Google Music Metadata not displaying on car stereo via bluetooth on my LG G4

I just switched from and LG G2 to the G4 and before i switched when i played google music via bluetooth the song and artist information would display on my car stereo and now with my G4 it does not. I have tried a couple different 3rd party apps with no success and unpairing and pairing my device along with resetting my stereo and no luck.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what i can do to fix this??

Is your G2 on Lollipop? If not, maybe it's a compatibility issue with your car stereo. I have no issues with mine on a Mazda Connect system, but it's been updated to the latest version. Maybe yours has an update you can apply?

Having the same issue with my 2012 VW Beetle. Metadata displayed fine with my Nokia Lumia 1020 but I can't get anything to display with the G4. Very disappointing.

I have the same issue on my 2012 Silverado. I'm coming from the G3 on lollipop that showed the data.

From my G4 or GPad

Again, it's a two-way blame. It's the software update on the phone, BUT it's also a compatibility issue with your car equipment. Sometimes there are updates for the latter that fix the issue.

So update.

I had this problem this morning in the wrx.

I got it to work again though.

While the app was open, I cleared its cache, force stopped it and rebooted the g4 while still connected to the cars Bluetooth. After that, it worked.

Glad to hear that worked! Others can try that now and see if it applies to their cases as well. Thanks!
