Artist/Track Information from Phone

Draman · 05-14-2015, 10:55 AM

Wondering if anyone knows of a solution to this problem. When I first bought my car (2014 650i GC), I had a Galaxy Note 2. When streaming media over bluetooth (Pandora, IHeart Radio etc) the idrive was able to display the artist name, album name and song name in the entertainment information section if I put it in split screen mode. I just upgraded my phone to a Galaxy S6 Edge and the car is no longer able to do this. It simply says Unknown for all of the 3 categories. Is this some setting that I'm unaware of or is there some incompatibility with my new phone?

Seen the same problem listed by S6 owners in BMW's, Mercedes, Subaru's and Kia's.
Earlier phones worked fine with all of them.

Will have to see if its a Samsung update that needs to come out or a BMW Bluetooth one, but obviously Samsung changed something.
