Hi, I have exactly the same problem with no media playing via BT on my BMW yet the phone connection works fine. This first occured following a Sony software update on my ZX1 compact about a year ago. At that time, I lost the ability to skip the tracks using the in-car controls and the track listings did not display on the car but at least I could still hear music and skip tracks using the phone. More recently, I get the message that there is 'no connection' to BT (even though the phone still works fine) and it simply won't play any music at all from the phone (even though the track appears to be advancing in Spotify). I have tried everything and now getting to the end of my patience with it. Sony told me to do a hard phone software update. Nothing (other than a load of lost photos, thank you). I have tried the trick with reverting to an old version of BT as per the threads above. No help at all. I have updated the BMW software. Still no joy. I have checked the settings in Spotify such as media sharing etc. All fine and still no connection. Its driving me insane as I have to take headphones to listen to music in the car now!!
It is definitely the Sony phone because other (non-Sony!) phones all connected perfectly to the car and play full audio with track listings.
If anyone could offer some new wisdom, I'd be most grateful for their insight. Clearly my best bet is to just ditch the Sony and get something decent!
