Anyone able to get Metadata to display in their vehicles? My old HTC One M8 worked fine. GS6 Active does not display any Metadata from any music player I've tried. (Pandora and Poweramp.) My vehicle is a Honda Civic 2014.
I have a 2014 Ford Focus and it works fine, however sometimes it doesn't update... It's weird. I use Spotify though.

I love Hondas, this is the first American I've owned in about a decade and a half ?
When it initially paired, does it ask if you want to make primary phone and synchronize? Something similar? Ford uses 'SYNC' and it shows everything, plus reads out my messages. Proprietary Microsoft stuff I guess.
I'm sure it can be done. I'd Google it and start reading the Honda forums. That's how I fixed all my Honda stuff.

I haven't tried phone calls. Pandora works on the Pandora app preinstalled on my Honda, but everything else over Bluetooth doesn't show anything. Everything plays over Bluetooth, just missing the metadata. My vehicle is a Civic 2014 so it's not horribly out dated. Just wondering if others have the same issue. Looks like it's gotta be my car since others are not having issues.

I've got a New Potato Tunelink I've been using with my old Verizon Galaxy Nexus successfully for about a year. Since that time I've gone through several ROMs and Android versions, 4.2.1, 4.2.2 and now 4.3. Bluetooth audio always worked fine with Pandora, Google Music and Pocket Casts.
I got a Verizon Moto X yesterday and while I can pair it with the Tunelink and it plays, music skips, stutters and is unlistenable. Voices sound worse, they're low or deep and also skip and stutter.
I've Googled and found lots of "bluetooth stuttering" threads all over (like this one) but none of the things I've tried have improved the audio. I've turned off wifi, changed wifi settings, tried it with and without the battery saver turned on. I took it out of the box and set it up yesterday, I doubt a factory reset would do anything for me.
I can plug in the stereo minijack and it sounds fine but the Tunelink was supposed to stop the inconvenience of that and did, until the Moto X.
Any ideas? Anyone experiencing the same issue?
I've been using J3 Bluetooth headphones and the moto x has been performing better than my GS4 did. I can put the phone down at my gym and walk 30 feet away and it doesn't skip or degrade.
I don't think it's the phone.
Have you tries re-pairing?

Just to be clear, I have the Verizon variant of Moto X also. Have you considered trying a replacement Moto x?
Also, the Moto X is bluetooth 4.0 and the Galaxy Nexus is 3.0. Could it be that your headset doesn't play nice with 4.0?

I haven't considered a replacement yet, the fact the stores don't have them is a factor.
Good point about 3.0/4.0, the specs on the Tunelink don't specify, I'll contact them.

I have my Galaxy Nexus which works fine.
I ordered this and it should be here today to test out.
I have the same issue with a Motorola Roadster 2. Static is pretty bad when on the phone with other people.
The Kinivo BTC450 Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit arrived yesterday and works great. It seems to be the X with the Tunelink. I actually like the Kinivo better as it also allows phone calls and the remote/mic allows me to start/stop music and podcasts.
I also have a Tunelink and am having the same stuttering issue with the audio. Works great with my Nexus 4. Not so much with the Moto X.
+1 for the diagnosis of the Tunelink not playing nice with bluetooth 4.0
I also am experiencing issues with my Moto X and bluetooth. Something tells me it is due to the custom bluetooth 4.0 implementation that Motorola used for Android 4.2.2. I figure that the only "real" fix will be waiting for the 4.3 OTA to add official support.
I tried everything under the sun to resolve my issues. I did a factory reset, un-paired and re-paired, tested on multiple devices and even did a RMA with Verizon. I called up Motorola prior to the RMA and told them about the issue and they said that it was a defective unit. I'm planning on calling them again today to let them know they have an actual issue with at the very least the verizon moto x.
As a follow-up, while my new Bluetooth unit does not stutter and sounds great, my phone now consistently reboots itself after pairing but not until I initiate playing something.
Thankfully the phone reboots quickly.
I am going to wait till the first OTA is released and see if it resolves the issue or not.....if it still has the problem then I'll have to try a 3rd RMA.
I have LG stereo headset, jlabs crasher speaker, and an eclipse headunit and i dont' have any issues with playback. Are you just letting things play or are you messing with the device while playing music? I know on both my Moto X (vzw) and GS3 i'd get some stuttering some times if the phone was under some heavy usage.
I'm experiencing stuttering on my VZW Moto X DE with my Tunelink as well. I had stuttering on my GNex on one version of 4.2.x but all other builds worked fine and it got much better when I upgraded to 4.3, so I'm hoping a new Moto X 4.3 rom will fix this...
Add me to the list of people having the stuttering issue with the Moto X (GSM Dev Edition) and the TuneLink Auto BT unit. Frustrating as hell. I hope the KitKat upgrade fixes it.
Bump. Tunelink is stuttering for me too. Must be incompatible. My tune link is wired to the headphone jack (not using FM transmitter). Sucks.

