Thanks - answered my question perfectly!
So does it work? Meaning display songs title and artist to AVRCP 1.3 decks?
I am curious, if it does support AVRCP 1.3, does it display the artist information, track name and what not?
Anyone been able to confirm this working? I believe it does rely on the application providing the information to the AVRCP system - anyone discovered what, if any, apps do this?
I can confirm the S2 does support AVRCP 1.3 (only with the standard "Music" Player, not with Winamp)
My Samsung Galaxy S2 (bought this afternoon) was connected with my JVC KD-R801 car radio. While streaming via "Music" app, the car radio displayed some meta info (artist, song title etc). While streaming via Winamp, there was no show on the display.
The S2 has a stock rom, based on android 2.3.5

Are u sure about this.. According to what I found Android supported avrcp v1.0 because they use BlueZ bt stack.. At the time of ICS they didn't have support for v1.3.. In the meantime BlueZ is updated with AVRCP v1.3 target role, but ICS didn't update BT stack..
2nd question I wanted to ask because of this confusion.. (if u can use it I am not sure what google included in their system anymore).. Can u try to connect to head unit and control it (use your mobile as remote), play, stop, pause, next, prev..
Can u please give some feedback about this.. Thanks

This functionality broke with the ICS update and as Ghannes pointed out, only worked using the stock music player. I tried other players even the Google Play player and none of them streamed the music data over BT. I reverted my phone back to stock GB and confirmed that this functionality broke with the ICS update - even with the stock music player. Although, on ICS, only the stock music player detects shuffle and repeat controls from my car stereo (worked on GB as well). All players can detect the skip controls from my car both on GB and ICS.
well thats sad then.. Last week I upgraded to ICS stock and yesterday I ordered a mw600..
But what I am learning from oinkylicious link in the second post above is that bluetooth.org says sgs2 supports AVRCP1.3..
Confusing..
Of corse it cant tell if its broken!
Alright..
Got my MW600.
Everything working perfectly fine.. Esp. The screen.. Shows me the song title and the number I am getting a call from..
I have a GT-i9100G with Stock ROM, ICS 4.0.3

Hi,
Does anyone know if the HTC player supports AVRCP and if so how do you set it up?
I have an I-Tech Clip R35 that works great with media player but i prefer the embedded HTC player.
Cheers.
yes it does! you only need to start your favorit playinf software ... you dont need to setup any thing!!
Are you talking about A2DP (which the HTC player does fine) or AVCRP (stop, start, forward, back, etc. controls) That the HTC player doesn't seem to be able to do?

Strange ... mine works fine - both with my old Moto S9 and the Jabra BT620s. A2DP works fine, AVRCP for play/pause/next/prev all works perfectly.
Never (or rarely) use windows media player.
Lol, the only time it doesn't work is when I've left the Moto HS820 on in the car and it won't allow two headsets connected at once
cool, looks like i need to have another play, cheers.
Are there any music apps out there right now that support AVRCP 1.3/1.4? My original motorola droid's built in music app did and displayed the song information on my bluetooth car stereo, but ever since I switched to the droid X about a year ago, I have not found an app that could also send the song information to the car's head unit. Anyone have success or know of an app?
thanks
Any ready the original droid would have it and nothing else? Because it is just basically transferring meta data right?
thanks for the move stylez

GoneMAD seems to do so:
[...]
-Dashclock support through Dashclock Music Extension
-AVRCP 1.3 supported
-Sleep timer
-Samsung multi-window support
[...]
Look for it at PlayStore
But i have not tried yet
I posted this on the CM7.1 stable thread, but I think it would be better answered here.
On stock rom, I had my phone setup to my car's nav system. When I streamed audio over bluetooth using the stock Music program, the car's display showed the artist, track, and album. CM7 nightly did not, and neither does this version. Is there some way I can get that functionality back? The streaming works perfectly though. Just no information is sent over.
My previous phone (Jailbroken iPhone3GS) automatically connected to my car when I turned her on. (the car). This phone running CM7.1 stable does not. Anyway I can change that? I have to go to wireless settings, go to bluetooth, and then connect to my car manually. I haven't changed any settings in my car since I used it on the stock rom (which auto-connected)

Probably one of the limitations involved in how they got A2DP working in the first place.
Remember that A2DP didn't work at all until a few days ago (and I think it was nonworking on the I9100 for a few months.)
Alright, so there's nothing I can actually do to fix the issue? That's fine, it's not a huge inconvenience.

