.... hold on... one more question out of curiosity. If it's that simple to connect to BT devices with XCSoar (Android) - why did you have to implement the K6BT checkbox in the device menu? Wouldn't you be able to connect to K6BT just as easy as to any other BT device? Thx.

It will show the BT device instead and you can just connect to it once you've paired it with your Android device. I have noname BT adapter here too that I bought three years ago before I even had the Streak and I was surprised how easy it was to get it connected to XCSoar.
