I just bought a new JVC receiver for my car. I want to use my Nexus 4 to play back music via Bluetooth Audio. When I use my iPhone 4 or Lumia 920, Bluetooth audio work fine and show media information, but my Nexus does not. (Actually, my Lumia locks up horribly, but that's another forum discussion)
I don't know how to explain, so I posted this video. On the screen, you see the track/artist info via BT streaming. When I use my Nexus 4 - no info at all, just the playback buttons.
Currently using Xylon with Franco kernel. Would this matter?

EDIT: Turns out that the AVRCP Bluetooth protocol is either unsupported or broken. *sigh*

anyone know?
Sorry for the old bump, but I've googled this and can't find an answer. This is the only thread that shows up, so i figured it was better to bump than start a new one.
Few months have passed now since the launch of the Nexus 7, so can anyone answer this question yet?
Also, as I understand it, aptX is effectively a codec, presumably integrated into the bluetooth drivers. Thus, even if not supported already, is it an option in the future with a bit of hacking?
Cheers

As is Nexus 7 doesn't support apt-x. I would love to see it in future updates or be able to at least get it some other way.
Using it with Creative WP-350 Headset at the moment, stock bluetooth provides nice sound quality so I can only imagine
how good would it be with apt-x running.
There's two problems I cant figure a fix for - noticeable delay in sound - in gaming very annoying, so that's one
cause I managed to get Mx Player play movies OK, no delay - while using H/W decoder (not the "+" one)
But the second thing is and its probably connected to the delay issue - when using the tablet - no music in the background - I can hear the headphones switching, when the sound is comming and going. Lets say I select any of the apps, or select touch one of the options, when I`m
about to hear the standard selection action sound, I'll hear the headphones switch on,I can hear static. play the sound and switch off again - no static.
All this with less than a second delay witch probably is the reason for even noticing the damn thing
Getting the Apt-X support and fixing the sound playback delay would be vital for my personal Full enjoyment of the Nexus.
well... maybe I'm forgetting to moan about partial existence of Play Store and Google Wallet in Europe (Ireland in my case)
thereof lack of 25 USD bonus with the purchase, and no access to the Free Transformers film
but that's for different thread
I'm in Europe too (Italy) but is possible to get the 25$ play store bonus using a vpn while registering your device,i red a guide somewhere here in xda to do this and it worked perfectly
Anyway I'd love to have apt-x codec support for nexus 7 and the audio delay through bluetotooth fix.. I hope somebody will figure out how to do this.

New Nexus 7.2 with APT-X?
Does the new Nexus 7.2 support APT-X. codex.
APT-X is bluetooth that send music in CD qualify wireless.
All new high - end smartphones like HTC ONE and Samsung G3 and G4 have it, and together with a APT-X dongle (like QUE uPlay puck) connected to a amplifier or bluetooth speaker with built-in APT-X (like Klipch or Loeve2go) The sound is really great to listen to!
Nexus 7.2 is a low - budget tablet and there is no clue in tecnical spec. about APT-X . Does it support APT-X?

I tryed to hack this but with no luck i found how to modify bluez lib to be able to work with libbt-aptx but i do not have lib compiled for nexus 7. APT-X is a purly software decoder for audio and if your bt head set suport it then it is possible if some one can povide lib for nexus 7. And of cause this will be ileagal because CSR has contracts only with HTC and SAMSUNG
Nexus 7 apt-x transmission
Will hooking the nexus to an apt-x transmitter (eg: creative usb BT-D1) via an OTG cable help?
I am looking to install my Nexus 7 in the dash of my truck to replace my Entune system. However, I have run into a problem that I can't figure out.
Here's the scenario. I'm on my phone and want to switch to the installed Nexus for audio being pushed into the truck stereo system via bluetooth (still on the call going thru the phone itself). The 3GN7 would end up being nothing more than a headset but I can't find a way to get it to work.
I installed the MoDaCo Rom recently to test the tethering ability... still no dice. I've tried this on both an S3 and iPhone 4S.

Am I understanding correctly that you want your phone to connect by Bluetooth to the car for calls but not audio, and your Nexus 7 to the car for audio? So your system would auto switch between them depending on which you need?
I know you can disable the audio side of the phone's Bluetooth profile so it doesn't conflict with the tablet trying to connect for the same, but on my Galaxy Nexus that setting had trouble sticking between uses.

My Nexus 7 would be docked and that dock would be wired directly into the car stereo. The phone would connect to the tablet via bluetooth, it's audio would pass through to the stereo.
Ah. I don't think Android has implemented any sort of Bluetooth audio receiver functionality.
Also keep in mind the N7 has no audio input via the headphone jack. So even if it could function as a BT audio receiver for the phone, it would have no way to receive hardwired audio input to pass back to the phone (aside from its built in mic).

