USB Support

Does the Ifly support USB devices other than storage devices?

In particular I am wanting to get a USB Bluetooth audio transmitter to plug into the iFly and use that to send audio to my audio panel without having to run wires? If not, how about a wishlist item??

Thanks,
Mike

Re: USB Support

This is on the WishList. It is a complex driver issue. USB devices like this are typically designed for Windows and Mac, thus they have those version drivers. The iFly GPS does not have the drivers many of these need.

There are Aux port Bluetooth transmitter devices that will accomplish what I think you are trying to do. Below is a link to one that is 2-n-1 Receiver and Trasmit.

Re: USB Support

Odd, here are a few options that might work as well. They basically plug into the Aux and then broadcast the sound via Bluetooth.

Re: USB Support

Thanks Shane. Yes that is what I am looking for although I think I will have to research it a bit more because I need to pair a transmitter and receiver that has no display capability. They will have to automatically like each other and pair with one another without user input.

I'm not sure this is very common. Normally you can connect to a bluetooth device and select it via a screen like on a phone or computer.

If I figure something out I'll post it up for others who may be interested.
