Hello, I have a device specific question. I was wondering how/if it would be possible to change an aftermarket device's bluetooth name? For example, this bluetooth dongle. I need to be able to connect multiple bluetooth transmitters to either 1 receiver or an equal amount of receivers without the 'same' devices interfering with each other, and these dongles are the cheapest on the net. Does anyone have any experience in doing this? I'm assuming I'll need to get into it on my computer somehow to change the name.
If this seems impossible, are there any other options out there? I have looked at FM transmission but there is too much static on almost all the stations I try.
Thank you,
Adam
