My final two suggestions are for you to download a streaming app like pandora that is free and see if you have the playing time show up in that and if you can control the next song. Those should work.

Snagit posted what the latest MMI version is so check which version you have, and get it updated if it isn't the latest.
Mine actually displays the song information. I just can't controll it from the MMI.

Yup, Bluetooth Audi streaming is one way only and must be controlled on the phone - at least at this point. The next gen of 4G MMI apparently will provide more complete control of an Android phone as has been described for the new Audi A3.

Edit: The AT&T 4G MMI on the 2015 A3 will not be the Google partnership that was announced a couple of weeks ago. It's not clear if the A3 will have more communication with a phone than is currently, probably just faster. The new Android/Google partnership's mobile system and new MMI is not likely to appear in an Audi until 2015 with MY2016 models.

Thanks. That answers my question. Any idea when the next gen of 4G MMI is likely to appear in the A7?

Nothing announced but I wouldn't be surprised if the C7 series saw this next year in the MY2016 as part of a mid-cycle refresh. This year for MY2015 might be too soon but I guess we'll see.

I can hit next song when I'm streaming Pandora or Spotify through the MMI and it will advance.
