RNS510 bluetooth control
« on: April 12, 2018, 07:11:17 pm »
Hi all,

I currently have an RNS510 version P with a M version bluetooth module, all works well i.e phone calls and streaming but no track names/artists.
I have read other posts about this issue and it is probably down to the RNS being "old"?

If I install a PolarBT will this give me control over the iPhone via the wheel/RNS with the required track details?
I know the PolarBT will give me access on the red dot display of phone book and measures etc but would like full control over the phone if possible without he expense of a newer RNS!

cheers guys for any info..

It depends on the module. If its iphone you need almost new module to get this function working.
