I have a rooted Galaxy S3's and updated the software from 4.1.2 to clean rom 4.3 this last Saturday.
I have a 2014 Chevrolet Camaro with MyLink. I've only had it a couple of weeks.
I swear that when I played music via XM, USB, or FM while I was using Google maps navigation, and my phone was connected via Bluetooth, that it would say the directions through the speakers over a lower volume of music, then raise the music volume once finished. This week this does not occur. No directions at all over the speakers yet everything else works like normal, like the audio on the car, and the navigation on just the phone speakers.
Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? Was there some information I missed in relation to MyLink and Android versions?
Thanks!

I know this is old, but I'm in the same boat as you. I have seen some Iphone users find a goofy work around, but I do not know the Android method. I have my phone connected via bluetooth, bringup google maps and navigate. No audio through the truck speakers (2014 silverado with 8" mylink). Everybody wants some of your money, so GM would rather make their own apps work for you... Like Bringgo . I would even use Bringgo, but they only released it for a few vehicles. Guess you use Onstar or pay $800 for the nav module.
GPS Audio
I know this is old, but if anyone was still having this problem here is your answer. When you have your phone paired to your car you have to turn to blue tooth on your radio to here your phones GPS/you tube vid or anything coming from your phone besides phone call ( because it goes in phone mode automatically).
If anyone knows how to hack your mylink to play text msg or to mirror your phone please let me know.
thanks
is there any way to add maps and navigation to my linby on stark the factory setting only has turn by turn
If you can't hear the directions it's because you've turned down the volume for navigation. It's easy to do accidentally. To fix it, start up a new navigation route and when the music lowers to give the nav a chance to speak, turn up the volume nob. You just need to correct the balance. Happened to me and I stumbled across the fix.
I used to have the same problem. The issue is actually with how your phone talks to the car. There is usually a delay when a phone is transmitting audio by bluetooth. Some phones simply transmit the information slower than others. I had the same issue with my LG Optimus F3 and chevy cruze; i would rarely get any audio directions, and when i did, they were cut off. That all went away when i switched to an LG Vortex. Now i don't have any problem at all.
I've noticed that ever since I upgraded to 38R I keep getting disconnected from my bluetooth car stereo. When it disconnects the Bluetooth icon on the OPO goes grey. It looks like the Bluetooth module is crashing and then getting reset by the OS. I just got done with a 30 minute drive and it happened 3 times. Has anybody else noticed anything funky with the Bluetooth stack?
I've also had the phone itself hard crash several times. Not sure if 38R is ready for prime time.
I'm not running anything custom, just pure 38r on a rooted/twrp device. No exposed or other mods.
I updated manually last night and this morning on the drive in, I had it suddenly switch from my Ford's Sync system to the internal speaker. The dash display showed the phone was attached and when I switched from Pocket Casts to Play Music, it reflected what was playing, but the sound came out of the phone, not the car stereo. I went into the settings and toggled music off and on, switched Bluetooth off and on, then switch the stereo to AM radio then back to Bluetooth and it behaved properly.
I was using Waze which keeps the screen on and things were fine until I got off the freeway and shut down Waze. The screen shut off after a minute as normal, but when I double-tapped the screen to wake the display up, the audio dropped from the stereo and started playing from the phone. Hmmmm. I unpaired Sync and deleted the OPO from the car's side and I re-paired the phone.
It seemed OK until my drive home just now when once again, tapping the screen to wake it up cause the audio to drop back to the speaker. Since I don't use nav apps all the time, this is clearly an unacceptable bug that makes me wonder HTF they're beta-testing. It's nice that the GPS doesn't seem totally broken and the touchscreen goofiness is gone, but being unable to maintain Bluetooth connectivity for media is a huge gaffe.
Ok, I'm still trying to figure out what is going on here. I restored my TWRP backup from 33R and I had two bluetooth crashes on the way home today. Could there be a firmware update that is causing this that would not have been rolled back as part of the restore? I've read online that there is no new radio in 38R? Is there something else causing it?
I ran the full 33r factory image and it fixed the Bluetooth issues. I ran that way for a couple of days and had no BT problems even on a 2+ hour drive. I did a clean 33r to 38r OTA and within the first 30 minutes in the car had a BT freeze and disconnect. Its pretty clear, at least with my device, that there is something wrong with the BT stack on 38r.
I have little different but seems to related with BT.
When BT is enabled, my wifi performance drops significantly. I tried to remove all paired devices and reset BT config, but nothing really fixed the issue. I need to turn off BT completely, if my wifi speed goes down. I'm running 38R. I don't think I noticed any issue on 33R.

