How can I get my S5 to play music on my Kenwood KDC-U5468T car stereo via Bluetooth?

S5 Bluetooth connection with Kenwood KDC-U5468T drama.

G'day everybody.
I have an S5 that will connect/pair to the Kenwood car stereo via Bluetooth but I can only use the Call function. I can not play any music over the Kenwood car system via BT.
I have BT to some other vehicles & I get both Call & Music functions. The Music profile isn't showing in the BT Settings page either.
I had a read through some ideas here & tried them but I still can't fix the problem.
It is an SM-G900I with the 4.4.2 Android Version.
Any help or suggestions you could give me would be greaty appreciated.
Thanks.

Any chance the kenwood deck you're using only allows Bluetooth calling and not audio streaming? I have a kenwood deck in one of my vehicles and my S5 works great with both functions. I, using the KD-R80bt unit

I had this exact problem when I switched to my new phone. To solve, I had to re-configure my Kenwood unit to control the phone.
Set receiver to Standby.
Select Menu->Setup->App Setup (may be another link in there) and set up bluetooth and select your phone.
This got me everything connected. I can now control music player over bluetooth, use Pandora, etc. direct from the receiver without touching the phone.
Good luck!
