remote control that works over bluetooth?

Elbimster · #1 (**permalink**) 05-29-2007, 04:24 PM

Ok guys, I doubt such a product exists, but figured i'd ask anyway. Does anybody know of a product that will allow me to control windows Mobile on my ppc-6700 (really, any winmo phone) through bluetooth? It would be a very useful product to have when i'm using my phone as a music player in my car and it's hooked up to the cradle. Anybody able to help? it'd be much appreciated. Thanks.

EDIT: I'm sorry, I meant to say "Allow me to control Windows MEDIA PLAYER" not windows mobile. Damn dyslexia!!

Is the PPC 6700 getting that big now?

I remember when the 6700 was small and sexy and would be the "remote" and not the receiver.

If I am reading into what you are trying to do well enough, I would suggest spending the money on some bluetooth speakers and using your Apache as the remote.

They'll sound much better than the 6700's "speaker".

Well, maybe the new windows vista controller that may or may not be bluetooth will work somehow.

I'm sure you can buy just the remote somewhere.

I think I know what you are looking for. To do what you want to do, all you need is a bluetooth headset like the Motorola H-300 ($9.95 here http://cgi.ebay.com/MOTOROLA-H300-H-...QQcmdZViewItem), a recent ROM for the ppc6700 (I use Mario's latest unified), and voice command. Using the bluetooth headset, you will not only be able make phone calls but also use voice commands to control and play media on your device over bluetooth! Mondo cool!