Not tunelink related but when listening to my Moto X in car with my Alpine UTE-42BT I notice a crazy amount of skipping/stuttering. Doesn't mater what music player I use. If I turn the device off and restart it seems to fix it for a brief time.
I created a post here about my issues. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48496071#post48496071
Anyone else having the same problems or have a solution it's driving me insane!?
apologies i forgot about this thread. i bought my TuneLink over two years ago. i emailed them and they are honoring my warranty by sending out a new revision of the device. its one they're currently working on releasing and i've been on a waiting list to get it.
so far i've sent in my current device and they sent me the same revision. i'm still waiting on the new device, which is supposed to take care of all issues. I have a Vizio soundbar at home and i have no stuttering issues. looking forward to the update.
What after market car stereo do you recommend for the moto x? Looks like the pioneer app stereo 3 isn't compatible. Too bad cause it looks sweet on an iPhone. Jailbreak just got released so I phones are looking sweet right now especially since they work with just about everything. Maybe I just need to be turned on to the right head unit though.
Have you guys bought anything like that as of late?
Sent from my XT1058 using Tapatalk
No... because the whole concept is severely flawed and poorly executed (even with an iPhone). I keep waiting for someone to get this right and continue to be disappointed.
If you really want something like this and aren't afraid to tinker, you'd be better off, IMHO, with one of the Android head units available on eBay.
Thanks

Not personally. I would suggest one that is at least running ICS (some are still on Gingerbread). I believe there is a forum for them on this site.
Last time I looked at them they were not quite ready for prime time either, at least not for something you want to put in your vehicle tomake things simpler.
I keep waiting for something done right. I can't believe it is taking so long. I mean, all we really need is a smart watch on steroids built into a radio.
I have the feeling this will be the year. Both Google and iOS are working with major car companies. Hopefully the aftermarket doesn't get left behind

What kind of compatibility are you looking for? The after-market stereo I have connects with Bluetooth, and I can make/answer calls and use Google Play Music just fine. When I do an "Okay Google Now" my phone mic is still what's picking it up, but it speaks to me out my car's speakers.

I think you can configure Google Now to use the Bluetooth device instead -- go into Google Now, then the settings, then Voice.

Thank you for that! I think it popped up letting me know I could change the setting the first time I paired my stereo, but I was driving, so I just dismissed the popup quickly without reading it.

Do you know if it lets you do the opposite? I want play music and beyondpod and what not to play out of the bluetooth but google now to come from the phone. Specifically because on my car (VW Golf 2011) if you don't have the BT audio input selected it goes into a black hole. I like to pair my phone but sometimes want to listen to regular radio or XM radio and not be tied to play music and beyondpod.

