That's actually one of its few purposes , so far. Upload your music to Google music, then when you have a Q selected the sound comes from the Q instead of your phones speaker. Same thing with play movies and YouTube. Optical out, HDMI out, or a 25 watt amp if you don't have a system.
But strictly from your sdcard , no. You'd have to have it uploaded to work. You might be happier with a Bluetooth reciever module.

Thank friend your reply. Oh! that means this device useless for me. My country Google play music not available. I try to purchase Nexus Q from eBay and play my phone SD file via this device.

You can sign up by using a proxy to look like you're in the US. Look for a tutorial on using Netflix from abroad, it's the same deal. You only need to be 'in' the US to register, then you can upload and play music without the proxy after that.

The zwatch is good for music via the 3.5mm jack or through Bluetooth, which was what i mostly used it for it had a built in pedometer along with few other health apps plus with the adding of a custom rom you could add other health apps through the play store. I had Spotify on mine with 300+ songs.
the watch ranges from $75-$120 4gb rom which only 2.05gb can be used for other storage such as music, photos, etc.
But if your looking for more storage and longer battery life then there's the zgpax s5 which comes with 4gb rom with can have an extended 32gb micro sd card, with a 500mah battery and upgrade battery that you can get that has 700mah but you loose the 3.5mm jack, waterproof function. but you don't have to put a custom rom on it to get the play store.

[Q] Track/Artist Metadata Issue Over Bluetooth?

Hey everyone!
I'm having an issue that I can't seem to resolve. I have a Galaxy S5 that recently received the lollipop update. Prior to this update when playing music from Google Play Music the track/artist metadata would pass and show up on my car's stereo display. Post update I can still connect, play music over bluetooth, and control the music with steering wheel/dash controls, but the metadata no longer displays (using Google Play Music).
I did some different tests and if I play a mp3 file from the stock music app the metadata is passed. I also connected my wife's phone ( Moto X still on KitKat) and tried streaming music though GP Music and the metadata shows up as expected. I've tried deleting/pairing my phone again and even did a factory reset on my S5 last night, but nothing seems to resolve this.
I know there seems to be hit or miss with AVRCP. I haven't been able to find much in terms of actual information and thought I'd check in to see if anyone has had a similar experience or would possibly have a solution.
Thanks!
I am also having the same issue. Sprint basically told me that it isn't their problem and to wait it out. I've downloaded suggested apps and everything else except doing a hard reset.
MP3 metadata not showing over Bluetooth in car - T-Mobile
I just updated to the latest release for my Galaxy S5, Lollipop, and everything seems to work like a champ, except the streaming of music from my phone to my car's in-dash receiver. Prior to the upgrade, everything worked great. All metadata was passed along, as well as the track progress, and skip forward and backward. After the update, the music will play just fine, but I cannot skip tracks from my car stereo or steering wheel controls any more, I have to do it from my phone. Also, none of the metadata is passed along to my stereo.
I use the stock music app on my phone, but I also tried the Google Play Music app, and it does the same thing. The MP3 files are all stored locally on my SD card.
I'm hoping someone else out there has had this problem, and has solved it. Thanks.

I have exactly the same problem. After the lolipop upgrade of S5 I was not able to see the track/artist name on the display of my car anymore. However the there is no problem with streaming of music to car speakers. I'm using spotify but I tried playing mp3 files and different applications. None of them worked. Car display only shows the device name of the S5. I contacted Samsung support with the hope to get an answer and the first thing they asked was whether I tried the device with another bluetooth capable device. No way! I have another car but no bluetooth capability. Recently Samsung deployed another update after lolipop upgrade but the same again.
Having the artis/track name; does it contribute too much? won't make you fly but it was there when we had the kit kat on S5 and missing at the moment. Yes I have the same problem but don't have a resolution... Would be great to hear different ideas or a workaround from Samsung!
Thanks.
Same problem here on my Galaxy S5 with TW Lollipop. I'm so disappointed about all the stuff that changed (e.g notifications) or does not work like Bluetooth avrcp. I start to regret the update to LP. And I wated over a year...
A temporary fix could be to download Music mate from the app store, (it can pull songs from play music onto your device). Not sure if this would help you guys as it seems some of you have already got local access to the mp3s etc.
Just thought I'd say anyway just incase.
Good luck

Thanks for the suggestion. Music Mate needs a Google Play account which I don't have. I tried another suggested app which should fix this temporary (Bluetooth something) but it did not work. Which I had suspected because the root cause seams to be AVRCP 1.5 inside Android Lollipop instead of older backward compatible versions 1.3 or 1.4. The suspicion is that Google's engeenier didn't have older / legacy / enough different Bluetooth car cits to test. Compiling the source code with a compiler switch, which disables AVRCP 1.5 leads to working meta information. Because Bluedroid is a new proprietary stack newly build by Google it doesn't help to have its source open. There is no APK which we can exchange with a working older version. Instead it seams to be compiled into core components of Android. So the only two chances seams to be:
1. Samsung / Your Handset provider pushes an update which fixes this
2. somebody finds a way through XPOSED to patch the relevant stuff into a life Lollipop.

