I'm writing a new media app that plays music from the Internet, and I'm 
trying to use this app in my new car which supports Android Auto and also 
Bluetooth audio streaming.  On my head unit, I have a media button that 
enables the bluetooth stream.  I can play music in my app and it plays 
through the head unit just fine.  My problem is that the display on my head 
unit has a 'Browse' button, and when I select it, I'm assuming it should 
show me a listing of the songs that the player knows about.  Instead I just 
get a 'No content' message.

I'm now thinking that my assumption is incorrect and that there is no way 
to browse the media over Bluetooth.  Is that correct?

When I hook up via USB and launch Android Auto, my player appears and I can 
browse the media through Android Auto just fine.  I just wish Android Auto 
could work wirelessly because I hate having the USB cable connected all the 
time.  It's a hazard while driving and, having to spend 2 hours in the car 
every day, it's sort of hard on the phone battery since it's constantly 
draining and charging during those times. (And my Samsung GS6 doesn't have 
an easily replaceable battery, boo!)

So, my question is, is it possible to browse media files over Bluetooth? 
 Or am I chasing an impossible dream?

Thanks for any and all assistance.

Mike
