    XM Direct controlled from Windows Mobile Device via bluetooth

    Hi all, I'm a long time troll, but just recently joined these forums due to my renewed interest in controlling my XM Direct unit via alternative interfaces.

    I have started developing an application for controlling the XM direct unit over bluetooth from my windows mobile 6 phone (htc herald). Things are pretty straight forward, you use the same commands you would with a normal serial interface, you just have to be sure to have a bluetooth outgoing com port open. As of right now I am using my PC as a relay with a bluetooth dongle installed (the code for this is also located at the link below), though shortly I should have my rs232 -> BT adapter built for the XM direct. Not sure if anyone would be interested, but feel free to take a look at the dev source @ http://www.johnquinceyadams.com/.

    Sounds like a great idea. I would like to help code and test if you are looking for a partner.

    Also, might I suggest the A7 Bluetooth to RS232 module. Cheaper. Good support.

    Are there any homebrew solutions using the newer XM mini tuner as opposed to the serial cable + XM direct solution?

    Thanks for the responses, and I'm looking into that bluetooth dongle (thanks)...

    Anyone can feel free to work on this with me, I havent had a lot of time to dedicate to it this week (been working on a sql2005 migration at work)... I don't know about the mini xm tuner, probably work work... I'll look into that as well... feel free to email me with any suggestions/etc... I'll supply precompiled binaries as well on the site for those of you without vs2k5...
