for BluetoothInteresting, The wifi version was interesting since I use the bluetooth to play spotify and hook to the phone. Those 2 are quite a bit more $ but I guess they must be better on battery drain and speed huh? I was seriously considering getting the VAGCOM thing for $199 which is why I was looking at a cheaper dongle but now I am torn. Maybe this wifi dongle will let me read what I want like transmission temp etc. on my 2005 TDI it is shifting hard from 2nd straight to 4th so I need something to see what is going on.
music is A2DP protocol (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile)
phone calls are HFP protocol (hands free profile)
high data rates are SPP (Serial Port Profile, restricted use on iOS)
low data rate BLE (or spp)
agreed, plus they are extremely difficult to work/dev withstupid iOS...
dont think you can read the Transmission temps with VCDS or the dongle but i could be wrong. my 2015 is the 1st auto i have owned.
