This bluetooth dongle list is not exhaustive. Please add any working dongle to this page; don't forget to mention: the chip manufacturer and version, the price and the store.
Using GIMX+bluetooth requires a bluetooth dongle or module that can have its bdaddr (bluetooth device address) modified.
Following bluetooth chips can have their bdaddrs permanently modified:
- CSR8510
- CSR bluecore4-rom
- CSR bluecore2-ext
Some Broadcom chips can work, their bdaddrs can be temporarily modified.
You should prefer CSR bluecore4 and CSR8510 chips over any other chips (some CSR bluecore2/3 chips and some Broadcom chips do not work reliably).
Note for PS4 users: you should look for a bluetooth dongle based on the newer CSR8510 chip, which is the first bluetooth 4.0 chip from CSR.
Warning: most of the CSR dongles from ebay/dealextreme don't work because they are counterfeits!
The chip version can be displayed using the hcirevision command that is provided in the GIMX install package.
Open a terminal and type:
$ hciconfig hci0 Chip version: CSR8510
If it does not display anything your dongle is very likely not a good one.