Yeah, you're just going to have to wait for CM to be updated.
Does anyone have this issue? I'm a little new to Android as I just dumped my iPhone.
Basically, when streaming music to my car radio, my iPhone would provide artist information, album, etc ... everything about whatever is playing. On the One however, album, artist etc displays as UNKNOWN and the ticker for the length of the song counts 1 second, 2 seconds and after 3 it starts over again at 1. I've checked through the bluetooth settings on the phone and don't see any check box specifically for A2DP or something similar. I've also checked this against other radios with the same capability, and on another radio it won't display any artist information, or even the words UNKNOWN. The time never stops ticking either, even when I change tracks. It just goes on and on forever.
Any help is appreciated.
now that i've played with it a little more, it seems to be a Pandora only related issue .... anyone else experience this?
Spotify as well .... seems to be any kind of streaming service. I have files on my phone that play through bluetooth and all of the information displays properly on screen.
Am I really the only one?
With Android, song metadata won't be sent over a Bluetooth A2DP connection unless someone has modified both the Android OS and whatever music app you want to use to both support AVRCP 1.3 (since stock Android still does not support AVRCP 1.3). The HTC One does support AVRCP 1.3, as HTC has modified the Bluetooth stack on the phone to support it. HTC also added support for AVRCP 1.3 in their HTC Music app on the One, so music you play with that particular app has the capability to stream song metadata to a Bluetooth device that supports that function.
The Spotify Android app does not currently have support for AVRCP 1.3, so it will not send the song metadata to a BT device. (And I'm betting that feature won't come anytime soon because the devs for Spotify seem to be pretty pathetic, IMO).
I'm not currently aware of what other Android music apps have built-in support for AVRCP 1.3, sorry. But it's not a majorly-supported feature, so I can say there won't be many of them. :crying:
I just installed CyanogenMod 10.1.2 Stable (via SafeStrap 3.11), everything went perfect. A couple days later, I finally went to re-sync my phone to my PriusV's Entune system to play music via Google Play Music (with playlists stored locally on the phone).
Music plays back OK, however my issue is that no song details (Track title, artist name, disc name, playback position) will display on the Entune screen, and none of the car's control buttons (play/pause/next track/prev track) will do anything. I don't want to have to pull out my phone to change tracks or see what song just came on while i'm driving when this is what the details and controls on the car are supposed to do for me.
Anyone out there have any thoughts/ideas/suggestions/possible fixes?

I have a Highlander without Entune (Stock Stereo), so it's not a direct comparison but here's what I found. Music details don't display on the stereo. I've tried countless apps/hacks but nothing has worked. They spent all their dev $$ on getting it to work on the iPhone and left Android users in the dust. So I'm not sure music details have ever worked with Android.
The steering wheel controls however work fine for me, so that's strange. In the bluetooth settings on the phone, when connected to the stereo, is 'media' connected? It should be.
I wonder if an updated bluetooth controller for android would fix this issue for everyone?
I suppose I should clarify a bit - when i mentioned this being after installing CyanogenMod 10.1, I was assuming that one would take it things were working under stock, which was the case.
So: Stock - bluetooth playback showing track/artist/disc information, position in the song, and car controls worked (though stock had an older version of Google Play Music, so this could also be a source of conflict)
CyanogenMod: bluetooth only plays music, does not display any of the other information, and controls do not work. (Cyanogen 10.1 comes pre-built with the newer version of play music, so downgrading would be.... difficult and i'd rather try and make it work without doing so)
I guess what I want to try and find out is if it is CyanogenMod or Google Play Music's new version that is next to incompatible with Entune. With Stock, I had near 100% functionality (only shuffle/repeat toggles did not work - but even those don't work right with my wife's iPod, so i'm not worried about those functions).
Since i'm essentially dual-booted through SafeStrap, I may try going back on Stock, updating Play Music, and testing - if updating Play Music causes Stock to loose functionality equally, then i guess i'll have my answer - obviously i'll post back with results.
If functionality is still present on Stock after updating play store, then that traces it back to being something with Cyanogen, and the bluetooth driver it uses.
OK - sorry for the back to back posts, but I got lucky on some digging and found my answer.
CyanogenMod does not have something called AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile) revision 1.3+ built into it's bluetooth stack. This is because that is not something that is included by default under AOSP 4.2.x. So unless you want to build your own bluetooth stack and put it into Cyanogen, you're not going to get track info/controls.
Google has announced that under AOSP 4.3, they will be building Bluetooth version 4 support into Android, and version 4 supports AVRCP 1.3+ natively, thus Cyanogenmod's next version based off of AOSP 4.3 will then contain AVRCP support.
So, the short of it is, hang in there for the next major release of Cyanogen and all will be resolved!
Most manufacturers build AVRCP support into the bluetooth stack for their devices, hence why stock worked and now CyanogenMod does not.
Huh good to know. I knew that Android 4.3 included an upgrade to BT, but I didn't realize it would fix this issue. I wouldn't even know how to build my own BT stack, but it would be useful in the long run.
+1 on this
I have a Nexus 4 with CM 10.1.2 connected to my Skoda Octavia built-in bluetooth. I play music with Apollo (Cyanogenmod's music player) and I get to hear the songs and can skip to the next/previous songs with steering wheel controls but don't get to see the song title/artist info.
My Nexus One with CM 7 however does play music fine and shows all song details and steering wheel controls work fine.
So based on 1.) the fact that my 3.5 year old Nexus One (with CM 7 - Android 2.3.7) shows song details fine and 2.) the excellence of the CyanogenMod team, I think this can be resolved with some coding rather then waiting for Android 4.3 or CM 10.2 with an updated bluetooth stack.
Unfortunately I can't say if this issue only started appearing after the 2 security updates (10.1.1 and 10.1.2) since CM 10.1.2 was the 1st ROM I flashed on my Nexus 4. Although in this post goo.gl/KQ6J7H some guy who encounters the same issue, also experienced the issue on CM 10.1 (so before the security updates 10.1.1 & 10.1.2).
Apart from the song details not showing, I also noticed that sometimes I can't enable bluetooth at all and need to reboot my phone for it to work again. When tabbing the bluetooth icon in powercontrol widget or even directly in Settings it simply won't enable bluetooth. Also experienced by the guy from post goo.gl/KQ6J7H
I'm hoping to see this annoying bluetooth issue resolved asap.
