Bluetooth Data

[Bigboldbri]

I am really pleased with my XZ Premium, however I am disappointed that it does not supply track information when paired to my car stereo. I was hopeful the Oreo update might fix this but upgrade came through yesterday and still have the issue.
Anyone experience similar problem s?

What make, model, and model year is your car? Is the stereo factory installed, or aftermarket? Older systems aren't necessarily compatible with modern Bluetooth metadata. For example, my wife's 2010 Mazda6 has never shown any of that data (even though there are headings for them).

The track, album title, genre data when paired via Bluetooth is displayed fine on my car's stereo from my daughters IPhone 6s, wife's Galaxy S7 and the LG G4 the Sony has replaced. Even my Sony Xperia Z4 tablet. It is an issue specific to the XZ premium which will only display "No Data Supplied"

Fixed the issue.
After enabling Developer options under system settings you are able to change the version of AVRCP used by Bluetooth. My phone was set to use AVRCP 1.6 Changing this to version 1.5 immediately resulted in the track data etc displaying correctly on my car stereo display.

NICE. I would never have thought to look there.
