Has anyone tested if the Gnex with ICS now supports AVRCP 1.3+ when connecting it via Bluetooth to their car stereo?
1.3/1.4 should support displaying Track info when playing music via Bluetooth. I have a 2010 Mazda which should support it, but I wanted to see if others had tried this?
If it does have support I would think Google Music would support it, but hopefully it extends system wide for things like Spotify?
It did not work in Gingerbread, but I had hoped to see it in ICS.
Here is a thread from earlier:

I believe Android is using the BlueZ Bluetooth stack which appears to support AVRCP 1.3:

My 2010 Mazda would be much better if the display didn't just say "BT" but rather the track title

same with my 11 explorer. it just says galaxy nexus where the title goes
My BMW with connecteddrive shows "No track info" , so i'm guessing it's not working
No. ICS has no AVRCP 1.3+ support. At least for now.
I read somewhere that there will be changes made to bluetooth with 4.0.3.
Maybe Google finally woke up and implemented the latest bluez.
Seems like we have to wait....
Would be awesome if it did. Loved my HP Veer because it did. Also tired of seeing just BT on my radio
I can add to all of this with a few personal experiences. Back and forward work, however, music info doesn't work on the following that I have tested:
BMW ConnectedDrive system (someone confirmed that above)
Ford Sync system
Acura system
Let's hope that 4.0.3 incorporates this.
Has anyone tried one of the .3 custom roms to see if anything has changed?
Same issue on 2011 Nissan Maxima, track and artist info is blank.

Unfortunately I am quite confident that our 2010 Mazdas do not support avrcp 1.3, only 1.0.
Also it has far less to do with the OS than having to do with the bluetooth drivers/stack. My neighbor's droid x sends metadata to his 2011 mits. lancer, but when we tried it on my 2010 mazda3 we saw nothing but "bt audio". The 2011+ on the other hand supposedly do support avrcp 1.3.
While hearing that bluez has finally implemented avrcp support in their nearly ubiquitous bt stack, it unfortunately does not mean that we will be seeing meta data...
One interesting thing to note is that while the 2010s support avrcp 1.0 and the 2011s support avrcp 1.3/1.4 the bluetooth module is a slightly different part number, they are interchangeable (according to my dealer).
Unfortunately the Galaxy Nexus (with FW 4.0.1) has AVRCP 1.0 which means no ID3 tag info, no repeat/shuffle/scan, just basic controls (play/pause/skip).
Let's hope that with the new FW there will be some changes in the BT stack.
As far as I can see it doesn't have the Message Access Profile either. My S2 got my text messages to my sync system, no luck with the Nexus.
Any more word on this? Bought a nice new stereo for my car and would love to see some track information

T_T I have a 2011 Mazda 3 and my galaxy nexus also won't show any track info. I was excited to see that the gnex had bluetooth 3.0 but didn't realize it would only be AVRCP 1.0... My gf's sister has an HD7 and when it pairs with my car it shows all the info and it also has the reading your text message feature so when she receives a text the car will ask "read it or ignore"
Is there anyway to copy bluetooth files that have the AVRCP 1.3 from another phone to ours?

I've seen mention of CM supporting it, has anyone tried AVRCP with an unofficial CM build?

I had CM 7.1 installed on my Desire HD, and AVRCP worked. The screen on my Mazda showed track, album, and artist information information.
I want to use a tablet as my car head unit, iPads are able to use usb for a digital audio output, I can't post the video yet but there is one on youtube detailing what they use in a iPad car install
Could someone add the functionality to a GNexus CDMA kernel for me to try out in wiring up my stereo? Here is an ongoing discussion to get it enabled on all 4.0.X devices by google but again I can't post the link for the discussion or to vote on the google page.

USB audio works on my Allwinner A10 tablet witn "Unofficial CyanogenMod 9 for many AllWinner A10 tablets" firmware from Christian Troy
Hi all,
This is my first post / thread, let me start by saying thanks to all of you !
I am another happy owner of a nexus phone
Our official android 4.1 version does not support USB DACs, and perhaps we can all ask for support at code dot google
Many audiophiles and headfiers already own USB DACs. Think of them as ‘sound cards’ or ‘USB audio devices’ . DAC is actually an acronym for Digital to Analog Converter. And ‘usb audio’ is a standard as you can see in usb dot org
I can do some alpha / beta testing if any new image with usb audio support enabled comes up, just let me know. Or feel free to suggest any other way of enabling usb audio.
I am not talking about android-only docking stations but regular hifi DACs. There are even portable DACs to take with you on road !

Also to have this link to keep track of the issue: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24614
mengsuan , Thank you for providing a link to code dot google, I am a newbiew so I can’t post links yet.
S III seems to be the best choice right now for audiophiles on the road
To tell you the truth I expected all 4.1 phones to support usb audio out of the box. It was my fault, I should have read the articles referring to usb audio support better.
Hopefully the community will help and provide some custom image for Galaxy Nexus even before google does.
I've been searching and haven't found an answer yet, I am looking for a way to play movies from my phone to the TV. I know there are ways to stream shows from netflix and hulu but I want to play movies that are physically on my sd card. I can do it with TW roms with my hdmi cable but I want to use an AOSP kitkat rom and haven't found a way to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
There are quiet some apps like media house that will do it. VLC Player is another example. Some of the AOSP Roms have screen sharing baked in. So you could explore that as well.
Does screen sharing allow audio output? I forget exactly what I did but at one point I was able to mirror the screen but had no audio. I don't know anything about mediahouse, i'll look into that next. Thanks for the suggestions.
Have any of you tried something like this with an AOSP rom? It seems similar to what I already have so I'm wondering if it still needs touchwiz drivers to work?

Audio issues are typically due to incorrect Galaxy S2 adaptor or asian make copy is used. I will suggest to try samsung original as you linked.
I have not tried the device since my TV supports DLNA via an Android TV stick. See my signature.
Hi.
I want to playback sound from my Nexus 7 2013 (Flo) in a fixed install environment on a Mutli Channel USB Audio DAC. It is a 7.1 Channel device and has a CMedia CM6206 chip. I currently use the stock Android 5.1.1 build LMY47V.
From what I've read a multi channel source, e.g. a movie, should play fine, but the difficult part seems to be the spreading of stereo sound onto multiple channels. After reading through different articles related to ALSA I finally found an example configuration which does exactly what I need:
http://drona.csa.iisc.ernet.in/~uday/alsamch.shtml
Sadly it is for Linux Desktop Editions and Android seems to be quite different (Driver Layer, Configuration ...). After figuring that out I came across this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/mod-surround-sound-t2964809/post57310487
Where I finaly found the place the mixer configuration would probably go to. But now I'm stuck on translating the .acoundrc file into the right XML statements. This is where I want to ask the experts here on XDA Developers...
What I got so far:
- Device is rooted
- Alsa Mixer is installed
- Example .asoundrc
The USB DAC enumerats (with alsa_aplay -L) as "default:CARD=Device" or as (with alsa_aplay -l) "card 1".
Thanks and best regards,
Martin.
