Default Pandora Track Info

Is anyone getting Pandora track info on their MMI when streaming it over Bluetooth? I swear I used to get this when I first started using it. But now on the MMI display, the Title is stuck on a song from several weeks ago, and Artist as well as Album just say Samsung (which is the make of my cell phone).

It does on mine.

Do you shut down your phone every night at power off? Sometimes if you start over from scratch it will re set.

I don't shut it down at night. I just restarted it, though, and it flushed out the values on the display. Now the Title, Artist and Album are blank. And they are staying that way after playing several songs.

Maybe I will try it with a different phone and see if the phone is the issue.

I found it was sporadic with Pandora. Spotify hasn't had a problem.

Once it stopped displaying in Pandora it would stay like that until restarting the car. I use an iPhone 5S.

I have a Galaxy S3 on Verizon with a MY2014 2.0 P+ w/Nav and mine does the exact same thing.

Originally it would display track info for a random song on my SD card. Then when Pandora started, it would switch to what was being streamed to the car.

But immediately after upgrading to Android v4.3 it quit displaying ANY track info. It still streams music and I can still FWD tracks with the volume control on the center console, but no track info when using Pandora or music from SD card. Haven't tried Spotify yet.

I can't speak to Android but the same thing happened with my IOS 6.x update. The MMI software 0715-2 update fixed the bluetooth streaming missing song info issue. (2014 models should already have the latest MMI software). Since most dealers won't perform these updates under warranty without a reason, tell them you lost the song info and understand 0715-2 will fix it. Worked for me and lots of others over on the C7 A6/S6 forums.

Like AreSee, I also have a Galaxy S4 with Android 4.3. And same behavior - no song info, but can forward tracks with the center console volume control ****.

I just checked it with an iPhone 4s with iOS 6.1.3 and it works just fine. All the song info appears.

So that's very strange.

What MMI version do you have? I believe MMI 0609, introduced in later year 2013 models, was the first version to correct the Bluetooth song info issue for iDevices. Again, not sure about any Android models.

Yes, the last characters of my software version are P0609.

Well, that appears to confirm that MMI 0609 or later fixed the iOS 6.x or 7.x Bluetooth song info issue. I suspect Audi can't keep up as fast with all of the various Android powered model and software variants and changes.
