Bluetooth Song track info not displayed in Car Head unit[AVRCP][Nexus 5x][6.0.1] - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
This is my experience with N5X while streaming music through bluetooth to my new Car (Ford Figo 2015 -India).
Play quality - Good so far
Connection Establishment - Good so far
Upload Contacts to Headunit - 100% works
Display song track info - Doesn't work
I have seen devices like LG G2 (5.0 android), Iphones (4,5s,6), Samsung Galaxy Young(cheapest samsung running Jelly bean) connect and stream music info while playing music.
However my older Nexus 4 and my new nexus 5x seems to be hitting roadblock.
Please correct me if i am wrong, but below are my points that could be the root cause of this issue
1. MP3 Players(AVRCP support)
I have tried almost all renowned Music players from Playstore. Tried all bluetooth assistance apps along with them still no luck.
2. Bluetooth Stack
N5x is not listed : https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/6048862?hl=en
AVRCP version is not up to date ?
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/nexus/_t1ufKwSqU8/76g7UPtwAQAJ
3. Bluedroid(previously BlueZ)
Bluedroid is still in its infancy and bluetooth stack not being upgraded, hence?
Please share your experience with N5X on Song track Info, maybe we could collate all information in this thread.

2016 Volkswagen Jetta with Nexus 5x here, track info displays over bluetooth when playing music files, haven't tested streaming audio or video. No special add-on apps or settings for bluetooth, using Shuttle+ as a music player.

did I provide a link? No.
before I posted this did you know that you could have android (gingerbread at that) in your car? doubt it. I didn't
search for them on ebay or the web address hard-coded into picture. or google, i dont care, as I will not post links to avoid being accused of trying to sell these. although they are sold out of UK and i am in canada. there are still many complainers on this site.
I want one just to do a system dump on it!
get a DVD app, TV app, radio app with RDS, I pod control?? these functions must be apps....
nice

Google Music Quality Setting on Tablet

While I wait for parts, I've been testing Google Music in the car on my Nexus 7 before installing it the dash. I noticed that the music quality is not very good, so I went into the settings to make sure it was set to High Quality, and surprise, there is no Music Quality setting in tablet mode!
Am I missing something? Does Google Music determine the quality based on the speed of the internet connection? I was tethering from my Nexus 5 over Bluetooth and found my speeds were pretty dismal (2 Mbps down when my T-Mobile LTE usually gives me around 30 Mbps).
Spotify lets me select the music quality in tablet mode, but I ditched them when they weren't handling notifications properly by ducking (they used to pause). They finally fixed the notifications, but they don't support the Chromecast, so I'm keeping Google Music until that happens.

I have a Nexus 7 Flo and it has a quality setting. It's the next setting below "Stream Via Wi-Fi Only" and is accessed by tapping the "Mobile Networks Stream Quality" setting.

Are you running stock 4.4.2? Are you forcing phone mode by any chance?

I'm running bruce2728's ROM right now but I had the setting in both the current ROM and the stock ROM.

Apps and games that aren't working with 4.4.3

Thought this might be useful for anyone considering updating.
So far, I have noticed that Sky Go Tablet doesn't work and from the Sky forums it appears that it doesn't work for any Nexus device that has 4.4.3

There was an update to MX Player that now works with 4.4.3
Did anyone else notice that Google Currents was in the 4.4.3 update? I know that google stopped supporting it a long time ago. It just seems odd that its still there even though it directs you to the play newsstand as it has been for a while.
I just notice battery usage (probably due to cpu usage) is significantly higher in certain games ( specifically from 30-40% to 60-70% on average)
Skype isn't working too well in video calls for me. The aspect ratio of the front facing camera is screwed up and makes my face look fat when the tablet's in portrait mode, and skinny in landscape mode. Also, if I send Skype to the background while in a call (using the back arrow) to do something else then it stops transmitting video from my tablet.
I'm having issues with the email client crashing. It's has crashed a few times on me since loading 4.4.3.

-Not sure that CC is crash on on Tablet only because I own only Nexus 7 II.

Question [SM-S901U] How can i change the bluetooth bit & sample rates and turn on HD audio in the dev options?

It wont let me change these settings, regardless of if im connected to a bluetooth device or not. Do i need to have other settings enabled/disabled before i can change the audio settings under the developer options menu?
I have the U.S model with the Qualcomm snapdragon chipset, running android 12 and One UI 4.1, in case that's worth noting.
Im not sure if these will be of any use but just for reference heres 2 screenshots of the menus im unable to interact with.
All other bluetooth settings between "HD audio" and "Bluetooth Audio Codec LDAC:"
I'm unable to change, even though i can open the menus and none of the options appear to be grayed-out.
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere. Im fairly new here and android 12 as well (most recent android version ive used in recent years is android 8.0 oreo). still learning my way around.
thanks in advance for any help, answers, etc.

tldr: I’m no help, but I can confirm some parts.
I’ve got a pair of Sony WF-1000XM3. As long as the headphones are connected, I can turn on and off the HD audio setting and switch between SBC and AAC (they don’t support better standards).
My old Bluetooth speaker and a Jabra Evolve 65 don't activate this settings, so it depends on the Bluetooth version and supported audio formats?

Yes I can confirm that, same here.
It's as simple as connecting a headset capable of this codecs/options.
I think generally the best option would be selected automatically.

You can only initiate the changes for HD codecs when the bluetooth device is connected. Example, With Sony linkbuds S, I can select LDAC Or AptX. Once configured, the codec activates every time you connect the BT device.
