[K1kote]

Hello community, I have a PX5 unit with and I need to connect with a BLE device (Bluetooth Low Energy), is there any way to update the module or connect via USB a dongle to use a BT module that can do it?

I have had success with a Bluetooth dongle that is supported by the Linux kernel.

My head unit is Android 8.1 go. You may need to go into the settings and change the USB mode.

There is a special menu for factory settings. I will try to go through the process I went through and get back to you.

I can confirm my FYT type 116 (not MTCD) supports BT LE, successfully connects to my V1Gen2.

It's not an MTCD unit.

No, are menus are not the same.

No, are menus are not the same.

That's because you don't own an MTCD unit and are posting irrelevant information and are posting in the wrong forum
