    That connectivity is not supported (except for tethering). What are you trying to do?

    Hi Barry,

     

    Thanks a lot for your reply.

     

    I am trying to connect a bluetooth dongle (will be connected with, say monitor) with iPhone. Trying to achieve sort of communication between both.

    I want to know basically whether BT dongle needs to be MFi certified in order to communicate with iPhone?

    My plan is to use SPP (Serial Port Profile) for this communication. Is this possible?

     

    I am kind of stuck with this, any help will be really appreciable. Thanks a lot again.
