2 bluetooth devices with the same name?

[opentoideas]

i need to connect 2 bluetooth devices to my polaris, one to use as a phone handsfree and the other as stereo speakers.......

no problem there you say, but, they will both be identical devices with the same device names. and both capable of both headset and wireless speaker profiles.

does anyone see any problems with this?

i have connected many different bluetoth devices at the same time but never 2 of the same device.

given the way the simplest things can go wrong i was hoping that someone here might have already done this and could tell me if it worked ok or was a disaster!

thanks

I don't think this is a problem for the pairing. I once used an identical PDA for a couple of weeks. I restored a backup of the old PDA on it, so it had the same name. I hoped it would be paired to all my BT devices, but it wasn't. I had to pair them all again. So I think there is more identification than only the name.

thanks that sounds good.

does anyone use both headset and wireless speakers over bluetooth?

i am hoping that the phone will go to the headset and all other audio (TomTom, Mp3) would go to the speakers....... has anyone had this working ok?

also does ayone have 2 of the same bluetooth device that they can assign different profiles to?

i am concerned that although i set 1 as headset and the other as speakers as they are the same device they may swap roles depending on which connects first

i dont know if this is an issue but if anyone is able to test this for me it would be a huge help

lol ok strike that! just found out from the manufacturer that although the dongle has the wireless stereo profile its only wired for mono!

so can anyone recomend a good Bluetooth stereo reciever :)
