Bluetooth Keyboard/Smartphone keypad

Panther22 · Oct 10th, 2015, 13:08

Im finding the voice search for the sat nav input very slow. Also the manual input by the cars keypad a bit cumbersome. For normal family use its fine but im having to input new sat nav data every 15- 30 minutes or so for work.

I was wondering if its possible to connect either a USB or bluetooth keyboard to use for data input. Or to use the keyboard build into my Galaxy Tab or G5 phone (would pref the tab as the keys are bigger). I have my phone and tab bluetoothed to my carvalready but not sure how I would go about doing any of the above if its even possible.

*Update

I bought a logiteck K480 Bluetooth keyboard. I can pair it up to all my devices, Galaxy Tab4, Galaxy G5 phone, Smart TV but cant get the car to find it when I try to bluetooth them together.

Need to talk to Volo Tech I guess to see if its possible or to ask if I can use my Tab/Phones keypad to do what I need.

I have managed to connect my car to our homes wireless internet connection and send individual Sat nav locations via Here.com using Volvos built in Send to car app. But this is not the perfect solution for me.
