When playing in my car with A2DP, car shows title of previous song

When playing in my car with A2DP, car shows title of previous song

Hey everybody, my first post on the community 🙂 This post is somehow related to this
https://community.spotify.com/t5/Ongoing-Issues/Wrong-Title-when-playing-in-car-over-A2DP/idi-p/1616...

I experience the same exact behaviour with my iPhone 6S with iOS 10.3.2 and Spotify app version 8.4.3.884 with my new VW Golf 7.

I experience this when changing track manually while listening to music via Bluetooth and A2DP :
First track played - correct title
Second track - title of first
Third track - title of second
fourth track - title of third
and so on

As I'm a software engineer myself, I tried to isolate the problem and find out what's happening. It turns out that if I listen to the entire song and let it end, when the second is played the correct title is displayed.
What I supposed is that when a track is skipped, when the new track is played, the A2DP API is not called correctly.

To be clear, at first I thought it could be a problem related to my car system, but if I do the exact same things in iOS native Music app, titles are shown correctly so to me it seems very possible that this is a Bug of the Spotify app.

Thanks for reading, I'm available for any kind of testing 🙂
