When on oxygen is can see the song that's playing on Spotify on my radio of my ford fiesta mk7 2011.
But when I flash all of the roms Bluetooth streaming works great but the radio don't show the song title.
What can be the cause of this, i tested with various settings but nothing really helps.
Someone got ideas where to look to fix this problem? Or how to fix this?

I assume you're already in Oreo? This is a well known Oreo issue.
I suffered this on my Nexus6p when I upgraded to 8.0 and 8.1.
When I switched to OP5T, the same thing happened after the 8.0 update.
I heard that this metadata issue does not occur on Google Play music. But like you, I prefer Spotify.

Hi, are you still having BT metadata issues?
Try this:
Go to Developer Options, and look for Bluetooth AVRCP Version.
On Android 8.1, this should be set to 1.4, but you should see an option for 1.3. Set it to 1.3.

Hi! Just came across this thread here on the forum. I currently have a Volvo V40(2017) and it worked flawlessly with my iPhone 6S through Bluetooth. Every app I used to stream managed to get the metadata there, that being Spotify, Apple Music or even Twitch!
I ditched the iPhone and bought a OnePlus 5T and now when I do pair the device with the car and stream music through Bluetooth this happens to me. The only thing shown on the car monitor is Audio Streaming without any additional information about it. I already tried every single Bluetooth AVRCP version available (1.4[Default], 1.3, 1.5, 1.6) and not one works. Also I'm currently using Apple Music but I don't think it matters because other applications also don't pass the metadata as well.
It's really annoying not being able to see what is currently playing and its also the only thing about my recent iOS to Android change I'm sad about so far
Any other ideas on how I can solve this?
Thanks!

I feel your pain.
Back in 2014, I had a nexus phone that was running on Kitkat. And in addition to the song metadata, etc., I am also able to use my car's voice dialing function to make calls on my phone. But when Lollipop came out, my car's voice dialing suddenly stopped working. But at least I could still make calls and I still had metadata.
When marshmallow came out, my car's dialer suddenly stopped showing the profile picture of the person I'm calling (or calling me). The clock sync function also stopped working. But at least I can still make calls, and I still had my audio-track metadata..
Up until Nougat 7.0, the audio metadata still worked.
It was when Nougat 7.1 came out that I lost the metadata.
When Oreo came out, it was a hit-or-miss affair. Sometimes I get metadata. Sometimes I don't. I could not figure the correct sequence that I followed to get the metadata to work.
I was lucky enough to find the AVRCP tip from a Honda Car forum.
I'm sorry I don't have any other ideas at this point.
i have Pixel 3xl with Android 10, - Bluetooth connects fine there is no metadata - song info. this problem started with 8.1 Android version and I have not been able to get it to work. I really cant believe google cant fix this issue or even aware of it. plenty of threads on google. I think they all use Iphone, i am guessing ...this is very annoying. I have change the avrcp version from 1.4 to 1.6. no luck, also I read that turn off battery optimization on Bluetooth. no luck. any suggestions would be appreciated

Hi guys, question. My Nexus plays music through my aftermarket stereo fine through bluetooth but my annoyance is that the info doesn't show up. ie artist name, songs etc. While my ipod shows it all. I've read that it's just bluetooth firmware on the stereo/iphone/android but it's still such a pain in the a** that Iphone has the benefits while Android being better doesn't get as much. =( My question is do any bluetooth guru's out there know of a workaround or way to have info show up. My next step is trying different players etc.
The data needs to be sent by the application playing the music. I've found that Apollo will send this data to the screen on my 2012 Civic, the stock player does not.
I think certain ROMs have the latest bluetooth firmware. I think CM9 does? Not positive. I would also like to know if there was some way to update the firmware, on any ROM.

