I was able to connect the Android Automotive OS (AAOS) emulator to my Pixel 4a phone via Bluetooth using USB passthrough functionality in Android 12. However, when I played music from my phone, I could hear the sound in the emulator (on my host machine), but the metadata was not displayed.
As a trying purpose, I switched to Android version 12.1 and connected the AAOS emulator to my phone again. This time, in 12.1, the metadata started to appear in emulator, and I could hear the sound as well.
I have verified AVRCP profile version which is 1.5 default in both the Android(12 & 12.1) and also in my phone.
Bluetooth dongle which I am using is TPLink
Bluetooth passthrough reference
Any help would be appreciated.
