I am trying to use my nexus one as a gps device for my ipad. So there is this cydia download called btstack it uses bluetooth to connect to a secondary device and uses the gps from the secondary device. It's not working.
Has anyone been able to figure this out?

So far the Netgear PTV3000-100NAS Push2TV is the only adapter device with Miracast built in. However, from what I've read nobody has been able to get it to work with the N4. There is suppose to be a firmware update for it coming soon.
I've thought about getting the Rii i8+ Wireless 2.4G Mini Keyboard to use with the Nexus Player, my Raspberry Pi, and other android devices. Does anyone know if it works with the Nexus Player? I know that it's Bluetooth, and I suspect that the keyboard works fine, but I wonder if the trackpad works at all. I've tried pairing my old Sony NSZ-GS8 Google TV remote and the trackpad doesn't work at all nor do some of the more convenient buttons on the non-keyboard side.

I have the same question - its amazing to me that this device doesn't natively support all Android compatible devices.... Seems like that should be rather straightforward. There should be some sort of simple certification process for accessories to be Android 5.0 compatible....
If someone could check and let us know if it works I'd appreciate it.:good:
Yes. I have one and it works perfectly. It is not BT it uses a receiver dongle which you must plug in via USB OTG.
Work fine with M8S android tv box

Touch pad & keyboard works flawlessly. It uses a small dongle (like some wireless mouse), not bluetooth. One annoying thing about it is, turns off/go to standby mode after within a minute of inactivity. It is a nuisance for me, but it does save a loot of battery life. And battery life is really really good for this remote. After purchasing, I charged it only once in 4 months (I don't use is everyday though). Backlight is really good & useful too!
I would use is it as default remote for my Nexus Player, but that auto sleep mode is irritating to me. When it is in sleep mode, it takes about 3-4 seconds to get ready for action. Otherwise, its a very good remote.
I'm computer stupid but I bought this keyboard and can't for the life of me figure out how to use it with my nexus player. Can you explain it for dummies??
All you need to do is buy a USB-OTG micro USB adapter, then plug in the receiver you got into the Nexus Player with it, it is plug and play. Just switch it on.
I've just bought the Bluetooth version and the trackpad is appalling, not even useable. Do you think I would be better off with Wi-Fi version or something different? Very disappointed after the good reviews!

I was just about to buy one of these (to use with my Nexus 6).
What's the problem with the trackpad? And did you find a better keyboard to replace it with?
I bought it to use with the Nexus player I have just bought. The track pad hardly responded and was basically not useable. From looking at other peoples reviews on Amazon, this seems to be the way it is. To me it should not be sold if it doesn't work. I bought a otg cable and paired the Nexus player with the Logitech k400 plus wireless keyboard. This is so much better and the track pad works perfectly.

I have a N9 tablet mounted in my car running gmaps, torque pro, etc. Would really like it to mirror my 6p display if possible. Would the best way be to use a vnc client and use the 6p as a Hotspot? Any other routes or suggestions welcomed. I'd use a chromecast going into the hdmi on my pioneer radio but I'd like touchscreen functionality
I have a kindle fire 7 running os 5.6.2. I want to run a GPS dongle. I use an Iphone , so I cant tether.
What am I able to do? I have loaded Google Play. Thanks
You could possibly and most likely use a GPS app that allows for bluetooth GPS devices.
