When I use my S5 to play music on the car stereo the car stereo screen simply gives the name of my phone.
When my daughter uses her HTC One the car stereo screen displays the artist and track name.
Is there anyway I can modify the settings on my S5 to make the car display artist/track.
Both daughter and I are using Google Play Music from the same account.
The car stereo is pretty basic and has no options for modification, just pair and play.

well the title is clear, my car Mercedes Benz take my Advantage as its phone, i tranfered my contacts and i dial and talk using the car, i was thinking maybe instead of burning the songs i have on my advantage i would just play them of the advantage using the phone system and speakers of the cars, so far i tried audio toggle which works fine with my jabra to transfer sound from and to headset but when connectect to my car it does't work, now i noticed that while the music is supposed to be playing from the car, and i dial any number i get the music appearing for a second from the car system before it actialy starts ringing on the other side or what where, which means if there is a way to suggest to my car that its actually calling someone while its not it could play music from my car system, can anyone scratch there head with me, also know the services found on the car are Handsfree BT profile not more
I'm considering putting a new stero in the car but if I do I want to get one with bluetooth that will work with my XV6800. Does anyone out there have one that they are happy with? Handsfree dialing, access to contacts and streaming MP3s to the stereo would all be nice features to have.
Try Sony radios?
Me and my wife have the Sony BT2600 each. Reasonably priced below 200 and will bluetooth phone and stream audio as well (she has the Instinct and I have the htc 6800). You can't upload contacts to the radio but it will use the voice tags stored on your phone. The radio has a built in mic with abilty to adjust mic level from low to high. I love when I stream mp3's/listen to radio stations, the radio cuts to the phone and then resumes when u hang up. The phone's ringtone doesn't play through the speakers. Instead, a series of beeps play through the speakers alerting you to the call.
My wife's phone/audio connects to the radio automatically when her stereo is on. Mine, however, will connect the phone automatically, but I have to manually connect the bluetoothed audio. Not a problem though, all I have to do is press button 6 on the stereo and it will automatically connect the last device. For a budget stereo, I don't know what I'd do without it : )
Best Buy does have some Bluetooth stereos (that's where I got ours) but beware. Some stereos are bluetooth ready and need an adapter/accessory to bring bluetooth functionality to the stereo.
I had read a few reviews of the Sony units where people say that people they are talking to through the stereo couldn't hear them well. Some of them thought it was because of the placement of the microphone on the stereo. Do you not have any issues talking to people through yours?
I have an interesting challenge. I have an Audi A4 convertible 2009 with bluetooth that enables me to talk on the phone with my EVO. I am not sure it is the "special" kind of bluetooth that will let me listen to music on my radio sent via the bluetooth to the car's speakers. If it is possible, I dont' know how to do it.
Also..is there anyway that I can broadcast via my EVO to an empty FM station? Has anyone ever heard of doing that? I just want to listen to music and no, there is NO aux jack in the car.
Thanks
Mike
lol, its not a 'special' thing
bluetooth supports different things.... and they are called profiles
for a detailed list of profiles (and to learn something click on this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profile#List_of_profiles )
what you are looking for is, for your device to support the a2dp profile aka advanced audio distribution profile.
inorder for you to stream to an 'empty' fm station, you still NEED an a2dp device... it'll just be coupled with an FM transmitter
i.e. http://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-tra...XBY6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1287857216&sr=8-1
or

if i was you, i would check if the option is available on my cd player first...
i wouldnt recommend bluetooth, atleast not if you have a stock evo, its just too low quality to enjoy, better off using a audio cable, an fm transmitter probably wont sound that much better then bluetooth, if you have caynanogen or another rom a lot of them do fix the bluetooth issue
This is what I do. Turn on my EVO's bluetooth and let it pair with my car. Once the pairing symbol appears on my cars audio display, select Bluetooth as an audio source on my car's stereo. I have FM1, FM2, AM, CD, Aux and Bluetooth. Now start Music on the Evo and turn up the volume at least half way on the Evo. Now I control the volume with my car's steering wheel volume control.
I think the part you are missing it to select Bluetooth as the audio source on your car stereo.
I plug mine into car stereo using headphone jack to amp input for slacker radio listening.
Its also a great battery life saver when EVO volume is at lowest level let car stereo amp do the work
Finally got bluetooth in my car stereo and reviewed some threads prior to posting, but not sure anyone asked / answered the question I have. I'm basically wondering how people are using their bluetooth stereo's. From what I can tell so far I have 2 options.
1. Phone pairs, i listen to my car stereo and if a phone call comes in the stereo picks up the call if i say, and upon completion back to my car stereo
2. Phone pairs, put the car into BT Audio mode and stream audio from my phone including phone calls.
The problem is, i'm looking for a way to combine both. For example I'd like to be able to listen to my car stereo, and if i get a notification i hear it over the radio, not just phone calls. I haven't tried yet, but i'm guessing the nav will be the same way, if i'm listening to the stereo and running nav on my phone i will get no turn by turn like i would if i was listening to music on my phone and running nav.
Is there a way to do this? Am I missing something? I have the Sony Xplōd™ MEX-BT3900U. Is this a limitation of my stereo, or just not how most people use their bluetooth?
I just ordered a replacement radio as well with BT support. I'd be curious wth what other people have to say with experience as well.
I use this all the time.
Both options will work provided the head unit you bought supports media streaming.
Your phone will connect both phone and media over Bluetooth. You listen to your media and if a call comes in you can take it while the media is paused. Media will resume after call completed.
Notifications and navigation will pause and resume media as needed.

I've found the quality of the audio over bluetooth to be very degraded. Have a rear AUX 1/8th port and run a cable to mount, Then use BT headset for all if need be, but have Pandora playing Excision & Downlink radio the entire time
Hello, I have a pair of bluetooth speakers that I've paired with my s4 and it plays music fine. Now, i also have a headset (turtle beach px4) that is also bluetooth, however when i pair it with my s4, it says under "profile" ; "connected to phone audio" and will not play music. How can i change the profile so that my headset will play music?
