Problems with Bluetooth Dongle

Hi I have a problem with a Bluetooth dongle. I come from Germany and have an IPhone. 6
now I wanted to connect a Bluetooth dongle to my Iphone as I transfer a dive computer to my iPhone Bluetooth does not recognize.
When I connect this dongle I get the following message:
FT230X Basic UART: The connected device is not supported.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem.
thank you

iPhone 6, iOS 9.2.1

you can't


the only purpose usb devices can be used is for iPads to import usb stick photos into the ipad

no other usb devices works


and bluetooth is a fireless means of communication it is build into the iPhone and can't be replaces by an external bluetooth dongle


and last but not least you can't transfer files over bluetooth on an ios device unless some third party app using the PAN bluetooth profile is used in both ends you can read more about supported bluetooth profiles here

and more about bluetooth profiles in general here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Bluetooth_profiles
