Totally missed this post.. woops! I do not believe the 2009 supports AVRCP. The 2010 MIGHT.
Just checked the G37 manual online, the 2010 does support AVRCP, it does not say which specification thoughl.
A little lost on your video files comment - I was referring to being able to play MP3's directly from CF, at first I didn't think it was possible based on what I had been reading, but I tried it and amazingly it worked. I haven't tried video but i am about 99.99% sure it doesn't support it over CF.
I find it strange to copy music files into a CF card. I would use just to play raw files from a camera, or perhaps video files, but what I'm now expecting is that it won't play pictures and video files as they come straight from the camera (RAW and HDV).
Not stupid at all. The main devices that i'd say they target with BT audio streaming is phones; although providers just recently started selling phones that even support A2DP. It would be, in my case, a convenient thing to have. My phone has a 16GB SD card so I can keep a decent amount of music on it. Being able to play it via the car's stereo would be nice, although the compression of the bluetooth audio does leave something to be desired.
Windows Media Player 9 and 10, and Winamp (via plugin) do support AVRCP. That means in theory you could use that mini computer I posted above and control it pressing the voice control on the steering wheel, or using the touch screen.
And you don't need to listen to it via bluetooth A2DP, you can use high quality stereo cables, you just control the device via AVRCP. AVRCP 1.4 would allow you to do simple search, and control multiple devices (an iPod, a computer, a phone), but I doubt Infiniti would implement that. From Wiki:
Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP)
This profile is designed to provide a standard interface to control TVs, Hi-fi equipment [and a computer, of course], etc. to allow a single remote control (or other device) to control all of the A/V equipment to which a user has access. It may be used in concert with A2DP or VDP.
It has the possibility for vendor-dependent extensions.
AVRCP has several versions with significantly increasing functionality:
* 1.0—Basic remote control commands (play/pause/stop, etc)
* 1.3—all of 1.0 plus metadata and media-player state support
o The status of the music source (playing, stopped, etc)
o Metadata information on the track itself (artist, track name, etc).
* 1.4—all of 1.0, 1.3, plus media browsing capabilities for multiple media players
o Browsing and manipulation of multiple players
o Browsing of media metadata per media player, including a "Now Playing" list
o Basic search capabilities
