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.

Has anybody used the Galaxy S4 to stream audio over Bluetooth from various apps to recent Toyota non-GPS head units?
Currently I have a Droid DNA, and it will not stream audio from apps like Audible, Dog Catcher, Netflix, Dish Anywhere, or even Play Music. I have a 2012 4Runner without the GPS head unit, and it seems to be the case with most recent non-GPS Toyotas. Phone calls work fine. This has become a bit of a deal-breaker for me, but I don't want to make the jump if I'm going to run into the same issue.
Any experience or testing will be much appreciated.
I have a 2012 camry and corolla with no issues at all using play music and pandora. Camry has touch screen no nav...corolla is a garbage unit.

No problem here on my Camry 2012 non GPS unit. I've noticed that with the new update to google music, some songs are annoyingly choppy. I've re-installed the app and it still sounds the same. I'm going to try to set a new connection, I hope I don't have a faulty phone.
As for your problem go to Settings>Bluetooth>Click on the Gear Icon on the paired Bluetooth Radio>Make sure that Call Audio and Media Audio is both checked.
I have the same issues with my Toyota Tacoma 2013, tomorrow I will go with my dealer to figure out if need some firmware update.
In my case the phone pairing and works only for the call not bluetooth audio streaming,the unit try connect but the audioplayer disconnects right away.
I installed one app SoundAbout to set up the bluetooth behavior but not works still.
Let me know if you found something, also this forum has the same issue thread

Can anyone confirm that song metadata shows up on their car stereo when streaming over Bluetooth? I have a Kenwood deck that pairs and streams fine, but metadata are never displayed. Before I take it up with Kenwood, I want to confirm that the feature does in fact work with other units (and thus isn't a problem with the phone). Thanks in advance!
Works with my Toyota Avalon.

It depends on the car stereo. In my work truck (300 series Hino) my Bluetooth connects automatically & I can just press play on the stereo to start music & the album art and other metadata show no problems.
But in my 2013 KIA sportage, I have to manually connect to the phone every time & open the music app I'm using & start playing music from the phone first. And I get no info about the music at all.
Frustrating to me, because the KIA stereo is by far the better of the two & a year newer.

So frustrating. This is the fourth phone I've tried with this deck (Nexus 5, Moto X, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P) and just can't get metadata. Grrr!
Having the same issue with the Sony double din unit in my Ford Escape. None of the players I've tried show any song info on the deck. It works find in the iDrive in my F30 though.
Never had this issue with my Xperia Z3.
I hope someone comes up with a fix.
Both my 2013 Subaru BRZ HU and the Pioneer AVH-X2700 in my Sequoia work just fine with Google Music. Neither display album art but I don't think the HUs support that.
Works perfectly with my '14 Ford Fusion SE
I have the 128gb 6p and it connects just fine on my Pioneer FH-X720BT. Phone calls route thru the system and caller info is displayed just fine. However, my problem is that it shows the track info for the first song but when the next song plays it still displays track info for the first song. I can play through 20 songs and it's still stuck displaying the track info from the first song. It does this with Google Music and Amazon Music. That's sort of similar to your issue, anybody else have that?

I have that same problem with my Nexus 5x on my Pioneer DEH-8700BH. I noticed it only does the no song update only with music streamed via internet radio through several apps. The song name works, however, when the music is physically saved to the phone. Weird...
Interestingly, I have the prior version of this Pioneer radio in my other car and it works just fine at all times. It's the DEH-8600BH.
No fix that I know of. It's very frustrating, I called Pioneer and they blamed the phone, then I called Google Nexus and they blamed the radio. I am very angry and hope it has something to do with Marshmallow. It works just fine with my brother's Android with Lollipop...
Hopfully a patch comes out soon.
Works great on my 2012 Honda civic.
I was looking forward to a solution..
My stock Nexus 6P shows no metadata in my 2012 Volvo V50, however, when I flashed CM13, metadata shows just fine.
Honestly, I dont know if caller ID worked in neither roms but I'm going to try it out this weekend.
I guess the BT driver is the issue?

That happens to me on occasion. When it does, I pause the music ( I use the button on my steering wheel or radio panel) and push play again, and the current song comes up. I also had this problem with my Galaxy S4, but it happened more often.
fixed!
It's fixed! I flashed the February 2016 update and now my phone displays metadata on the car stereo!

Noob question,
You were able to flash the update on a rooted device/AOSP ROM?

I"m not rooted. Just unlocked the bootloader and ran flash-all from adb with the feb2016 update.
I just got my 6P beginning of June.
First thing I did was pair it to my Kenwood radio in my car (KDC-BT858U).
I am seeing the same issue where all the controls work fine, there is just no metadata on screen.
My 2 BlackBerry phones have not problems (Passport and Classic). Both these show the metadata always.
I then paired the 6P to a Parrot Mki-9200 and on this device the metadata does show up...
Unfortunately it looks like it is a compatibility issue...
I thought BT metadata is supposed to be a standard... should be backwards compatible...
or is there some settings missing somewhere in the code for certain radios??
I'm starting to think my phone is defective... Anyone having issues with Bluetooth audio? Paired it to 2 different cars of different manufacturers (obviously not at the same time) and the phone randomly disconnects and/or "lags" when it's playing offline Spotify songs. Rebooted and it didn't make a difference. Anyone else?

had no trouble pairing with my car and it connects extremely fast. way faster than my note 7 or note 4. using the phone as well in the car works great. might be your phone
No problems in my Acura as well. I like how you can quickly choose what device to play A2DP with. Very convenient. Try to re-pair the devices in both cars. Also, remember to clear the devices (as well as all past devices no longer in use), from the car's computer.
I am seeing some similar issues. PocketCast randomly pauses and restarts while streaming, Spotify instead experiences random volume increases and decreases. New 2016 Ram with updated uconnect.
No issues with my 2012 Mazdaspeed 3 - it actually works bettr than my Samsung phones
I had some issues at the beginning to connect to my Golf 2015 but after it worked out everything works great now.
No problem connecting to my 2012 Chrysler. Only problem is now I can not see any info streaming. Anyone have a fix for this. Spotify, Pandora or mp3
No problem with my subaru
same issue with my volvo
The last two versions of Spotify have been terrible (6.3 and 6.5) they both have bluetooth issues. I suggest trying to downgrade to 6.2 and see if that resolves the issue.
I couldn't control music at all with Bluetooth under version 6.3 or 6.5, they would work for 5 min then stop working if you need more directions on how to do this just reply here.

