Problem 2:

Some Galaxy S5 users have complained that song info and tracks are not showing up on their car’s bluetooth after upgrading their device to Lollipop.
Solution:
It is either a conflict problem between your Galaxy S5 device and the car kit or it is out of date memory in the car kit. We therefore recommend that you delete all Bluetooth devices from the car kit and then pair them again.
Problem 3:

Bluetooth keeps switching to the phone speaker during a call in the car – a problem many users have with their Galaxy S5 device.
Solutions:
Most likely, this problem occurs due to interference that can come from sources such as Wi-Fi, GPS navigation, car kit, and bluetooth devices. Even though the car kit is designed to withstand most interference, frequency hopping is the standard on Bluetooth devices so the problem can arise at any time. To fix the problem, you need to turn off all wireless devices in the car while making the call. Also, it is better to turn off the Wi-Fi on your device in case you are not using it.
Problem 4:

Samsung Galaxy S5 Bluetooth won’t connect to other devices is another problem that some users have reported.
Solutions:
Make sure Bluetooth is enabled in your S5 by going to Settings> Application Manager> All> Bluetooth. There should be a “Deactivate” button. If you see the “Activate” button, tap it and Bluetooth will be activated in your Galaxy S5 device.

Problem 5:

Many users have problems with Auto Mode after upgrading Galaxy S5 with Android Lollipop. According to them, in car mode, the device perfectly connects to the car via bluetooth and has no problems receiving and sending calls. The screen is also locked when a call is made or received. However, users have reported that the auto mode does not lock the screen. When a call is not being received or sent, the screen will remain in vehicle mode and users will need to unlock the screen to allow incoming and outgoing calls.
Solutions:
This problem does not mean that the hands-free car kit is damaged, it is just due to some incompatibility issues between the hands-free car kit driver and the newly updated Android OS. But first, delete the cache partition on your device and do a factory reset to see if the problem is resolved.
If the above solutions don’t work, contact your automotive equipment manufacturer.
