AGL Bluetooth Integration
Project notes and validation guides for adding phone-to-IVI Bluetooth support back into Automotive Grade Linux through BlueZ, PipeWire, GStreamer, native integration, and Flutter.
The project goal is to rebuild core Bluetooth user flows for modern AGL: phone pairing, media playback, profile state, and stretch phone features through a reusable service or library abstraction.
Project Goal
- Develop a new settings UI for phone pairing
- Add A2DP and AVRCP support to the media player
- Build a Flutter FFI C++ library for BlueZ stack profiles
- Stretch: build HFP telephone, PBAP phone book, or MAP messaging UI
Scope
From phone connection to IVI features#
Each profile guide maps a Linux Bluetooth capability to a user-visible IVI behavior, from media playback to calls, contacts, and messages.
AVRCP
Playback metadata and media controls such as play, pause, and next track.
HFP
Hands-free calling, call state, and call audio routing for the IVI.
PBAP
Phone book access for contact lists and caller identity.
MAP
Message access for future notification and messaging flows.
Architecture Overview
Read the BlueZ, PipeWire, WirePlumber, D-Bus, and Flutter architecture direction.
BlueZ Verification
Run profile-oriented smoke tests for the target Linux Bluetooth stack.