My GN wont connect for Bluetooth Audio (A2DP bluetooth receiver plugged into car ipod dock) - I have tried and tried, different roms, etc, no luck - my 3 year old Droid X works just fine, but my 8 month old Nexus wont connect - WTF. I enter password, get error that unable to pair.
My phone pairs to the car bluetooth phone no problem, but will not pair to audio.
Any suggestions???
Thanks!
so... I think I've narrowed down my issues with newer ROMs coming out and my bluetooth not working in the car anymore. just a little background information,
- 2011 Toyota Camry SE w/ JBL Audio
- Verizon Galaxy Nexus using various ROMs
prior to any newer releases, I would use voice/audio over bluetooth, ran great without a problem. I didn't get metadata on screen but was ok. pandora, spotify, notification sounds, google music, etc... worked like a charm.
well... now I noticed that only voice calls & google music work over bluetooth connection in the car. I thought this was first an issue with pairing the device to the car, so I deleted all the profiles in the car and redid connection on phone. I still couldn't get sound out of any other media application i.e.; pandora, youtube, notifcations, spotify, etc... I could only get google music to work correctly. the apps not working look like they are playing, I turn off bluetooth on phone and it continues playing, but when bluetooth is on I hear nothing.
so after researching, I see that majority of new releases include AVRCP 1.3 which pushes metadata to the displays. I noticed this now works with google music, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get other media services working properly. I've researched on RW, Google, other Android forums and can see some have similar issues, but the thread soon dies. [/background]
can anyone tell me if I can use an updated ROM with AVRCP 1.0 instead of AVRCP 1.3 to test? does anyone have suggestions I could try to get other media services working? thanks!

I think it's AVRCP 1.3 in CM 10 based roms that breaks this. I just switched to jelly belly 9 (4.1.2) which rolled back bluetooth profiles back to AVRCP 1.0 and pandora etc. works but without media info obviously. I also saw a AVRCP 1.3 patch for Pandora somewhere that may make it work. It's possible that the problem isn't that the ROM is not compatible, but that the Apps aren't.

Ok... I've confirmed it has to be AVRCP 1.3
Last night I took advice. I installed Jelly Belly 9 "4.1.2" w/ reverted AVRCP 1.0 because of BT issues, and this morning I went to work, tested connection with BT and everything worked! So... Looks like the issue lies with AVRCP 1.3. I don't see metadata on screen anymore but it doesn't bother me, I'd rather have all other media players working.
To touch on what others are saying, statements Google Music works perfectly fine with AVRCP 1.3 based ROM's as well as voice through BT. It's just the other media players i.e; pandora, slacker, youtube, notifications, etc.... that don't work. I'm guessing from what I read, is that the applications do not support AVRCP 1.3 and will not push to Toyota head units properly. Not sure if this is going to get fixed or not, but sucks because this limits what I can/can't use for ROMs at least a solution was found and reason why. Thanks bud!
You could also try https://github.com/loganakamatsu/PandoraAVRCP for the Pandora patch. Maybe patches exist for other apps as well...
I read on another thread that any app that supports the Scrobble Droid API hxxp://code.google.com/p/scrobbledroid/wiki/DeveloperAPI will pass the meta info to AVRCP. So I assume if you install ScrobbleDroid app hxxps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.jjc1138.android.scrobbler&hl=en from the play store any app that it is compatible with will also pass the meta info to the display.
As noted, Pandora is not supported as it does not broadcast its intents. I personally had issues getting the PandoraAVRCP github to patch. If anyone has a patched pandora.apk, I would certainly appreciate a PM.
Good luck.
I was wondering if anybody could tell me if their Bluetooth in car setup displays the song info on their display in-car. If it does, what app are you using? I am using Doubletwist and it doesn't display the song info in my car. I'm pretty sure its not a limitation in the car, more an app issue.
So, I guess ultimately, a list of music player apps that send song info over Bluetooth in-car is what I am looking for.
I think only a custom ROM like AOSP and CM10 can actually do this.

I have all my music loaded into Google music and since Sprint is horribly slow I rarely stream music while driving, I use a thumb drive or CD's. I have a Kenwood DNX9180 and I never paid attention to what was on the radios display.
What brand of radio are you using?
I will load some songs on my phone a give it a test. I use to use Winamp as a media player because they had cool internet radio stations.
I would imagine with the A2DP profile it should display song/track info(metadata) and with AVRCP you should be able to control the phone from the radio. It may be a software issue with the radio and not with the phone.
A few weeks ago I installed a Pioneer AVHP2400Bt into a customers car and he had a new iPhone 5. It would not display the metadata on the screen while streaming but with the USB it would. On the website it said Pioneer is coming out with a firmware update for IOS 6.

I am using the stock radio from Honda in the 2012 CRV. I am pretty positive it is an issue with the apps (or like the guy said before thinking you have to be on ASOP or CM10). I am using the paranoid android rom on Verizon gnex now so I dunno. Can anyone test any of these theories out?

