Bluetooth Shortcut on Home Screen?

On my Nokia N97 I can easily add a shortcut to the Bluetooth settings on my home screen to toggle BT on/off. I cannot find how to do this with my iPhone 4.This would really make things easier for me especially as I have to manually connect with my Mazda RX-8 evey time I drive.

How can I do this?

iMac 24-inch, Mac OS X (10.6.4), iMac, iPhone 4, iPod nano

I have just installed the Bluetooth Enable Disable app by Niv Gutherz it works brilliantly just install the app go to settings of the app and turn the bluetooth shortcut On. You then toggle bluetooth on and off by just tapping the app icon on your home screen. The app costs 69p but it does exactly what you need it to do ie turns bluetooth on or off with just one tap - rather than 4 plus a scroll as Apple would have you do. Here's the link http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/bluetooth-enable-disable/id521459048?mt=8http://

Working APP - for $0.99 (AUD).


The app - Bluetooth Manager by TIMO works under the iOS 5.1.1


NOT FOR JailBroken phones.


For basic on off - this reduces the (Tap Screen Count) to 3 taps.


Open App - Turn on Bluetooth - Back to Home.


History: - Turning on requires > 7 TAPS - (Find Settings - Slide Down to General - open general .... exit settings).


If you have 1 x Bluetooth device used across 2 or 3 Apple devices (2 iphones and an IPAD) - e.g. (1 keyboard) - this will save a lot of frustration.


Please do not response with 'apple do not support' propagana.


There could be a better way to do this. But this appearst to be the best we have to work with.