Streaming via Tune2Air In Audi

I sent this phone back, then got it again. I love so many things about it, they outweigh the annoyances. lol
Anyway, so frustrating to get in the car, turn on my media system and the songs, albums and playlists are not displayed on the interface. They are when using iPhone, so there must be a way of doing so. I was thinking it may be because I'm using Google Play which is over the air, not on the device right?
If that's the case, how do I get all my music on the device micro sd?
i think its because audi favoured IOS over Android thats why meta data is bot read?i'm just guessing here

Cheers. I'm guessing if iPlug it in it will be fine. I better ask Audi I guess.

Connecting to USB audio in '13 Chevy Silverado

I'm currently using an old iPhone 6 pretty much as an iPod to play music through the USB interface in my truck, but would love to be able to use my Axon 7, as I'm a paid subscriber to Play Music, and would like to not have to juggle between two phones just to listen to music. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Currently running RR 5.8.2
Did a quick search online, not particularly in this forum, but your truck might be mostly set up to "see" the iPhone's library or way of storing music, so hooking up your Axon 7 might not work the same way.
This thread mostly recommended connecting your phone via bluetooth or audio jack to bluetooth type connections.

Thanks, man. I've tried connecting through Bluetooth before though, and the truck's only set up to take calls through it, so the sound was horrible. I hate having to hook up through an auxiliary cable too, so I might not have any other option but to use the iPhone. Thank God for Cricket, their unlimited data plan, and tethering. Lol.
There is this, but it is very low-fidelity and not really good for anything but podcasts. I can't stream to the head unit in my car either, but I do have a 3.5 mm input. I'm looking into something like this.

I've wondered about those. Do you know if current track information is cast to the unit too?
I don't know for certain, but I very much doubt it. I'm in the process of sifting through the reviews on the different choices before deciding. I'll update the thread if I find anything useful.

Honda is making my bluetooth crash

I have an LG G6 US997 (unlocked) phone. The bluetooth works nearly flawlessly on my fairly low end stereo. But we bought a 2016 Honda Odyssey last year and now whenever I try to connect to bluetooth on that minivan it works for a few seconds and then my phone says something like, "Bluetooth service has stopped." Whenever I try to reconnect that just keeps happening. Is this a problem with my phone or a known issue with Honda Hands Free Link stuff? I want to say it used to work fine, but this just started a month or two ago.
Do you use Google Play Music? That's what causing the crash. Disable or uninstall the app.

Are you being serious? I do use Google Play Music. Is that actually a known issue/bug when combined with Honda?
It's a bug between the G6 and Google Play Music. I use YouTube Music for now. I'm hoping it'll be fixed by Oreo.

I've been using my US997 G6 via bluetooth with my 2017 Honda Ridgeline flawlessly for long periods during the past 3 months, so doesn't appear to be a hondalink issue.
But i don't use Google play music. I'll try to check that out tomorrow and report back.

I see, thanks for the info. I appreciate knowing where it's coming from, but that's disappointing on Google's part. I'll try removing Google Play and seeing if that helps the issue. Thanks again for the response, I never would have guessed that's the issue.
Hold on a second. This doesn't completely jive with my experience. I have a cheap aftermarket stereo in my Subaru (a Pioneer DEH-X7800BHS) and Google Play Music works just fine on my LG G6 US997 over bluetooth. So there is something about the combination with the Honda Hands Free Link system that is doing this, right?

Different devices will have different bluetooth stacks.
So it is completely possible that the low end device works fine but the Honda does not.

Well, I tried Google Play Music for about 10 minutes today in my Honda, and had no problems. Worked as nicely as Amazon Prime Music and Pocket Casts, the apps I use extensively via bluetooth in the vehicle.
Sorry if this just muddies the water.

That's awesome. Maybe Honda upgraded their Bluetooth for 2017.
I have crashing issues with my 2015 Odyssey and 2016 Acura RDX. Works great with YouTube Music, Spotify and Pandora.
I have no problem with Essential phone, S8 or Nexus 5X.
Today I uninstalled the updates for Google Play Music (it seems to be one I can't truly uninstall) and tried Spotify with the 2016 Honda Odyssey. It worked like a charm. It looks like Google Play Music + LG G6 + Honda (<2017?) is the "winning" combination.
Hi !
7 month later I face the exact same problem .. trying to listen to google play music on my G6 through my honda civic tourer bluetooth system crashes the phones bluetooth ..
Strangely enough one month ago with my LG Q8 I had absolutely no problem.
Now that's weird ..
On the plus side it sounds like Google will be phasing out Google Play Music and moving to YouTube Music instead, although it'll take a year or so to complete the transition.
Today I tried to uninstall google play music updates and reverted back to stock version that came with my phone. No problem since then .. keeping fingers crossed.
Seems related to some google update ..
Edit: it worked fine for a few days then for no reason it started to crash again. Clueless.
Tried spotify, it did not work neither. If I unselect "audio media" in the bluetooth settings, the G6 will connect and not fail, and I can use the phone over bluetooth.
I created a btsnoop_hci.log but it would need an expert to analyse this file ! I opened it with wireshark but I don't know anything about bluetooth protocol ....
