So, before I go and get mutilated by this next final, I thought I would reveal a bit of what I learned about iPhone bluetooth pairing. It turns out that Apple was very generic in what they checked to classify a device as a headset or not. By using hciconfig and setting the class for your bluetooth dongle to 0×200400 you can successfully make your computer appear as a pairable device to your iPhone. It will even let you enter your PIN and the device will appear as paired on both devices when you are done. This is where I have left off for now. Should anyone make any further progress such as playing music from their iPhone through their computer speakers over bluetooth, please do share. Well, I’m off to my final. I’ll see you on the other side.
