+x+x+x+xThanks to Tim there is now an Android beta with support of the Becker AR6201 protocol.
Here is my solution to connect a BLE device to the Becker AR6201 radio:
Bill of material:
DSD TECH HM-10 Bluetooth 4.0 BLE iBeacon UART Modul mit 4 PIN Base Board für Arduino UNO R3 Mega 2560 Nano
RS422 MAX490 Mutual Transfer Full-duplex TTL Bi-directional Signal Module DC 5V
AMS1117 DC-DC Step Down Voltage Converter 6V - 12V to 5V
Minifuse 125 mA
My BLE to AR620x housing Please contact me for STL-files, if needed.
The schematic of the circuit is attached.
Please note this is only for 12 V bus voltage, and ONLY for experimental use!!!
Cheers! I have the next AR620x adapter ready. It looks like this is becoming a business model for some people... But you can make the adapter yourself as described above. If you don't know much about electronics, soldering and 3D printing, I'll do it for you. No large quantities, just one handmade piece at a time. The adapter fits directly onto the free connection of your Becker AR620x. All that is required is a power connection (+12 V, GND) - no further mechanical work. I guess 70-90 bugs is enough for one unit.
Please note: THIS IS 12 V EXPERIMEMTAL ONLY! ... but will work like a charme...
Cheers! Michael, this looks like a perfect solution! Great! You fixed the connector with the slider - could you please share the source for this slider?
Amphenol Conec 165X11299XE You will need the slider, the spring and 4 of 6 screws.

+x+xOur new 4.0.1 version allows the TX part of the Bluetooth configuration to be connected to both a radio (so frequencies can be sent) and autopilot (so course data can be sent). In future, my goal is to allow the same Bluetooth device to also act as a GPS/traffic receiver through the RX part, but that cannot currently be done, you need two Bluetooth devices in this case.
As Michael says, as soon as a device needs bidirectional communication - as the Becker radios do - this concept will not work. i got it working with android but not with iphone. is that what is fixed in the current beta is it possible to opt out of navaids in the radio tab.

+x+x+xNo, not until there is a device with widespread uptake in the community that we can actually develop with. We can't just "support Bluetooth" without a known device to develop and test with. Hello I have connected 1 bluetooth device to Funke radio and Dynon autopilot. It works great with Android but doesn't work with iPhone. With iphone you have to choose radio or Ap. Did we miss something or does it not work to control both with the iPhone. Is there anything that solves this? or should I mount 2 bluetooth units one yill radio and the other for AP
I'm not sure I understood you correctly, you only connected ONE bluetooth device to the Funke radio AND to the Dynon autopilot? How did you do that? Yes with Y cable. It works perfectly with Android, but with Iphone it only works to control one device

+xOr maybe more user and installation friendly is IRXON BT578 v3 or BT580, they work with Apple and Android well... Hi, I purchase that device from AliExpress. Unfortunately, it doesn‘t react to AT+MODE=BLE in order to switch the Bluetooth mode to Low Energy. The connection to my tester-app terminal works because I get OK in reply to a sole AT command. Any idea how to fix this problem? I need LE because the iPad will not connect to BT. Thanks and best regards, Wolfram

+xHave received my Irxon dongle but daunted by patching into the 25pin dsub connector on my Trig radio; not least by trying to get to it as everything is rather buried behind the panel.
Was wondering if it would be possible to wire the dongle into a dsub adapter which could then be used to connect to the radio ie Trig dsub connector into adapter which then connects to radio hardware box.
One like this wired correctly? https://www.amazon.co.uk/CY-Adapter-Parallel-Extension-Connector/dp/B0CWH7NQMY?th=1
It looks like all 25 pins are routed 1:1 "around the 90 degree corner". But I can't read that anywhere. It will probably work.