I have used a IPhone 4S, Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung Galaxy S4 and now my new LG G2. All the other phone have been perfect for streaming music through Bluetooth except for the LG G2. The music plays really slow and the songs skip about every 5 to 10 seconds.
I am not trying to complain and in about 2,000 miles I will be getting a oil change so there might be updates for my cars Bluetooth. In the mean time I am using a audio cable to listen to my music thru my car stereo.
Anyone with simular experiences with their Uconnect. I have a 2013 Dodge Dart Rallye with the basic stereo not the touch screen.
This is because Uconnect is not compatible with the G2, or vice versa, I constantly check the Uconnect website for updates but have none so far.
Sent from my VS980 4G using xda app-developers app
Yeah, I kind of figured! Oh well, I love my G2 and my Dart...even if they don't play well together. Bluetooth calling seems flawless though...it seems to be just streaming that glitches out.
I would recommend installing CM11 and see if that fixes it. CM team use different kernels and drivers. Might solve it. Seems like a lot of work and risk losing LG specific features though.

If you're on 4.2.2 isn't it a defect in Android specific to music streaming over blue tooth? I have a 2014 Ram 1500 and BT works perfectly for phone on uConnect but not for music. I am just hoping 4.4.2 drops for the G2 soon as I think that will fix it

Not displaying in my '15 Optima, but at least it plays, better than my last car.
G3 is also common phone with this problem. There is a fix for Spotify in app store though. Still can't find a good thread about this issue if it's strictly android or OEM related or both.
Same
I don't have a solution, but I'll add in my experience...
2013 Mazda 3 with the bose system.
I had a Galaxy S3 and it worked perfectly with the car's controls and displaying album info on the dash.
I just upgraded to the Note 4 and the controls work, but I can't get album info anymore.
The S3 was up to date as much as I could get it- Android 4.4.4 with the latest music apps available. The Note 4 is also 4.4.4. The default music app does look a bit different, but I also tried Google Play Music. I played with as many settings as I could with no luck. It just doesn't display the song it's playing.
Supposedly this is because the Note 4 is using AVRCP 1.4 while the head unit is 1.3?
You have to send e mails and call and contact anyway possible. The factory units don't get updated unless the factory leans on the radio builder to make a software update. Phones get upgraded and so should radio to support the latest phones.
BAD ASS NOTE 4
Everything works for me. 2013 Toyota Tundra. Get song and album info. Spotify works as well. Worked on my Note 3 before and works the same now with the Note 4.

Yeah sucks. Using my my HTC m8 still as that is my main mode of music anyways. Still would rather my note4 work correctly instead of forgetting my m8 occasionally. Still can't find out if this is Samsung's fault or both Samsung and Honda.
I'll add to this and bump. 2014 Dodge Ram. No meta data on Uconnect head unit. My note 3 on my Verizon line displays just fine. It's definitely note 4 or latest android specific.

I too have a 14 Si, is yours a coupe or sedan? Also, I just jumped to the Note from a G3 and it worked prior to that. Could it be dependant on Android Version? I can't remember exactly but I want to say the G3 had 4.4.2
Coupe. DBP. m8 is on the 4.4.3/4 version. Was gonna convert to gpe again but HTC dropped the ball twice this week. I am guessing it's on Samsung side now. Everything call related has been very inconsistent and it's starting to get on my nerves.

Just had lunch with my mom. Working with new f150. Medium grade factory head unit:
I just switched from a turbo to a nexus 6 and I'm having issue with my 13 Honda civic. I know this is an issue with the imid not receiving the metadata to display artist, song, album. However, on my turbo I never had this issue. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue with their imid specifically, and if anyone knows what program or process in the turbo was causing it to work correctly. When I first start a pandora station it works fine. However, if I switch stations or it timesout when I stop the car and starts again it just comes up with "No title, No Artist, No Album". This isn't the worst issue to have but it is annoying as I always use pandora in my car.
Honda seems bad at bluetooth, we have more issues with my wife's 2012 pilot then I do with my 2010 Nissan. Actually my 370z is far superior.

I agree it is most likely the car. If I install an android compatible aftermarket head unit I think it would fix the problem. I guess I'm more trying to figure out why it worked on the turbo and if I can replicate it somehow. Moto was no help just stating that it was 2 different phones. Not a huge deal I guess but if someone came across a fix that would be awesome.
