Bluetooth Dongle (ISSCEDRBTA) Driver for Windows Vista

Purchased one of those cheap USB dongles like the one at http://www.ledshoppe.com/Product/com/CA3010.htm for only 5 dollars but found to use it you need to spend money on the software? Or if you have found a cracked version or actually bought it and found its useless and wanted to use the built in Bluetooth in Windows Vista? Well now you can!


USB Bluetooth Dongle:


(Note: Design can vary and may not look like above)

What I have done is modified the Bluetooth driver file that comes with Vista, to include this dongle by adding its hardware ID to the supported devices list.

To install, download either the 32-bit or 64-bit package (depending on your version of Vista – If you are unsure it will most likely be 32-bit) and extract all the files somewhere, like for example on your desktop in a folder called Bluetooth drivers. Then plug the stick in, Windows will fail to find the drivers and ask you to either provide a location for them, or provide a CD. Provide the location and give Windows the folder location of the extracted drivers. Windows will now install the drivers and your Dongle will be ready for use.
You should now be up and running with the Windows Bluetooth Interface, which you can find in Control Panel or in the System Tray.

You have now got a dirt cheap Bluetooth Adaptor to work fully without having to pay extra for any rubbish software.

Information:

Download is below for Windows Vista 32-bit and 64-bit.

Please:
If this Bluetooth Driver works for you and saved you having to spend money on the terrible Bluesoleil Bluetooth drivers, consider donationg a couple of dollars to Digiex. This server costs $40 a month which is being paid for by a student and money would go towards bandwidth costs. If this did help you please consider donating, its worth rewarding those who helped you for nothing.

Thank you

Using Vista x64 with sp1, the driver works just fine until the computer goes to sleep.

When it wakes up the driver "generic bluetooth adapter" gets a yellow exclamation mark and devices stop responding. The only way to fix it is completely uninstalling the drivers, restarting the computer and reinstalling.

Anyone had this problem? Suggestions?

I’m also using Vista X64 with SP1, however I have no problems with the when the computer resumes from sleep.

Maybe you can unplug the Bluetooth dongle before you put the computer to sleep, I’m not too sure what can be causing this.

Did you have the dongle installed before upgrading to SP1? I have tried to replicate your problem a few times but it’s still working fine for me.

Hi,

I just installed this driver for Vista 32 bits but I can get to turn on the bluetooth. I check the control panel Bluetoth Devices and in Device Status, it shows Window has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) . I don´t know what to do next.

I also tried to add my device (movil phone) having it with the Discovery mode but I think is useless if the device in the computer is not working. Please help me.

One more thing how I now what SP do I have?

InsaneNutter

Yes that’s correct, if the drivers are not working your mobile phone will not be able to find your computer.

To find out what service pack you have click the vista orb in the bottom left of the screen, then right click on computer and go to properties, If you have SP1 it will be shown like in this image:



If you don’t have SP1, un install the drivers, upgrade to SP1 and try the drivers again.

I get a code 43 error after numerous installs. I'm using Vista x64 with sp1. Is there any fix for this?
Also, Microsoft Bluetooth Emulator does not show up in the device manager. Please help!

Nimrod

Sounds to me like the dongle you have isnt the same as the one the driver was for

It looks the same but when I insert it into the system it tells me to find a driver for "ISSCEDBTA" not "ISSCEDRBTA" Is there any way that this driver can be made to work for it? I hate the stupid software that comes with it.

First of all: thanks!

Now...

I'm trying to make this piece of sh.t work with Win2008 x64...

Tried changing the bth.inf, line 102, "[GenericAdapter.NTamd64...1]" to "[GenericAdapter.NTamd64...3]" so it *should* be able to work in a server.

The first time I tried, it installed itself (after the warning) but with an exclamation sign.

Then I tried to remove it and reinstall, but now it doesn't seem to recognize the driver.

Any idea?

Thanks again!

Edit: by the way, some info working with the Bluetooth stack in Win2008 can be found in http://www.gilkirkpatrick.com/Blog/post/Installing-the-Microsoft-Bluetooth-Stack-on-Windows-Server-2008.aspx

I tried using it to connect to my bluetooth headset. It seems like there's no driver to support the audio component of the device.

Possible to add it in the future? Thanks
