Switched to Samsung Galaxy S4, no bluetooth song titles

I've seen a couple other mentions of this, it always worked on my iPhone.

I called 800 mymercedes and they blame Samsung. Nothing they can do.

Has anyone made this work? If so, how?

I really don't like looking at the phone when I want to know an artist or title.

Thanks in advance.

Early 2011 W212 if it matters

I just got a S4 a few days ago. It paired up with my E350 without any issues and BT streaming works fine, song title shows in the center display.

Didn't do anything special other than just pairing the phone to the car.

It's not clear what all you've done. If you haven't already, try deauthorizing everything and re-pairing. I had the same problem but with iPhone and this fixed it.
