I have a Pioneer Z110BT nav unit in my car which supports AVRCP 1.3 to allow track and artist text to be pushed while streaming audio over bluetooth. However I think the EVO only uses version 1.0, so I'm only able to use the pause, play, stop, ff, and rewind features on the nav unit. I saw somewhere that eclair added some support for version 1.3. Is there any chance of someone getting AVRCP 1.3 working on the EVO?

Hello all,
I have bought a car stereo that has AVRCP Profile 1.3 and i thought i would be able to use the unit to control the phone.
Is that correct?
BUT, i can only do this using USB, using BT i can only use A2DP functionality (forward, back).
is there something more i need to know or should it work whereby i will go and try again ??
i connect via bluetooth with my car stereo and ff and rew buttons on the steering wheel stalk work perfectly... i've got a sony car stereo...
Hi.
I can do that, but can only ff, pause etc as you.can, but with avrcp profile.1.3 you should be able to see track nametime and other info.
i thought the Desire had 1.3 as my stereo has.
hmmmm.
O.k. this is my first thread on XDA, gotta say...love this site! Heres my request.

AVRCP only works sometimes
Alright I'm bringing the thread back from the dead because I'm having bluetooth problems myself. The problem is my AVRCP (the bluetooth function that allows external control of songs) only works sometimes with my bluetooth car stereo (Sony Xplod MEX-BT2900 and my Sony Xplod MEX-BT2800). I get into my car with the bluetooth radio on my stereo and my phone, the phone will connect completely (media and phone), but I will not be able to control music playback function from my cd player or steerling wheel control. Then I will do a complete soft reset and the AVRCP will work flawlessly (i have complete control of playback without touching the phone). My question is why does this do this? Why does it only want to work sometimes and not others? You can see my setup below. I do have Pandora installed but I went into settings and selected Bluetooth for Automotive (OFF). I'm using music installed to my SD card through the stock htc sense 1.0 music app. I have not tried google music or anything like that. I do have tune-in radio and iheartradio installed. It has done this for a bunch of different Rom's and kernels including stock. Is the stock sense bluetooth profile garbage or what?
I don't believe its your phone I have the same issue with a Droid x 2 and the bt2900. Mine will also leave a paused message on the head unit with music playing. I believe its a Sony issue.
I have a brand new evo hardware version 4 softare 3.70. Before i rooted i could use my car stereo to pause or skip tracks in Pandora and other apps. Since I rooted I can no longer use the car stereo to control those apps. I have tired multiple roms but have found none that work. Not sure if it is a kernel problem or what. Would appreciate any help.
What caused issue: newest cyanogen mod update
After updating from CM 7.1.0-RC1 to CM 7.1.0 my Bluetooth stereo in my 2011 toyota camry (when connected) only plays the mp3 (Music) player on my EVO. If the mp3 player is paused, no audio will come through from anything on my phone. All other applications, be it handsfree phone features, streaming apps, Pandora, youtube, google maps don’t come through the stereo. If the audio player is being played, other apps’ audio can come through.
Now I know the Cyanogen team messed with the Bluetooth stereo because my car stereo now displays the mp3 track names and it never did before the update. I would gladly forgo that feature to return Bluetooth audio normalcy to the rest of the phone. Even stranger, on my dad’s 2010 Lexus es, which has an older version of Bluetooth stereo, EVERYTHING works just fine! This makes me think that this is an issue related to newer bt stereo models.
It could be a while before the Prime comes to Sprint, also could be a while until CM gets ICS working on Evo supersonic.
Please help.
I am experiencing the same problems exactly as you described with my 2010 Toyota Camry. I have only been able to get the "stock" ROM with the "stock" kernel to give me full functionality. Even with the stock rom, if I upgrade just the kernel, I get the same problem. Did you ever find a solution? I have been researching on the various forums and the internet and have not found a solution yet.
Does anyone know why bluetooth functionality changes so much from build to build? I update CM10.1 about every week or couple of days and the only thing I notice change is how well bluetooth works.
I have a JVC KD-R730BT headunit in my car that has bluetooth audio and Pandora support. Some builds breaks bluetooth, sometimes I lose bluetooth Pandora functionality, once I even got music information to show up on my deck using google music, sometimes it all works fine.
I guess I'm wondering if there is a reason why bluetooth is so fragile.
