Looks like CR48 has Bluetooth support built in, only the graphical interface is missing. That means, if you have rooted the device, you can use bluetoot from command prompt.
Command prompt you ask ? yes, for now, at least. We should see the normal interface soon and things will be easier at that moment. Until then, we can use the following steps
- Get root.
- Open up a crosh shell with CTRL+ALT+T.
- Open up a bash shell by running “shell“
- Become root with by running: “sudo su -“
- Put your Bluetooth device into discovery mode (see device manual if you don’t know how to do this)
- 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.
- To connect to a device, run “hcitool cc nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn” replacing the n’s with the device address from above.
- To specify a key, run “hcitool auth nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn” again replacing the n’s with the device address.
I do not have a CR48 yet so I haven’t tested this yet. I know that many of you here have the device. Please test this and confirm 
Are we getting only the device code name or can we use the normal names we give to devices ?
I have a Cr-48 and this doesn’t work. I can find the url address of the phone that I am trying to scan to, but it won’t connect to it from Chrome side.
I get the error message: “Can’t create connection: Input/Output error”
I clicked on make my device discoverable. Not sure what else to do. Please inform me of what you think.
Woops. I typed everything in with periods instead of colons. This still didn’t work even once I typed it right. I now get: “Not Connected”
So there is still a problem with connecting. Just not the problem that I stated above.
I’m not sure how to get past the Shell command…I’m at a crash> prompt
did you try typing shell ?
Looks like this was removed in the recent builds for whatever reason…
