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 had many Android phones and usually when I bluetooth stream from any phone, my car's head unit shows the artist name, song name, and the album name. With Le Pro 3 when I connect the phone for audio streaming, the screen gets stuck on Phone is Connected and doesn't go to the more advanced screen to show the song info. Did anyone have this issue and is there any way to fix that?
Using it with 2016 Mercedes HeadUnit and Spotify. Works perfect even better than Samsung galaxy s6... It connects a bit faster and sound is perfect, stable etc. I'm on .018s official Rom without Root
Jeep GC 2014 better than Samsung Note 4.

I used Pandora in my car the entire drive to work (25 mile drive), and I had no issues with Bluetooth or its display on my car system. I'm in a Honda Civic 2016.
Have this issue w/ the S7, note7 and now this s8+. The S5, S6 works, note5, etc. Exact same results with the phones that do not work.
In my other cars it works fine so I know its my Kia but I don't have any idea how I can rectify this. Called the tech at Kia and he said they've not tested the note 7 and may never as the car is a few years old so It looks like I'm on my own here. On my 2013 Kia optima w/ navi I do not get media audio so only BT that works is the phone. It will show the first song sometimes on pandora (Streaming audio, NOT pandora app radio) but never will update after that. All audio always comes from phone speaker. I can change songs from the stereo but that's it. Totally useless. Works fine in my other cars and my BT radio in my garage so it's a problem w/ my Kia but WTF?? My note 3, note 5 and S6 work just fine. Very disappointing. My wife is running android 6.x on her s6 and it works so it is not that.
I had a ticket into google on this for my note7 but they blamed samsung saying the ROM is fully customized by samsung. Samsung says it's googles issue.
Anyone else have this issue? Any suggested fixes?
Yes, I had this issue! When I got my S8 yesterday it would connect for phone and the third(?) option, but not for the media option. Your car might be the issue though, if none of those phones work. Mine did show three options: phone, media en another one.
Well: during the car ride I noticed there was an update for 'Samsung Connect' so I downloaded that. After that update still no joy. I then proceeded into work, obviously disconnecting the bluetooth connection. Once I got back in my car at the end of the day the connection magically worked. So it might be one of a few things:
1. Update Samsung Connect (if you can)
2. Disable bluetooth
3. Remove bluetooth paired device
4. Turn off car and restart phone
5. Try again
I`m about to head out for work again so I`ll see whether mine still works or not.

Yeah so there's prolly something else wrong, as mine did show the media option. Sorry
Yeah it occurs on all 2011-2013 kia/hyundais w/ navigation and i'm sure other cars as well. Nobody wants to fix it and basically it keeps me from even using this phone.

I have the same issue. I have a 2012 of the same car, Navigation with Infinity speakers. This is not the UVO head unit. I can connect for phone calls and contacts, but all media plays through the phone. I can see the first item from the music app, and can only skip to next song (I haven't tried previous song as I am only streaming). It does not pause though. All audio keeps coming through the phone no matter what.
I've enabled/disabled streaming on the car. I've reset the radio/head unit. I've reset the Bluetooth on the car. I've unpaired from the car side and phone side. I've tried various combinations of these things. None has fixed it. I've mentioned the problem in forums here:

Try the bluetooth app called bluetooth auto connect. I can not connect w/ my car on my s8 and s7.

I think it is samsung software. I paired it with a pioneer avic head unit for a trip 8 hours away to deliver the car to my friend. When first paired, it worked fine. Most of the time no issues. But for some reason after one of the rest stops (turned car off) I ran into that issue. When you go into BT settings in the phone, the media option was grayed out.
Only way to fix it was to forget the device, and repair it. It happened a few times on the way over.
Now that my friend has the car, he has no issues and streams with his Moto Z.
I have another issue with my car. The phone connects to Bluetooth but I can't navigate thought my music folder within the car system. Previously I had no issue with S7 edge and iPhone 7 plus. This is driving me crazy considering that Android auto just sucks with music playback. Most of the time audio apps I use (Spotify / Google play music) seems to do not work properly.

I need to toggle off and on the bluetooth 2-3 times for it to connect to media audio. Call audio goes on every time, it is a pain to connect this way every time. It worked perfectly until the first Nougat update.
That certainly isn't the case for kia/hyundais and a few other cars produced around 2011-2014. What make/model is your car?
Did you resolve this? I think I might have seen your post in the samsung forums. I have a 2013 Optima with Nav and having the exact same issue. I've done everything in the samsung forums to no effect. TIA.

Yes, bluetooth auto connect
I have the same issue with a Civic. With S2, it paired fine, but contacts only synced like 200 of them. Music info displayed.
With S8, imports all contacts fine, syncs music fine, but no music metadata. I would like to see artist name, track and album on screen.
All apps I have tried do not work
My issue with the S8+ is that I cannot get my AppRadio 3 microphone to issue voice commands despite having all the correct settings for Google as near as I can figure. The head unit works fine on my LG G3. I cannot for the life of me figure out what the problem is. It's destroying the phone's usability.
Old thread but I was having the same issue and found a fix that's been working pretty reliably for me so I wanted to reply in case I can help anyone here.
I was having the problem with my g6 and Hyundai. Phone connects to call audio fine but media audio won't play through the car, I can see the song that's playing and even use steering wheel controls to change it but sound comes out of phone.
What I did. Disconnect from the car, connect to another Bluetooth speaker and play music through it. Connect to the cars Bluetooth and you should get a notification asking what device you want to play audio on, pick the car. Should work for about two weeks and then you'll have to repeat the process.
Hope this works for you guys as well.

I think Google has some things to fix with BT. Hopefully it is fixed in Oreo and above.
Hi,
I recently got my LG G6. I'm really satisfied with it. Especially the camera and the performance , but I have a problem with my hands-free equipment in my car .
Everytime I want to use the phone as audio source e.g. Spotify I would have to un-pair and pair the devices again .
I have a Volkswagen Passat 2014 with a RNS 315 and original hands-free equipment.
I can pair the devices without any problem. Also the "connected with audio equipment" option will be displayed on the phone. After a few seconds this option disappears in the overview of the connection details, only "use hands-free" and "sync phone book" will be displayed on the phone. Only in the overview of paired devices I can see that it is connected to the car as audio source. I can use the steering wheel buttons to switch between the tracks and the current title displays on the car radio.
The problem:
After the phone disconnects form the car (remove the key) and it reconnects gain (starting the car again) the phone do not recognize the A2DP protocol anymore and it just connects as hands-free without the ability to play music over the car speakers. I can use the steering wheel controls to switch the music title and the car also displays the current title, but the audio comes from the phone and not from the car speakers. But the car displays the phone as hands-free and audio source.
I had no problem with my Nexus 5X. I have already tried to clear the bluetooth cache and data. I have already tried with an other LG G6 and there was the same problem.
Is there any way to enforce A2DP even if the phone do not recognize it anymore?
The phone software is V11g-EUR-XX with security patch level 6th November 2017.
I hope anyone can help me, because I don't want to send it back.
Same issue here. I have to unpair and pair again if I want media playback to the car. I have tried pretty much every solution I came across and nothing worked apart from pairing again. Having said that, I think the problem is both with the RNS315 and the G6. I had a similar issue with the Note 3 but disconnecting and reconnecting was enough so I was using trigger to get around it. I have a small hope the oreo update may fix it.
