Song name on car is not in sync with actual song

Song name on car is not in sync with actual song

There are several topics with the same issue but none of them were fixed... I´m kind of annoyed. Since almost 2 years I´m streaming songs via bluetooth to my car and almost everything works fine, but the song information is out of sync. If you select a song on your phone it syncs, but after skipping a song on your stearing button e.g. it shows the previous song that  (stays the same title). After skipping again it shows again the previous title. So it´s always one song behind the actual song. Nothing fixed after years, nothing! Tried AppleMusic, no problem at all. It´s a spotify app problem for sure, because it works on every other streaming app.

 

IPhone Xs, latest spotify software for 2 years. Many people have the same issues like me, whether iOS or Android.

The song names are always for the last song after the first song.
For instance, if I play
Across the Sea by Weezer
and then the song ends and goes to
Sister Golden Hair by America
it will continue to say
Across the Sea by Weezer
until the next song
Fast Car by Tracy Chapman
comes on, and then the screen will read
Sister Golden Hair by America

I thought this was an issue with the VW display panel, but then I switched to Amazon Music, and it worked fine. As a programmer, I would guess that you're not sending a '\0' null at the end of the song titles.
