MTCE: steering wheel controls and "no stock" audio player - MTCD Android Head Units Q&A

Hi, i bought a PX5 (4gb ram, android 8.0) with this mcu: MTCE_KLD_V2.80_1.
I have a stock rom.
I want to change default audio player because the stock don't manage the subfolders.
I have canbus and with stock audio player i can move to the next or previous song with steering wheel controls.
But if i install another player form play store, the steering wheel controls does not work. The same problem is present with spotify. (it works only the volume controls)
I tried to install spotifykeyes apk but it seems not to receive the input from wheel. I think because it has been designed for Mtcd and I have Mtce.
What can i do? What can i try? Can you help me?
As an extreme solution, if i will switch to a custom rom like Malaysk, there are chances that it will work?

A2DP controls

Hi!
I'm using my Touch Pro in conjunction with an A2DP enabled car kit to stream MP3s to my car radio.
Unfortunately when I use the prev or next button on my carkit the (sucky) Touch Music player responds to them, instead of the (not so sucky) Pocket Player, which I prefer to play my MP3s with.
Does anyone have any suggestions on this?
Thanks!
Same here. The Pocket Player guys over at the Conduits forum are looking for a solution...
I have the same problem. You can not use the pause/play avrcp buttons to control the player. If you try to pause any player you will accidentally start up the wmp.
I guess we have to wait for a new rom or program that can reconfigure the avrcp controls

I have the same problem, too! Help needed! I'm using the funkwerk dabendorf ego look hands-free system. http://www.fwd-online.de/content_manager/page.php?ID=17780&dbc=40e5f956c20fc998358f90e2240b457d
yup even if u disable touch flo 3d then it just opens media player, pretty annoying
Hi,
I don't know how to change the defaultplayer but it is possible. I like my A2DP to use the Touch Player.
However I had to reset my device to the factory settings because A2DP didn't use the Touch Player anymore, but only used Windows Media Player.
Therefore my conclusion that it must be possible to make A2DP use another application.
When I was looking on how to change back the A2DP to Touch Media Player a lot of people on the forums suggested to make sure that the application that you want to use is the default player for MP3 files.
So what applications opens when you click on a MP3?
Regards,
AJ

is this true for all the Android head units? that the Steering wheel controls only work on the default music player, but not on apps like Google Play Music or Pandora?

yes, unless someone modifies the stock behavior somehow - which would likely need source code...
The only global functions, in my experience, are steering wheel volume, mute, and the one the toggles between all the stock apps (radio, music player, video in, ect).
If i had known that would not have bought the 5.1 version
Hi guys,
please see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...cd-spotifykeys-control-spotify-using-t3428930 and try SpotifyKeys.

Music player with folder skip buttons

Hello,
Is there any music player that has buttons for previous and next folder like on some car radios?
I had new Pioneer car radio and upgraded to android car radio and I really miss this feature.
I did a research and couldn`t find music player that has this buttons.
Thank you for help!

Question Music app with fast forward via car steering wheel controls? Pixel 7 Pro.

I've got 4 or 5 thousand songs stored on the phone, and I listen to this stored music. I've tried a number of apps on the phone but haven't found one that allows me to fast forward/rewind while using the steering wheel buttons in the car (also doesn't with with dashboard radio buttons). Maybe there's an option for this but I haven't found it yet.
So far I've tried YouTube music, Music Player-A+, GoneMad, & Musicolet.
On a related note, YouTube music is almost useless for me as it seems to buffer for a minute or two at every startup, and then another 30 to 60 seconds between every song.
Thoughts?
BlackPlayer Music Player - Apps on Google Play
BlackPlayer is a Minimalistic music player
play.google.com
Just tried BlackPlayer. It does not interface with my car's controls.
You can try my UsbMode.apk to see if your steering wheel controls come through.
OTOH, the MediaSessionManager redirects KeyEvents based on which app currently has a media session.
USB Audio Pro works on my cars.
