Recently the CyanogenMod Nightly builds have implemented AVRCP 1.3. This allows for the currently playing song/tracks id3 tags or metadata to be displayed on my car media center. This only works when I use the stock CyanogenMod music player. I would like to know if it is possible for me to use the Google Music player and still be able to stream the track info to my cars bluetooth. I've tried, and it doesn't work. I've found comments from other users saying they have found success but I seem to be having trouble. How do I go about getting this to work?

Any music player should play via whatever the current audio output method is, which would be via bluetooth A2DP if it's connected. Pretty much the only application that will supply the track data however is the stock CM7 player or the bog-standard AOSP-based Android music player. Neither Google music or virtually any other application supports it as until recently the "standard" BlueZ stack didn't support AVRCP v1.3.
Later beta versions of Google Music may support the feature, but the older ones certainly didn't seem to.

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knew the best music player out there that supported the AVRCP profile. It seems like the stock music player doesn't support it. My Pioneer radio has buttons that should allow me to control the music from my phone from those buttons, but it doesn't work. I remember that it worked with RockOn, but it has been REALLY slow lately.
Any other recommendations?
Thanks.
Hey all,
Just wondering, does anyone know what version of AVRCP is on the I9000?
Cheers,
Kenny
There are different versions? I think 1.4 is the only one thats built in any bluetooth stack.
The bluetooth version however is 3.0 on the SGS.
AVRCP has several versions with significantly increasing functionality:
1.0—Basic remote control commands (play/pause/stop, etc.)
1.3—all of 1.0 plus metadata and media-player state support
The status of the music source (playing, stopped, etc.)
Metadata information on the track itself (artist, track name, etc.).
1.4—all of 1.0, 1.3, plus media browsing capabilities for multiple media players
Browsing and manipulation of multiple players
Browsing of media metadata per media player, including a "Now Playing" list
Basic search capabilities
all i know is that i can control everything remotely from my phone to my car receiver and vice versa, i can also control from the car receiver my phone full features
browse, next, skip, back, stop, play, pause, answer call, resume, volume up/down, mute,... not sure if i'm forgetting something
Audio quality is AMAZING!!!!!! the base!! the sub!!! you can hear it all!!!
unlike the WM phones the BT doesn't transmit the full spectrum and always leaves out the Sub base frecuencies
Can someone please tell me what changes in respect of the stock music player and Bluetooth occured from the S4 to the Note 3? Issues I have, music doesnt shuffle anymore consistently meaning I have to keep going into the stock music player and enabling shuffle, then no more messages appear on my cars head unit either.

use any app for music player or Bluetooth
I'm running a Sprint Nexus 6 with a home build of CM 12.1 (base CM 12.1 with some minor cherry picks, but currently none involving Bluetooth). I drive a Honda Fit LX (base model without the touchscreen and integrated Pandora). When I stream audio to my car via Bluetooth on any audio app other than Pandora, the song's metadata (title, artist, album) is displayed. Pandora refuses to display the data. The other apps that I've tried that work are Amazon Music, Music, Play Music, Spotify, and even my podcast app Pocket Casts. All of these show proper metadata. Other AVRCP functions do work within Pandora, such as play, pause, and skip. I have even go so far as to use Pandora Patcher to force AVRCP functionality. I haven't used it for any of its illicit functions (I'm a Pandora One sub), so please don't discuss those here or provide links for Pandora Patcher, as they're against forum rules.
I plan to revert to stock temporarily to see if it's an issue with the Pandora app or CM's Bluetooth implementation. I was wondering if anyone else was seeing this issue, whether they we also using CM or another ROM, and most importantly if anyone would happen to have a fix.
I have MP3s on my phone and I use the MediaMonkey app to play them through Android Auto.
However, I am not keen on MediaMonkey for several reasons so I am looking to change.
Which Android Auto-compatible MP3 player do you use?
Musicolet
Pi music player
Auri music ( new and from a developer on Reddit)
Cloud player
Pulsar
Rainwave
Jet audio
And you can also use any auto audio ( developed here on XDA) use With any music app
Huge fan of Poweramp
Second choice Mediamonkey because you can browse the tracks very good in AA
PlayerPro
I like stock music apps best. I have an old 5.0 Android Samsung tablet which does well with Android Auto. The latest Android Auto now has old cast built in, and corrects screen formating with Samsung Music. Samsung Music now has better controls with full browsing features. I assume the same with Sony Music... Which we all know can be flashed with full features to any device, using magisk or as a twrp installer. Be sure to update the Plugins to make it full featured.
Apple Music. Love that I can stream tracks from Apple, I can upload my own MP3s to iTunes and have them on my app and I can play my Playlist. This is a combination no other music app gives. Works great with AA as well.
MP3 for AA
I like MediaMonkey and Poweramp.
Pulsar also has good reviews and seems good but the other 2 are my favorite.
