Bluetooth car functions (skip/restart song, song information) not working - Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers

Hello
I am two days in to fully using my pixel 5. I upgraded from pixel 2 running Android 10.
I have noticed an incredibly infuriating bug when listening to spotify in my car. On my pixel 2 there were no problems.
The normal process would be for me to start the ignition in my car, phone connects to bluetooth after a few seconds, and spotify would start playing automatically. Song information would load and be seen on the cars infotainment. The artist would show, and the song and the album, etc. Skip song, restart song, all works from steering wheel buttons and car's touch screen.
Now, using the pixel 5, my phone would connect to my car but no song information would get transferred to my cars infotainment. See picture attached.

Skip function not available. Song details not available. Volume control still works though.
Is anyone else having these problems? My car is a VW Golf 2014, mk7 and doesn't support android auto - I've never used that. Like I said I had no problems whatsoever in pixel 2 Android 10. Thanks!

Ehm, I found it!
It isn't a bluetooth issue....I read this topic

and I tried to disable Adaway and...no overheat! no battery drain!

May 1 patch - Now Car thinks Phone is making phone calls on Bluetooth Connect

Got the May 1 patch, and now, when I turn on my car, the phone connects, then a few seconds later, the car goes into phone call mode -- thinking that my phone is making a phone call. But... it's not.
My own phone call shows up on the Car's display along with a call time counter, and the only way to get rid of this is to press "hang up" on the steering wheel, or to make a real call, then hang up. VERY annoying.
I tried resetting the Bluetooth System App, Rebooting the phone, and re-pairing the phone to the car... No diff.
Any suggestions are welcome!
Check your SmartThings setings .

I've been having a similar problem after the April patch. Phone connects to car and when a call comes in the car starts to ring and when I accept or hang up it continues to ring until I shut the car off and back on. I have a 2017 Honda and this happens with my Note 9 and my S10+.

Android Auto and VW Active Info Display

Hi,
Do you know if it's possible to display the song name on the Active Info Display when your phone is connected through Android Auto?
I have been trying to change so many things (Spotify permission, system permissions) with no luck, AID it's just showing Android Auto and not the song name.
Thank you.
In AA settings check the option in the attached pic. The song and singer name will be shown in a banner, for a few seconds, on top of any screen. I stopped using this option because it is very annoying when in navigation mode.

It's not about showing the song on the main display, it's about showing the song on active info display that s replacing the clocks.
Not possible

I also think it is not possible, AA is made to be used on the main screen of your car, not on the gauges screen.

Well, that's so annoying.
On Honda Civic we have music information and turn by turn on instrument cluster from AA, possibly it's something that VW doesn't implemented yet or its only for some cars.
My 2020 Kia Forte LXS shows track information when I'm using the official YouTube Music app to play music.

Turn Wifi off, then back on a few seconds later with a bluetooth if/then trigger?

OK. A little background.
One of the devices I use with my phone is an OBDII "scanner" for my vehicle. They make various types. Plugin (don't like that kind, can't charge my phone at the same kind), bluetooth (don't like that kind, can't listen to my phone's music while it's paired to the OBDII device)...and a WIFI connection device.
This is the one I landed on using. The problem is, it doesn't "release" the network connection. So hours later, in the house or halfway across town (from the car) I'll notice I've got no internet or phone service because the phone still thinks it's connected to the little OBDII scanner.
So my thought was, a little script to watch for my bluetooth to UNpair from my vehicle's bluetooth (when I get out, to go in the house/work), where it would turn off the wifi for like 30 seconds, forcing the phone to drop the OBDII(wifi) so it could acquire my home wifi.
Is this do-able with an un-rooted phone? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Question Music Control Banner on Lock Screen Does Not Contain Fwd/Rwnd functionality.

Previously I had a Redmi Note 7 Pro in which I was able to fast forward or rewind songs in the lock screen by seeking the song playback bar on the lock screen just like in iOS. It was a comfortable feature. But now with the Xiaomi 11T Pro, I'm not able to find the functionality. I'm restricted to just play next/previous or pause the song. This issue is present irrespective of the music app I use (Spotify, Amazon Music). I'm not able to pinpoint whether it is a bug first of all. I mean, did Android scrap that feature? If not then is the issue related with MIUI or Android OS? One thing to note is that I'm able to use the functionality from the notification panel by swiping down when the phone is unlocked. It is a bummer that I have to unlock my phone each time to get to my favourite part of a song. It would be very helpful if someone can provide me with a workaround or a fix or a change in settings.
I'm attaching the screenshots where you can clearly see the difference below the play/pause button.
