Two questions / ideas about Bluetooth (Might be useful)

Dear Community,

I have two questions / ideas regarding the Bluetooth functions of the N900.

1. Idea how the N900 would start BT automatically once I leave my house:

My idea would be a small script / (cronjob?) which is starting the BT function once the WLAN connection is disconnected (out of range). That way the N900 would connect automatically to my handsfree car kit and I wouldn't have to enable it each time by hand. Anyone got an idea how to create such a script?

2. Is there a possibility to connect automatically to BT devices?

I have the problem that my N900 is connecting not always automatically to my handsfree car kit, I have to connect it by hand then which can be quite annoying while I drive. Is there any possibility to "force" aways a automatic connect once it is seeing my handsfree car kit in range?

My handsfree car kit is a Kenwood BT60 which is evening reading the phone contacts of the N900. Also "BT Audio" is working without any problems.

1. /etc/network/if-post-down.d/10_enable_bt:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

if [ "$ICD_CONNECTION_ID" == "GUID_OF_CONNECTION" ]; then

   phone-control --bton

fi

exit 0

/etc/network/if-up.d/10_disable_bt:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

if [ "$ICD_CONNECTION_ID" == "GUID_OF_CONNECTION" ]; then

   phone-control --btoff

fi

exit 0

GUID you can see in output of

Code:

gconftool-2 -R /system/osso/connectivity/IAP
