Hello,
I have my music collection downloaded onto my phone's SD card, and play it through Google Play. When I first got the phone and paired it with my car (2016 Ford Mustang with the base radio, not Sync 2 or Sync 3), I had all the track information on the radio (which was the case with my previous Android phone as well). I stream the music through bluetooth. However, after the phone downloaded its first Android update (Android 7.1? I purchased the phone on Nov. 6, 2017), that information went away, and the radio dispaly now says "Unknown Unkown" for all of the music tracks. In addition, I can't search for music by artist, album, or track name anymore 😞
I updated the version of MyFord Sync in the car this evening (from version 5.9 to 5.11) in hopes that it would fix this. It didn't.
I have unpaired and re-paired the car and phone multiple times. All other features (including calling and phone directory) work as expected over bluetooth.
I know, through a Mustang owners group that I'm a member of, that this works correctly with the premium head unit that runs Ford Sync 3 and the Sony Xperia XZ premium. Kind of wondering why it doesn't work with the base radio? (I know that the base radio uses a Microsoft-based operating system, whereas Sync 3 on the premium touchscreen entertainment system in these cars runs a QNX-based operating system).
