Bluetooth Speakerphone

In order to pair a bluetooth speaker/headset you must find one that supports HFP Hands Free Profile only. Other bluetooth profile variations like JL-HFP, or HSP.HFP are not supported at the moment.

To pair a bluetooth speakerphone you can use the apx-bt tool or the management tool User Interface.
