TOPIC:

i have recently had it updated but it did work after that but i dont have android auto.

So is your car pre 2017 in which case it is probably version 2 firmware? 

I only use Amazon music but I'm not in the UK at the moment to see what happens on a version 2 rlink.

Yes my car is a pre 2017. I have been reading all about AVRCP bluethooth version and there being different versions such as 1.3, 1.4, 1.6 but I have no idea whether that is causing this.

It is really getting on my nerves!

Now I know I had no problem using Amazon Music and TuneIn Radio when the car was still using 2.2.17.803 software but have not tried since upgrding the car software to 2.2.19.300.

As I said before, I am currently out of the country but will be back early next week so will give it a try then to see if there is any change. 

What make and model of phone aare you using?

The phone I am using is a Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus.

I'm Back, OK I have tried Spotify in my car, 2016 Model using V2 Firmware ending .300

I don't usually use Spotify so I had to set it up on my Samsung S8 do the registration with Spotify before using it, etc etc.

I played it straight from my phone using Bluetooth via the Media Player in Rlink2 and track title is showing OK.
Once started on the phone I can control the tracks from the album I am playing with no issue.
I guess there is a way of setting up a playlist in Spotify which I have not done.
The 2 Tabs showing, when in the Media Player in Rlink2, are Player, which shows the info of the currently playing track, and Current List, which only shows the item playing, not sure what would be shown here if I actually create a playlist rather than just playing an album.
