I am currently using an android radio in my car with my iPhone. I am wondering if there is some kind of app I can download on my radio where I can play my music from apple music and it shows the song details? Using the built in Bluetooth player doesn't show any details and I have to start the playback with my phone first.

Hi guys
Unlike some of our friends here, I've had no problems getting music to play through my bluetooth car stereo. However, I'm wondering whether or not it's possible to get A2DP controls (play/pause etc) to work from my stereo with sense music player. Windows media player works fine so I'm assuming its not a config/connection problem. I'd prefer to use the sense music player because (apart from ease of access via tab) i think it's far better than WMP.
Any thoughts?
BTW I'm using a Tevion brand bluetooth car stereo. Bought from Aldi (£50 - a bargain) though I'm not sure what model because the wife currently has the car.
Cheers
what is the pandora thread for hd2
Seriously?!
Just google pandora and do some reading....
Pandora is music application. I have had trouble installing this app due to the lack of keyboard on the HD2 some people talk about mymobiler as a way around it but I dont feel like going through all that when slacker radio works just as well. Plus I have all the music I listen too loaded on my phone.
Its not worth installing anyway the sound quality is horrible
i use slacker or kinoma player you can stream shoutcast stations
u really decided to open up a thread to ask this ?
i have no problem whatsoever with this app, sounds great.
its sound fine with headphones but hooked up to the car via Bluetooth audio or usb its horrible
is there a way to make it sound better maybe i'm doing something wrong
Use Slacker its better anyway
I have SD ACA (american android ROM) installed on my HD2...most current version. I can confirm that which connected via bluetooth to my car stereo while using the default music player to play music, song tags/information/track is displayed on my car stereo (I am assuming using AVRCP 1.3). However, I have tried poweramp and player pro and they both do not display the music info/tags/etc on my car stereo which is a big minus. Does anyone know if any other music apps on the market (besides the default android music player) will display via bluetooth/avrcp, all the song tag/information/track/etc?
thanks in advance
would love to know this too
Thanks
me too .....

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,
Coming from a Windows phone it was possible to listen to my music on my car stereo and have Near maps giving me directions.
It seems with Google Andriod I have to switch my car stereo to Bluetooth device to get voice turn by turn directions and no music.
Is this the case ? Or can I have both music and voice directions at the same time ?
cheers
On my us997 G6 I can have both. When the map gives voice guidance it pauses the music and then resumes when maps is quite.
Thanks thats good to know.
Is your setup using the car stereo for music or your phone ?
In my case the music was on in the car stereo.
cheers

It plays both music and navigation through the car speakers.

As far as I know and experienced it only works with both coming from your phone to the car speakers.
Maybe depends on the car setup, but if I play music on the car with USB no audio from the phone via Bluetooth.
Aaah okay, thats the problem, and thats how Windows phone works, Car stereo music and voice navigation from the phone.
Also can Android voice text messages and can you reply to them ? Another thing I miss from Windows phone.
Hi!
I'm using Sony MEX-N5100BT bluetooth car radio. I can both listen to music and use navigation with voice directions without any problems. I'm using Spotify, when the music is playing and voice direction is played, music's volume is turned down a bit and then returns to normal value.
I have to use "Bluetooth audio" mode in the radio, then all of the Media sounds are streamed only on the radio (music, games, youtube, navigation), and all notifications and ringtones are played both on the phone from the loudspeaker and streamed to the radio at the same time.
What music player are you using?
Some of them have separate setting where when there is sound interruption from different app the music pauses for second instead of being played quieter a little bit. I had such option back in the days in PowerAMP.
About text messages and replying - I'm not 100% sure about the reading option, probably radio-dependent... AFAIR Sony's companion app for the radio has it but it works in English, not in Polish.
But I have some sort of Google Now integration in my radio, I can press the button on volume jog and Google Now launches, waiting for me to say the command, f.e. "SMS to ***"
My Car stereo is an Apline CDE-W235EBT thats what I play music on.
cheers

Maybe Windows phone uses the voice protocol for the voice directions on navigation, that's how it could interrupt your music you are playing on your car.
Android uses the media protocol for voice directions/music and the voice protocol for phone calls I think.
Is it such a big deal for you to play the music from your phone, so you would have the feature you want?
Thanks, krysden
It's more convenient to use the car stereo than the phone for music. I turn the key, engine starts, music starts and I'm on my way.
