[Q] Display Song info over bluetooth in Car

[schmay33]

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.

Hmm. Can anyone confirm 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.

Look at this bit of info. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/UnAssigned-Content/Android+Compatibility

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.

It used to display in my car when i had a stock rom on my samsung galaxy s3 and i changed rom to AOSP cyanogenmod 10.1 and now it stopped displaying music info. I think the rom bluetooth feature is not paired correctly

I found that Pandora does send track info via bluetooth but is not usable worldwide. I haven't found another program yet that sends the info.
