AVRCP 1.4 multiple media players - Bluetooth

  • I have an AVRCP application where the controller (CT) is a car audio system and an iPhone is the target (TG).
  • The iPhone has multiple media players installed: Music(native), Podcasts (native), youTube, Spotify, Pandora.
  • In reading the AVRCP specification and section 2.2.4 of the Bluetooth Accessory Design Guidelines for Apple Products document it seems like it should it be possible to get a list of these players using AVRCP.
  • When I issue a GetFolderItems MediaPlayerList (PDU 0x71) command from the controller the iPhone only responds with one player. It responds with whichever player was active last.


Is getting a list of available media players possible using AVRCP or another bluetooth profile?

Is the functionality I am seeking available through iAP/MFi?
