Bluetooth adapter

[Doc]

Trying to install a bluetooth adaptor so i can activate my dongle on the computer so i can install on the bike for apple car play but i am getting this message up.
Any ideas ?
thanks

well, the obvious question is...

...do you know the manufacturer of your bluetooth dongle?

If not, then let us know where you bought it and maybe post up a pic of it and we'll see if we can figure it out and point you to the right drivers

Hmm... reading up on Code 31 errors, it sounds like rebooting the computer might be worth a try. Quick, easy, free.

Worth trying first.

Try:

1. In the search type" Device manager" and open it.
2. Click on the small arrow next to either "Bluetooth" or "Universal Serial Bus controllers"
3. Right click on "CSR" and select Update Driver
4. Select" Browse my computer for driver update"
5. Select on bottom "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my Computer"
6. Select "Generic bluetooth Driver"

If that's BT v4 its a bit old...

 

[Doc]

No idea.

New computer then instead of bike stuff.
Or take the dongle to the computer shop for them to do it.

Is it on a laptop?

Honestly if your computer is that old then spending £2-300 on something now will probably be worth it for so many different reasons.

A lot of USB adapters give trouble. The one I mentioned is a card you put inside.
TP-Link

Don’t know why you have to use a computer . The dongle I bought just plugged straight in to USB port on bike ( for power supply ) and worked from the off .

I have to agree there pall.

@Doc, what are dicking about with a computer for?!
Plug the fecking thing into the USB port on your SOA (bike), let it power up by turning on the ignition. Once on,go on your phone into Bluetooth settings, and select the dongle from available Bluetooth devices nearby. Seeing as you live out in the sticks, there will only be one or two options, the other most probably sumfink else you wish you did not know about. Do the necessary connection stuff. The dongle may ask for a passcode. This by default most of the time being 0000 or 1234. Your bike should now be connected to your phone and Apple CarPlay should work.
