio.
