How to pair a bluetooth headset to FrSky X20

[Eli]

How do I pair a pair of bluetooth earbuds to my X20? My current FW is 1.5.9 and the only place I've been able to find any reference to Bluetooth is the in the telemetry menu and there is no option for paring. The manual for the X20 has been zero help. Can someone outline the steps for pairing Bluetooth earbuds to the X20.

Do you have the X20 or X20S? As I recall bluetooth audio is not on the X20.

I have the X20 and in the Telemetry menu there is a bluetooth on off switch. Mode Normal or High Speed and a Local Address of 907BC6B36A41 so I assumed that it had Bluetooth. So do I need to purchase a Bluetooth module for it then?

Or should I ask if there is even an add on Bluetooth module for the X20?

According to the latest manual audio via bluetooth is supported by X20S/pro only. There is a wired audio socket if you want audio to your ears.

The bluetooth on the X20 is for telemetry data only. It does not support audio.

(I don't think the telemetry data output has ever been put to good use by anyone. It was a good idea, but not really needed.)

Thanks for the help Wayne. It looks like there is an X20S in my future.

regarding Bluetooth telemetry - what device / app can view the BT data? Looks like the frsky app is pretty weak
