Bluetooth media - unknown on Sync

[malfuncion]

Not sure if this is a nougat issue or a Franco kernel issue, but when using Ford MySync or whatever it's called I show unknown artist unknown song as my display on my car audio screen. This same configuration was working fine on MM with France r10 but once I moved to Nougat it's been unable to give me artist and song info.

I've cleared cache, reinstalled apps, removed and added my car back as an audio source all with no luck in resolving. I have also looked through the Franco thread so I don't think it's related to his stuff. I am also updated to the latest kernel he released, no fix there. Not really anything else special on my device except magisk for root.

Is anyone else having this issue? It's kind of driving me crazy. I almost want to revert to factory and see if that changes anything but don't want to re-root etc.

I have searched this forum and others for a fix but everyone says it's app specific, which mine is not. It won't work in sound cloud, play music, YouTube, or any other media apps it was known working in before the update.

Are you rooted or using any non stock kernel? If rooted, what method? If kernel which? Thank a for the reply. Its nice to know it's not just me.

Rooted yes. I've tried stock kernel and Franco.

Took out my wife's 2015 explorer today and it has the same problems. I wonder if 4.10 will fix it? I'm holding off for a while before taking it...

I had the same problems with my car ( VW Passat 2014). I have the Sony Xperia ZX and HTC 10 and no problems with Bluetooth. I am using original rom and Nougat. It seems the is only Oneplus phones.

I've tried 4.10 and also now Lineage and it doesn't fix it on any of them. I'm guessing its firmware related then.

I believe someone said it's OOS 4.0.3+ so 4.0.2 was fine. I can confirm because I experienced this after updating to 4.0.3.

This bug is actually a pretty big peeve of mine. I'm considering going back to 4.0.2 because of it

7.0 update fixed this for me but when I tired the 7.1.1 update it broke it again and also added a noticialbe lag when using the controls on in my car. I have since reverted back to using the 7.0 software.

So you are saying it does not work with OOS4.1?

It does not work on mine, unfortunately. It DID work for a day or two though.

I'm running daily Lineage OS using default kernel (usually Fusion kernel, however not right now since it's not updated for latest source) and working beautifully with my Volvo Sensus Connect, both bluetooth internet connection for car and Bluetooth audio with audio track text working. So probably some Ford mumbo jumbo. ?
