+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

+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!

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.

Hi Tim Great that we can now send com frequency from the radio page in Skydemon. Would it also be possible to add functionality to be able to key a frequency in and send it to the radio. Say an additional selection within the radio menu which brings up a keypad similar to below?
