Hi. I use Rdio as my main music app. Whenever I plug my car stereo to my phone via Bluetooth I tries to play a song from the Play Music app. Since I doesn't have any songs in it, have to take my phone off my pocket and start Rdio manually. And of course I can't control the songs nor they appear the name correctly.
Is there anyway to make Rdio the main app so it starts automatically?
Is there a way to control (play, pause, change songs) and make it show the name on the screen?
Thank you very much.

So I recently acquired a new vehicle with Bluetooth. When I enter the vehicle and the phone does the initial connection.....the phone automatically opens the music app and starts to play music. I am a huge Howard Stern fan and mainly listen to his show from a downloaded MP3 on my phone. I do not use the native music app for Howard because his shows are 4+ hours long and the native music app does not have bookmarks. So I use Astro Player Pro. It works great with really long tracks and bookmarking.
So the problem is that when the vehicle connects the phone opens the native music app and not Astro Player Pro. Sometime I can even enter the car with Astro Player open and when it connects it will override Astro Player Pro and open the native music app. I checked to see if I could change the default player and it appears as though I cannot.
Do I have any options here? Anyway to make it open Astro Player Pro? Or at least not open the native app at all?
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks
This is the only setting that can be changed in reference to BT audio connection. I changed it to Portable Player.
I would also like to know if there is a fix for this. Mine does it when I have both my phone's paired to the same Bluetooth, And when I hang up my other phone, my evo music player automatically turns on. So annoying.

thanks my english is not good
Not sure if this helps or not, but I use a car dock with my Bluetooth radio. I had to launch the Car app, then go to the settings by tapping in the signal/battery area. From there, uncheck the Auto Play option. You can add shortcuts to music apps by opening up the music application (not in car mode) and selecting add shortcut from the menu. Once you do that, the shortcut will now show up in the Music Apps section of car mode. Hope this helps.
If you have Tasker, you can probably set a task to auto-kill the app on connect to the Bluetooth address. I had to do this on my Sense-based ROMs, but ymmv. It can be finicky.
When I'm using an app with a lockscreen widget such as play music or Spotify every once in a while the lock screen widget will start convulsing, shaking wildly. Now this wouldn't be a problem since I don't use the widget, but this also keeps my Bluetooth devices (both my car and Bluetooth headphones) from controlling the music. So no play pause forward or back commands from my car out headphones get heeded... how do I fix this?

So, I just got a 2012 Camry, and I've paired my device with the bluetooth in the car. When I get in, music automatically starts playing. I don't mind that it does this, I just wish I had control over which app it starts. It randomly chooses between Apollo and Play Music.
Is there an easy way to control this? Using CM10.2 if it matters.

What music player app do you use for bluetooth in your car?
I'm trying to find a player that will work with bluetooth in my car but every player I tried doesn't work in my car. No song info is shown and I can't change songs on the steering wheel, everytime I do it pauses and I can't get to play again through the car.
The stock player does all that but it doesn't have a good eq like poweramp or the fading options like that.
I've tried playerpro, rocket music player, jetaudio, and n7player but none of them work with bluetooth
N7 works over Bluetooth for me. Same with Google Play and numerous streamers like Pandora and Songza to name a few.

I have never had this problem ever, on several devices and cd players. But, my habitual usage includes Google play music app. It works well enough for me, and is fast on hsdpa or better.

Any player should work over BT. Once your connection is up, just navigate to the player and you should be good to go. Since BT is just providing the A2DP connection, the player doesn't care where the music is being sent to. It just plays it to the audio out source. I think your problem is your headunit, but can't be 100% sure. My players (all of them, both streaming and non-streaming) work on any BT car I've connected too. Some cars won't display the album cover art and so forth, but the music comes across just fine.
Well any music app will play music, but I can't seem to change the song from my headunit, it has to be changed from the phone. Changing songs from the car will pause it everytime.
I would like this feature to work with my car on an app like poweramp
For me, All the controls work from steering wheel for every music player I used (from stock to ASOP) May be it depends on car stereo too.