I'm having this exact same issue since upgrading to 38r. Bluetooth audio works fine until screen goes off and I turn it on again. Then audio comes out of the phone, but Bluetooth icon is still lit up and otherwise still connected to the car. VERY annoying.

Yeah... Right now when I get into the car, audio plays though the speaker (despite bluetooth connection) unless I open Play Music specifically. Somehow that does something that also fixes other apps (Slacker, book readers, etc).

I'm on 44S, and have a similar issue. Had the issue since 38R though. Bluetooth stays connected to my car fine if I'm not using the OPO or if I'm just streaming music. But in phone calls, it drops the bluetooth all the time. Really really annoying.

I'm having same problem. Disconnects but just on calls and this happens with my BT headset. This doesn't actually happen on my stock Nexus 5. I'm thinking CM must be using different BT drivers? It's been the same on 33 and 44. I'm betting it carries to 5.0. If I don't find a workaround I may be forced to go to a different ROM. Just have no idea which one may be unaffected?
any fix for this?
Hi,
Bluetooth is not working.
Everything was just fine until v. 44s. I've upgraded (so sorry for that) to version 05Q. Then, I had severe touch screen problem.
OPO tech support made clean install of Oxygen OS in order to solve the touch problem, but since the Oxygen update, my Bluetooth is actually not working.
I am trying to work with my car system (Kenwood DDX 8026 BT).
The OPO successfully pairs with the system, but 99 of 100 calls won't pass via BT to the car speakers.
I am also unable at all to stream music via A2DP whatsoever.
Any ideas would be very welcomed.
Amir.
Having the same issue - did you find a fix?
Hi, I've been having some fairly big issues with my in-car Bluetooth and phones. I have a 2013 Subaru WRX with the stock stereo which is made by Clarion.
I first started experiencing problems with it about 2 years ago: I would be driving along when all of a sudden my phone would randomly disconnect from my car while I'm talking, listening to music or just had the GPS running (or a combination of these). Oftentimes my car stereo will spaz out once it disconnects and will actually freeze (all buttons are non functioning, including steering wheel controls, power button, am/fm buttons, volume, etc) and take many minutes to reset the connection or it won't do anything at all (the stereo says, "please wait" or "paused" or will get hung on the song title that was playing when the phone disconnected) and my phone won't reconnect to it - I'll have to restart my car. Sometimes the stereo will reset and simply won't reconnect to my phone.
The kicker is that it's an intermittent problem, but still happens semi-frequently for periods at a time then it seems to get better. I've tried deleting my paired phone list in the car and on the phone, I've tried formatting my phone and nothing worked. I even brought my car into Subaru to diagnose the problem because I feel it's a car issue and they claimed it worked with their own phone which I feel is BS because they didn't want to fix it while the car was still on warranty, but that's another story! They said they couldn't fix it because they saw no problem (couldn't reproduce it) even though I provided them with video and pictures of it occurring.
This first started happening with my unlocked, stock, HTC One, m7 (currently running lollipop) . I thought there was a chance it could be related to an app or the OS but was not able to diagnose or isolate the issue. I just recently bought a Nexus 5x (marshmallow), unlocked, stock, thinking if it was the phone then this would fix the problem. It actually seems to have gotten worse with the frequency, however I've noticed that the phone is better at pairing with my car after the connection is lost. I still can't reproduce this on a consistent basis.
Can anyone suggest some possible causes and fixes? I'm hoping someone here is a Bluetooth Guru!