Try asking in Honda forums. I have a 2010 Mazda with BT and AUX in, but I've never gotten any sort of text display to show. Even though my car dashboard has buttons for "text" and "disp", they don't do anything.

I read a little further, and it seems what we need is AVRCP 1.3 support (1.0 doesn't cut it) in both phone and car.
Then I found this thread which concludes that AOSP JB doesn't have it, whereas CM ICS ROMs did. Later on, someone ported it to a JB (toro) ROM, and the code was merged into AOKP.
Any AOKP nightlies past 8-8-12 should include them.

Hello all,
I updated my Android to Nougat over the air on previously fresh installed Android Marshmallow. Everything seems ok, but now I can't pair my phone with my car over bluetooth. A few weeks ago, I tested Android N DP5, and it was the same issue. At that time, I thought that the issue was related to beta version, but now it's official.
Everything worked like charm before on Marshmallow. The error message that I get is "Can't communicate with Hands Free System". The car says "Pairing failed".
Just to clarify, the car is Mitsubishi Spacestar 2014, and before pairing, I wiped the phone from car's Hands Free System, so it's clean/new pairing.
Does anyone experiencing this? Is there any fix?
Thank you.

I don't know about specifics in bluetooth devices such as your Mitsubishi. But I can tell you my bluetooth connects to my stereo fine in my 2012 Jeep Patriot. I haven't updated to the final release but I'm currently on preview 5. So I don't think it's an issue with bluetooth in Nougat.
I had some issues on the last preview. For me it would disconnect after being connected for maybe 5 min or so. That was with a JVC BT adapter (older aftermarket headunit) and in a Ford with sync (V1) Haven't tested on the new build though. Going back to 6.0.1 resolved all of those issues at the time. I flashed the ota last night and still need to see if it improved anything for me.

Every time i flash my phone with a major update change or wipe it, i have to delete the current BT profile in the car, as I do not alter the name. That resolves it for me 7.0 syncs just fine on my car
Can anyone help me in getting the vendor image for official nougat build?
Thanks in advance!
I have same issue as OP with a 2nd gen Toyota Prius. Resetting the car's Bluetooth settings hasn't helped, as suggested by others in the thread.
I tried everything and I also wiped my phone. I believe that the issue is Nougat OS because it did sync before on Marshmallow.

OK so the car is at least 7 years old, so does the car have any profile settings, where it associates your phones BT MAC address with a name of some kind where you can see and choose them. I know some cars can do that, even some older ones. If so does it still show as I do not know if there is a difference between doing a BT reset and deleting profiles?
I can attest that 7.0 works with BT streaming, connecting, etc...

It allows you to delete registered phones and "Reset settings to default". I think those settings might just be Bluetooth name and PIN though, but that's what I tried
Same problem here (Mitsubishi Lancer (2016)) -> changed the bluetooth (pairing) code from the Mitsubishi media system to "0000" -> works perfect now

I wonder if something in the upgrade process fouled it up per chance.
What OS version did you come from and how did you arrive at 7.0?

6.0.1 Stock, unrooted etc, thru "Beta" enrollment to expedite OTA delivery. I unenrolled after the update installed.
I plan on resetting in the next week or so to switch to File-Based encryption. Hopefully that will fix it

Anyone have any luck on a JVC stereo? It keeps saying wrong code. Idk how to reset it
Mine connects fine to my car stereo but with Play Music it starts playing through the speaker phone after a song completes. I have to pause and resume for it to start playing through the car stereo again. Really obnoxious. Other than that, I'm really enjoying Nougat (besides the terrible name).
So, Bluetooth works well with all alter devices but does not recognise my car Bluetooth. I have not had any issues so far testing from all possible android phones to Nokia and iPhone. I have a 2010 C class. Any suggestions? The car says that no devices has been found when trying to pair. Thanks
Same exact problem here with an Audi A1. I contacted support, but they only suggested things I had already tried (like factory reset etc). I'm going to try and get a log to them at some point this week.
Are you on the latest OTA? That's when the problems started happening for me - it was working fine before that.

Yes, latest update. Unfortunately support gave me "support" I have already tried and if you have a bit of knowledge of android you do not need some to tell you those things. We just have to wait until next update. Thanks
Have you tried turning off HD audio in the device settings?
When the device is connected, go to Bluetooth and select the cog next to the device. Uncheck HD audio.
