Does anyone know if you can use the GRT Android App with the Sport EX? I can't seem to find any info on the web site that says it can be used with the Sport EX? Has anyone tried it?

Thanks
 
GRT Sport EX w Bluetooth Android App

The installation manual (Section 2-5) for the Sport EX specifies that the Bluetooth interface to the Android App is one of several options that can be purchased either on initial buy or at a later date and can be incorporated without removing the unit from the instrument panel. You might want to send an email to GRT tech support just to confirm but it appears this functionality is available.
 
Remember the Sport EX has only one USB port. The Bluetooth dongle plugs into a USB port. Unfortunately, so does the memory stick one wants to use to allow continuous data recording.

The net result is that one needs to add a powered USB hub in order to "split" or "share" that single USB port between the two USB devices, memory stick and Bluetooth dongle.

GRT sells a powered USB hub, one that they know will work. It's not terribly expensive. If you're a data networking kind of person you will no doubt find a cheaper alternative as powered USB hubs are a common item.