Anyone else had any connectivity issues? 2013 Toyota 86 and i cant connect to the car stereo... may be time to get Android Auto, finally have a reason
But, in the meantime, i would love to hear from you if you've managed to connect.
2016 Ford Mustang GT with Sync 3. Android auto and bluetooth both work as expected with 0 issues (other than personally I think android auto blows monkey chunks.)

Have a 2015 Camry Hybrid and don't have an issue connecting to my Entune Audio system.
14 Grand cherokee SRT with 8.4 Uconnect and no issues at all. My iphone 7 plus wont stream smoothly to my headunit (choppy audio) but the S8+ does.
No issues connecting to the aftermarket deck in my jeep or the factory system in my 2017 work Chevy Equinox.
No problem connecting with the radio on my 2016 RAV-4.
2011 civic. No issues other then it takes a little longer to connect than my last phone, and my car no longer displays artist/track info. Hopefully it'll get fixed in an update.

Unfortunately, it won't happen. Samsung phones haven't displayed metadata on Civic stereos since the Note4. It's something about Samsung's custom Bluetooth stack when they upgraded it to Bluetooth 4.0; it doesn't offer full backwards compatibility. It will connect and play audio and even respond to controls via BT, but no metadata. And those apps that circumvent the issue by transmitting metadata in an alternate way, none of them work. We Samsung/Civic users have been fighting with this for a few years now to no avail.
And Honda doesn't put out updates for their stereos, so nothing will ever be fixed from their end. The only "solution" is to get a different stereo or a newer car. Or a new phone.
That's the worst part – every other phone works fine. iPhone, LG, Motorola, Pixel... It's just Samsung phones that don't play nice with older Honda stereos.
I am having an issue where call audio and contacts work between my T-Mobile S8 and Kia Optima EX 2012 with the Navigation/Infinity system, but no Streaming audio. There is no option on my phone for it, and I can Enable/Disable Streaming Audio on the car, pair, unpair, try different combinations, even factory reset the head unit and the Bluetooth on the head unit. Nothing so far. My car does show what's playing, but it still only plays through the phone and I can pause, skip, etc. from the car.
Anybody else had/has the same issue?

I know you posted this a while ago - but I have never had issues connecting blue tooth to my personal car (BMW X1) - I also travel heavlily and I have never had issues connecting to a variety of different rental cars, Fords, Kias, Toyota, etc.
Hope you found a fix or got it working
Stock stereo in a 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser. I have no problems connecting, streaming audio, or making phone calls. My audio streaming does play with a lot of cracks, but it still plays. I might mess with EQ settings but I haven't had a chance yet.
2015 WRX with stock stereo (no nav, non-Harmon version). Here are the seemingly random issues I have with bluetooth:
- Connects fine most of the time, but will sometimes connect and the audio will be muted and requires me to pause the track on my phone and then press play.
- Audio will cut out at times and revert to playing through the phone's speakers, but the phone will still be connected and call audio will play through the car speakers and I can still control the track next/previous with my steering wheel controls.
- Audio will not connect sometimes when my wife is in the car wearing her FitBit, even with my phone's auto discovery turned off and nearby devices turned off.
- Track info sometimes gets stuck on the currently playing track and will not change until the car is turned off, the app is closed and process killed, and connection is made again.
Like I said, these issues appear to be random and seem to get worse when someone else is in the car with me or when I'm wearing an Android Wear watch. I've played with every connection setting I can in my phone but I'm sure this all boils down to it being a crappy stereo system. Nothing like being on the freeway during the beginning of a long commute and having my music cut out on me and having to switch back over to the (ugh...) FM radio.

I have the same issue. Sound is clear, music plays fine, wheel commands work fine... even the contact list, which only showed partially (200 contacts or so), now shows all of them...
But Title/Artist/Album do not show up, only says Samsung S8.
How do I enable the metadata?

As I outlined in my post, you can't.
Why not?
I have the same issue, calls work, changing track, music playing, good quality of sound, contact info, full phonebook (on the S2 it was just 200 contacts or so).... but no media metadata! This is software issue and it seems that in other units than the Civic (maybe post AVCRP 1.3) it works...
