The correct answer is simply to run emptool on the Central, surely? It's running Linux. It's got USB master. Better than that, just persuade rsync to run over USB, and run an rsync daemon on the car player. Then they'll be completely in sync. There are a couple of corner cases, but I dare say that it'll be easier and more reliable than making the car player pretend to be a Rio 600.