I am experiencing the same issues when connected to my aftermarket car stereo. I find that it is happening with local audio book files in two different apps. The audio gets garbled and cuts out completely, but the app keeps going, so no pauses. This is driving me crazy! Hopefully LG has a fix soon!
I lost connection to my BT speaker when I went out on my deck yesterday. That was never an issue with my G3. Its only about 20 feet.

Pretty sure it's Spotify....I've had all kinds of issues with Spotify since the last update. I loose button control in my Camry, and on my lg tone platinum headphones. Also the the widget quits working and the album art screen quits showing up... No fix yet
Problem could be with nougat!! Pixel users are having issues as well.
I know most dont speak about 7.0 or the V20 but We are currently the only one with 7.0 and the V20 which dont get much press.

Couple of things to try and narrow down:
1. Bluetooth hardware (4.2 BLE for us), so software/hardware versions of both bluetooth and radio unit for the host is the variable...
2. Bluetooth music choice (spotify, music player etc.)
3. Is location of app and/or music files on external sd card?
4. Ensuring theres a "media audio" profile on your BT connection. This can be checked by going to the BT settings of the paired device on your phone.
Personally I've had a good experience with this phone compared to the v10 or even the s7 edge. Music meta data displays on the host unit (aftermarket Pioneer AVH-X4800BS in a '13 Chrysler 200 S type). Audio and mic sound better than the other phones but i have no testing to prove it...
Please post your info and maybe we can narrow it. I have some tech experience dealing with this so I'll try and help
Here's my setup:
1. Pioneer AVH-X4800BS. BT hardware 3.0, software C406 (stock software, needs updating) and radio unit firmware 08.15
2. Spotify and LG music player
3. Downloaded to internal sd card. Streaming as well.
4. Media audio profile present and activated.
Cheers
Edit: I also was experiencing the audio skipping and music player unresponsiveness prior to the v20. My initial guess is the music app goes in the foreground and doesnt get almighty priority treatment that nougut should be giving it if all the above is setup correctly.
An update to my issues as well as my setup to help things along:
On travel last week, my rental car was a Nissan Versa (puke), however, streaming bluetooth with spotify 6.5 worked flawlessly.
Came back to my beloved Ram, cleared both my phone and Uconnect bluetooth connections, repaired my device, and now I am seeing no issues with bluetooth streaming, either spotify or pocketcasts, with the exception of no album art or track time counting. It shows total track time, just no progress.
I believe my issues are with the UConnect system, as it has been a pain in the rear since I bought it last month. Sirius XM resets constantly, cannot connect via USB and Bluetooth at the same time and select USB as the source, etc. (was the same with my iPhone 6 Plus)
My setup:
1. UConnect 5.0 (RA2) Not sure what version of Bluetooth
2. Spotify 6.5 and Pocketcasts
3. Downloaded to internal SD card and streaming
4. Media audio profile present and activated.
I have a 2014 Buick and have the same issue. Works fine then will beggin to studder. Doesnt matter if is local mp3 or streamed from google.. However, as i type, it is the same app. But I am doubtful that is the issue as i get delayed text messages on the vehicle as well. If it is a defective unit i am bummed cuz I just dropped it yesterday and it now owns a a gnarly scuff, took the drop well tho.
I have an LG Urbane as well that also experiences some lag with inbound alerts.
Having streaming issues (DI.FM) in my 2016 Mustang. Stutters, and skips. I'll try to re-pair and see if that works. My S7 Edge worked great, kinda frustrating with the V20. I've also cleared the s& from the Ford Sync. LTE is very strong during my whole commute.
So after I googled a bit more I found a suggestion and it worked for me. Basically go to settings > apps > system apps > bluetooth and force stop the service and clear cache then reboot.. Been smooth since, not sure if this is a permanent fix but if you are having issues its worth a shot.
I've read multiple issues with Bluetooth and cars, but I haven't seen anything around the Amazon Music app.
When I use the Amazon Music app, the display in my car shows the Google music song on deck.
Also, controls via my android wear watch show the song in Amazon Music. However if I press to play or pause it activates the Google music song on deck.
I assume this is an Amazon Music app issue, but it worked fine on my old android 6 device.

Oddly enough I have the same problems (and have since my nexus 6). The problem comes when I switch apps - amazon music, Pandora, GMMP (my mp3 player).
Im not sure if it's the way Android sends meta-data or the head unit in your car. Ha e you tried to force close the app and reload it to see if it will resend the data?
Tbh I've got myriad problems with Bluetooth atm. From dropping the connection at random to playing audio from the phone when Bluetooth is connect and media is selected under the settings. I end up having to reboot to just get the Bluetooth connection to work. Rumor has it 7.1.1 is on the way. I hope Google is addressing the reported Bluetooth issues.

I tried it in my other car, and it seems to work correctly (2013 vw working).
There must be some BT issues with compatibility.
