Sorry for the delay in getting an answer... but I've seen a lot of 'oddities' along the way so wanted to be sure before I gave a definitive answer.
In short the answer is yes and it works very well.
First between the two apps, Rocket Player seems to work much better in my view and is more configurable. Steering wheel controls work properly again.
However to get to that point, I had to do the following.
- Install the app Startup Manager. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...nager&hl=en-GB
- Install the app Ownice RK3188 https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...dunit&hl=en-GB
Enable all features.
- Using Startup Manager disable auto-start on all other media players including the built in Music and Music Player.
- Re-program the SWC, even if they are already set.... do it again.
I did not find a good car-ready app for navigation. Igo Primo is nice to use, but its navigation is rather hit and miss. Google Maps does a very good job with both traffic and navigation, but is not car-friendly (has small buttons etc). I may yet experiment with CoPilot and so on.
I've also been using Car Dashdroid.

This puts a very nice car-friendly interface to the whole unit with big button shortcuts to your main apps. I liked it so much I've even spent the £2 or so to remove the ads and unlock some features on the free version. Well worth checking out.
