RR w/ BT

[TAQuickness]

What can I say It's bad to the bone!

I didn't experience any issues using the BT on XP SP2. Took all of 15 minutes (yes I timed it) to install the RR hardware and get my self connected. I probably could have done it in 10 if I hadn't stopped for a beer.

Craig, Paul, Ross, Donna, and who ever else is behind the silver curtains

Is your bluetooth as fast as a direect USB connection?

[TAQuickness]

I haven't tried the USB yet. I'll give it a spin this weekend and let you know.

Was your bluetooth the bluesoleil supplied with the roadrunner by Craig or was it a different brand/type. As you can see from my RR bluetooth posts I had a fair bit of grief with my bluetooth.

[TAQuickness]

It's the bluesoleil, but no the one suplied with the RR.

About 4 months ago I picked up a BT dongle so I could connect my phone with my laptop. It came with the bluesoleil CD (looks to be the same software as supplied with the RR).

Otherwise, all I did was connect the BT hardware to the RR, then plug in the supplied dongle to my laptop, opened BS (), scaned for devices, RR showed up in about 10 seconds, then clicked the serial icon.

The really bad ass part is being able to sit in my living room while connected to the PCM

Have you been able to retrieve the tune out of the pcm via the bluetooth ?

i have had trouble retrieving tunes from RR. Often they are retrieved and I get a message "BadFileFormat", mail to efilive support. This happens if you do a fresh connect to RR and try to read, if you write a tune into RR then read it back out this does not happen.

Using bluetooth or USB , never been able to get a read when using bluetooth and if I use USB with the laptop on battery power it corrupts everytime leaving the car stranded.

just been having another play with RR bluetooth (still a pain to connect sometimes, but I think thats software issues) by accident I worked out that I need to turn on emulation before trying to do a read of RR. Seems to work sucessfully every time if I do this, if emulation is not on I get the "badBinFile" error message & the car will not start.

I'll send a message to Paul to get him to check the Bluetooth. I'm not sure if he uses one though.