Not that I could find either. I wonder if there is a hardware hack I can perform downstream of the dock and before the audio amp that would act as an audio controller of sorts. Basically allow hardwired audio thru unless it finds a bluetooth signal sending audio (phone call); and reverts once complete (call ending).
To my knowledge all cars with Entune have their own Bluetooth receiver capabilities for calls and audio... is this not sufficient for your needs?

Removing Entune itself is what I'm after. When you look at annual cost of the service, usability of the system, etc... this is a high priced bluetooth receiver with junk built all around it. Replacing Entune with a Nexus 7 would be a much better solution... as long as I can get this one issue resolved.

I don't think you will find the N7 to be a satisfactory replacement, then. You'd be much better off finding a solution that lets you still use the Bluetooth receiver that's built into the car.
I have a JVC headunit in my car & my truck. I have the N7 send audio via bluetooth & my GNex connects to it as a phone only (Set it in the bluetooth settings to do phone only). I use Tablet Talk to allow me to answer the call via the N7's screen instead of hunting for my phone. Bluetooth audio works for me since i am listening to podcasts at 1.4x speed, so audio quality has been good enough.
Besides, if you're listening to MP3s, the audio for Bluetooth might still be good enough.
I recently purshased the N7 ASUS dock, and I have it set up connecting to some speakers in my lounge. My question is: can I connect to my N7 through bluetooth and stream music through it to the speakers? I have friends over frequently, and I'd like for them to be able to play music if they would like. I know I could buy a bluetooth receiver, but it seems like this is something that could be accomplished.
Perhaps you should try it right now and see. But I doubt it'll work.

What would you be streaming from? Using something like bubble upnp you can stream music, movies, photos from one device to another. Don't even need Bluetooth. Just need both devices on the same network

I was hoping to use it as an A2DP pass through from my phone or my friends' phones. All the research I have done shows its possible, just incredibly difficult.
Hi,
I am a happy switchover to Nexus 4 from my iPhone, only thing I am starting to miss are some integration bits with my car audio system.
I am currently connecting the phone via bluetooth and it is working well, I can stream music and use built-in car dialler, however, I do not see what is currently playing on the car dash.
When I had the same setup using iPhone, I could see the currently playing song information. I can still skip to the next song using car's steering wheel buttons but I only see "Bluetooth audio" on the display.
I am using the default Google Play app to play music - have also tried with dogcatcher but no avail. On the iPhone various app worked - Music, Podcasts..
Second issue I have - is it possible to "force" phone calls to background when connected to bluetooth headset? I would quite prefer the satnav to stay on instead of seeing the current caller's information - as I already see that on my dash.
Thanks!

The first problem is caused by you and other people buying iPhone. You have contributed to pushing 3rd party manufacturers into supporting proprietary apple formats and communication protocols.
There is a perfectly fine Bluetooth protocol for track display, but your car stereo doesn't suport that, only the proprietary Apple one.
Hopefully you are now aware of the evil lock-in tactics that Apple have been engaging in, and next time you will check the product specifications to see see if your purchase is going to lock you in in any way.
Volkswagen and their bluetooth devices work fine with Android. It's Android that lacks a proper protocol to push that info to the radio. I know this because I worked with VW for months on troubleshooting the issue. Eventually, I obtained a stock galaxy S3 and it displays info just fine. With a custom 4.2.1/4.2.2 rom, it does not, just displays "BT-Audio".
CM is adding in bt tag support, but it currently doesn't work with play music, but is noted to work with pandora.
OP - your second issue is not possible. The radio automatically flips to the most recent info it has to display to you. You can manually toggle it back IIRC, as I can on mine.
I have the same issue:

We need to get AVRPC in our devices then it would work.
I drive an A5 SB with no go : ( to bad
yea the bluetooth works on my ford focus, but doesnt show the info of what track is playing.
Hello!
Real quick question and haven't seen anything recent about it. Do Bluetooth headphones work with the nexus player yet?
Thanks for any info. About to set up an audio/video situation and this would be perfect for me!
Just paired my Jaybird X2's with it and they work.
They work after the Marshmallow OTA.
I have tried BT heaphones with Nexus Player and it doesn't work as well as the Fire TV. I get a lot of stuttering with the Nexus Player. Not sure if it's casue if the BT is better in Fire TV.
I have some that work and some that don't. Right now I have a Bluetooth receiver that I can connect to my wired headphones so I can watch movies at night without bothering the family.
is it possible to do it with a app that is running on the phone. For example ios or android phone. because these devices have the bluetooth feature
