As reported by 9To5Mac, it seems that a new feature of iOS 5 has been revealed! Using iOS 5, an iOS device streaming music can now reportedly transmit artist, track, and album information over Bluetooth to an audio receiver.
In other words, if you have a car with Bluetooth capabilities and are streaming music to the car sound system, the display on the sound system will have the song track name, artist name, and album name (that is, if you updated the song information).
Check it out!

Finally, they make use of Bluetooth Rev. 3(?) so the metadata can be accessed. It sucked not being able to see the artist name / song name on the receiver display. Yet another box checked off the list!

It’s not AirPlay, this icon shows only when you have more than 2 audio source.

Sweet! Now if only I could navigate through the iPod menus using bluetooth as well!
what about simple caller id information??
I’m still waiting for crossfading within the ipod app… I know there are other apps that can do it, but why not in the native ipod (music) app.
I’ve been waiting 5 years for this.
I have had a bluetooth deck in for so long, not one phone i’ve had stream the info. Jesus
Now if they would only update the stack to 2009 standards and include the Message Access Profile.
Will it work for voice control as well?
Dope! Can’t wait to have this available so I can finally use my phone properly in my car! Now if only the charging ports would stop blowing out… lol
My Kia can do skip to next or previous… Haven’t tried any of the other functions like random or repeat.
