xl bluetooth

[F Murtz]

Can you use bluetooth on the xl to hear spoken directions through bluetooth earpiece?

I just loaded my old ONE XL backup onto a USB thumb drive ran ran it in emulation mode and must report to you, that unfortunately you cannot. The XL can only use bluetooth for data services. And even if you did have audio support for bluetooth devices, you would only be able to pair it with a stereo piece that supports the A2DP bluetooth profile which a normal bluetooth headset does not support.

Hehehe nice one. Nah you're not too old. I'm a youngin, but I still have watched every single episode at least twice while growing up (Well I guess that's thanks to tons of re-runs and nick-at-night.)

It would have been nice if he had Murtz spelled "Mertz"

And what's the H stand for dhn!!?!?


Back on topic. I think the OP is mistaking the ONE models for the ONE XL models. It's the regular small screen ONE models that go by editions like 1st edition, 2nd edition (or LE edition) 3rd edition, etc. You just have a ONE XL. No editions on those.

Irrespective of the device model number though non of the One or XL products support voice over Bluetooth, the BT connection is ONLY for data as previously mentioned, I have seen some devices modified to fit a 2,5MM socket for audio out (a 3,5MM socket is too big to go in the available space) - fairly easy way to get a line out connection on these units, but kiss any warranty you might have out of the window if you try it - Mike
