I'm in the same boat as you, Mac1235. Really hoping for some sort of fix.

In the meantime for those of you with issues of play/pause button, next/previous buttons, and song information displaying for your music apps, I have a recommendation that ended up working for me. As far as Android phones go, I believe the "Device Type" under your Bluetooth settings needs to be "Mobile phone." Kind of a no brainer you would think, but my phone came in "All devices" mode and that's what fixed the buttons and display issues for me.

EDIT: Just to be clear, the above tip fixed my music app on my phone, not Pandora or any of the other streaming music apps. At that, though, if you adjust the music when your local music app is running - BEFORE using Pandora, etc. - it will stay at that volume for Pandora, etc. I put my car volume up to 50 before using Pandora and just control the volume with my phone thereafter.
