    Default RR w/ BT

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Does it have to use the supplied BT Dongle? If/When a RR for the LLY comes to exist, I may look into getting one, and my notebook has BT built in.

    no. I have used the supplied one plus another one, TAQuickness also wrote "It's the bluesoleil, but not the one suplied with the RR." Here is a link to Craigs website regarding bluetooth setup http://www.moates.net/roadrunner/bluetooth.htm

    It should work with multiple Bluetooth stacks, including the XP SP2 stack
