Wrong metadata displayed on car radio via Bluetooth

Hi!

On my Mazda 3 2018 the song title and song name freezes after first track is played after i start my car. The forward and backward buttons to change song  on my steering wheel still works though.

 

This is with my Oneplus 7t Pro connected through bluetooth. This started to happens after two (or one, cant be sure) updates of Spotify ago.

 

Hello all,

 

We can confirm that the underlying root cause for what caused this issue when it was first opened has been resolved. The amount of votes per week and reports this issue has received have slowed down considerably and we see quite a few confirmations that everything works as usual, which confirms that for the majority of users, this should be fixed and the remaining reports have different causes.

 

We've noticed Pioneer and JVC-Kenwood radios being mentioned in the posts. If that's the case, check here for more information, as these are unrelated to this investigation.

 

There is a subset of other devices which still experience a variant of this issue - delays in the metadata updates or similar. Investigations have shown that these are most likely caused by deep sleep regimes or the odd BlueTooth incompatibility.

 

Full support is only possible on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto enabled dashboards. We'll keep tweaking and optimizing the app to try and alleviate issues, however we cannot guarantee complete functionality across all different car and phone models. Some users have posted different alternatives in this thread that could help so it's worth trying those out.

 

If there're any further updates, we'll make sure to post them.

 

Take care and safe driving!

Same problem on VW Polo 2018 and VW Polo 2021.

Plus several other android auto related issues. Exhausting to be honest.

Go tidal guys the clowns here won't care to fix the bug we're not Samsung or Apple. Tidal app is really nice and simple I have no bugs on my 6t. The only issue is the lack of some local artists.

Did anyone try the latest 8.6.36.1070 to see if it solves it?

I may give it a shot later today if not advised otherwise.

The problem has been fixed, at least for me.

I hope that Spotify will not break it again 😁
