Signalex Bluetooth Driver Download (Poundland)

FILE DOWNLOAD IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST.

I recently purchased a Signalex USB Bluetooth dongle from Poundland for - you guessed it - just £1. Windows automatically picks up the dongle and installs basic drivers which only allow for discovering devices, pairing, and sending/receiving files.

I had purchased the dongle because my new sofa has a built-in media bay and Bluetooth speakers. Since I have a media center PC, I wanted to be able to remote control that PC and output the sound direct to the sofa speakers via Bluetooth. The built-in drivers did not allow for this as I required the A2DP Bluetooth profile.

After three hours of searching the most obscure places on the internet, and trawling through numerous forums where I could only find incompatible drivers or dead links, I struck gold. My HTPC now plays sound through to my sofa, and I can play/pause/rewind and volume control the PC from the buttons on my armrest. Sweet!

I always like to post my finds so that people can get easier access, so I have created an entire driver bundle for the Signalex devices, combining all the files and information I obtained from the internet, to enable all the features.

Bundle includes:

• Filter driver, if your dongle was not automatically detected
• A2DP Profile (Advanced Audio Distribution)
• AVRCP Profile (Audio/Video Remote Control)
• DUN Profile (Dial-up Networking)
• FTP Profile (File Transfer)
• HID Profile (Human Interface Device)
• HSP Profile (Headset)
• LAN Profile (LAN/Networking Access)
• OBEX Profile (Object Exchange / Legacy File Transfer)
• PAN Profile (Personal Area Network)

... which is pretty much everything you would want to do with one of these cheap devices. Note that they aren't the fastest thing in the world - file transfer is painfully slow for example - but what do you expect from such a cheap device? This isn't Bluetooth 4.0 :)

Includes 32 and 64 bit drivers compatible with Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, and Windows 8.

Please feel free to share and mirror this file. It would be great if you could link to this page rather than the file direct as the link could change at any time :)

UPDATE 29/.09/2015:
The latest version of Google Chrome is suggesting that this file is "not commonly downloaded" and therefore may be dangerous. These are just warnings and are not virus detections, you can still download the file by choosing "allow" instead of "discard". There is nothing to worry about.

I have included the SHA256 hash under the link above and also ran both the URL and the contents of the file through VirusTotal to prove that the download is safe and genuine.
