Hello.

2014 GS350. I have been using the iPhone for years and just switched iPhone 7 to a Google Pixel 3 as I have a hard time supporting a company that was caught red handed slowing older phones down so you would have to buy new ones.

I am able to sync my Bluetooth no problem and it plays and sounds great.
Issues -
-It no longer shows the music info on the screen. It is just blank. iPhone it would show all info in apple music, spotify and ibooks. New phone will not show anything from any app.
-I can no longer push the off hook button and say call so and so or text so and so. Nothing happens. If I say OK Google, (with no buttons pushed on steering wheel) it allows me to say text so and so but it doesn't turn off my music so it picks up the radio and tries to type out what is said. I have to turn down radio, then say ok google. iPhone would stop radio automatically when I push the off hook button.
-If I want to call someone, I have to press the speak button and have to go through all the menus to make a call. So much more difficult than with iPhone.

My biggest frustration is not seeing music from spotify on the display and not being able to hold the off hook button to say ok google or call or text when pushing it.

Does anyone have work arounds or instructions on how to do this or should I go return the Pixel and get an iPhone.

Thanks for the help.
