    Is it possible for Techstream to connect via a bluetooth dongle?
    Connection is fine with the software on android and the PC is paired to the dongle but Techstream won't connect via bluetooth.
    It works fine with the mini vci cable but it would be nice to have it whilst working in the back of the car.

    Do you have windows drivers for the bluetooth dongle? Pairing isn't the same as having drivers installed- without drivers Techstream can't use the dongle and you won't be able to select it on the VIM menu.

    the bluetooth dongle is paired with the windows tablet - no probs but the techstream won't connect to the tablet.
    I can't find any windows drivers for the dongle unfortunately.
