I've been fiddling with getting a bluetooth transmitter to connect the TV in our ACE 30.1 to the speakers above the couch (now recliners). I'm about ready to rip the Axxera AV615BHM that came with the coach out and kick it down the street.

I've tried two different bluetooth 4.1 transmitters that use a headphone cable to connect the TV headphone output to the transmitter. I can get them to connect to the Axxera quite reliability, but actually getting sound out is another matter. I've been able to connect my iPhone 7 to it very reliability and can get audio from the iPhone to play through the Axxera speakers. But the bluetooth transmitters appear to be total failures.

The sound will sometimes connect, but it looks really random and seems to have about a 5% success rate. And when it does succeed the unit says its connected to my iPhone. Its behaving like it doesn't know how to talk with the bluetooth transmitter once its paired.

Has anyone managed to get a bluetooth transmitter to reliability connect? What bluetooth spec?

I'm starting to wonder if the latest bluetooth specs are too much for the Axxera - of course their manuals state nothing about what bluetooth specs they use. Its starting to look like the only reliable method will be to get a long headphone cable and plug it directly into the audio jack on the Axxera. I know that works. Eventually the Axxera will find its way to the trash can.
