    I have a question maybe someone can answer. I used to have a samsung s7 edge and it work great with my radio. It allowed me to stream music, and use the steering wheel controls. I just got a google pixel and now I can stream music but my steering wheel controls do not work any longer. It also does not show what song is playing on the screen. Any suggestions?

    I am using an LG V20. I had to upgrade from LG G2 because it wouldn't pair. V20 works good but I can't figure out how to get texts through the head unit.

    I'm using the new Pixel XL. It works fine usually with the truck, but sometimes it doesn't want to pair when I get in, which is annoying.

    I have a couple of year old Galaxy S5. I am not a heavy phone user, so it does everything need it to do. I like the removable battery and Micro SD card slot. It works great with the Premium Technology Package. I hope the S5 never breaks because I don't want to have to select a new phone.

    iPhone 4S, with an induction-coil case I added for charging. Charges fine although it gets warm! I've had to reset the "Bluetooth" a couple of times because the phone wouldn't connect (a mystery). Generally, it works OK.

    I just got a new cell phone, my old HTC M8 wouldn't display text messages, but my new HTC 10 does! Great.
    Text are now displayed and when i select one on the screen, it is read over the speaker!!!!
    Now I am happy.

    This may sound stupid, but have you tried rebooting the phone? :)

    What app are you playing music with? Google play?

    Do you have the entune app installed and running? (should be necessary, but worth a try).

    I have been running the pixel since it came out with no problems, hopefully one of these questions helps.

    To the folks using the S7 Edge... can you press and hold the talk button on the steering wheel to activate voice controls like you can with Siri and the iphone?
