Note 4 Can't control phone through car stereo

[dsx968]

I've tried every music app I have and although they work via bluetooth I can't control the phone with my car stereo. No track skipping on any of them. And none of them show any information either, just the generic track, artist, album.
I also noticed when I made a phone call that the numbers displayed on the stereo were all jibberish.
This would be really stupid if I have to wait for Alpine to create a fix for this (unlikely) and that the jump from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 changed everything that much.

It's got to be your alpine because it works great on my pioneer head unit.

I got it to work finally. I had to update the firmware for the stereo. They sure need to make that an easier process to do. It works great now.
