It's a little known fact that the Cr-48 has Bluetooth on board. In fact, it seems Chrome OS on the Cr-48 already supports Bluetooth, all that seems to be missing is the graphical interface to setup your Bluetooth devices. Assuming you've rooted your Cr-48 though, you can start playing with Bluetooth now:

1. Get root.
2. Open up a crosh shell with CTRL+ALT+T.
3. Open up a bash shell by running "shell"
4. Become root with by running: "sudo su -"
5. Put your Bluetooth device into discovery mode (see device manual if you don't know how to do this)
6. To have the Cr-48 scan for Bluetooth devices, run "hcitool scan". This should list any discoverable devices in your area. Make a note of the devices address, we'll use it in the next command.
7. To connect to a device, run "hcitool cc nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn" replacing the n's with the device address from above.
8. To specify a key, run "hcitool auth nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn" again replacing the n's with the device address.

Bluetooth on the CR-48

Seems like if all this functionality is possible, wouldn't make since to have someone write an app for all of this to happen?

I'm not a tech head myself, and yet I would like to have this capability.

Anyone out there that could write an app for this?

Not much on this thread. Tried it with a Motorola H500. after hcitool cc and the address, I get a response, can't create connection: input/output error. Any ideas? Also, dumb question - any problem leaving it in developer mode?

for some reason i cant get the cr48 to connect to my Nexus One. this is what happens when i try to connect

I get the same when trying to connect to my LG Versa as well. But its neat that it does seem to have functioning Bluetooth.

i agree hopefully something can be hacked together in the near future so streaming music could be possible, seeing as Google Music isnt in coming out anytime soon

I've tried this with my Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 and have been unsuccessful in pairing. "hcitool scan" can recognize the device, but when I try to pait with "hcitool cc nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn" nothing appears to happen. I hot enter after the command and I just get a new line and the blinking light for the mouse discovery remains blinking. Any thoughts on getting the mouse to connect? Just not supported at the moment?

This is exactly what is happening to me. Trying to connect to my canon 470 printer with bluetooth. I wish this would work. I will keep reading. Please if anyone has made any progress please post. Thanks.

Now on version 0.12 it would seem that hcitool is not there anymore. I wonder what its been moved to.
