Lionel VSR with MP3 files and plans for my new train

My honest concern-  you really need to have a tablet or phone with the 5.0 or higher Bluetooth chipset. This means you do have to use a more recent phone or tablet. Second, ideally, it might need to be an iPhone or iPad- because some Android based phones and tablets- the Android operating system or settings/ limitations may not allow this feature to work correctly.

We put quite a bit of work into getting this feature into our LC engines. What we found is that performance is very closely tied to the (edit-3rd party tablet or phone) device being used. Especially on the Android side.

Let me elaborate. We ran into an issue with many Samsung phones. The Bluetooth streaming for voice requires we (the APP) set a specific baud rate. On many Android phones (namely Samsung made in the last 3 years), the baud rate cannot be set by the APP. Rather it is artificially throttled by the smart device.

This applies to many other Android phones as well, especially tracphones and other more bargain priced phones. You also have to make sure the device you're using has Bluetooth 5.0; older phones and even some newer lower-priced devices still use Bluetooth 4.0, which is not meant for voice streaming.

We have found that iOS devices operate the feature very well, especially if they're from 2019 and newer. If you are experiencing an issue with the feature on an iOS device, I would recommend emailing me and we can get to the bottom of it.

I enjoy playing music through my TIU to an engine. For some reason it's very relaxing. A section of tracks needed cleaning in this video so the music is breaks up a bit in the begining.

I think I'd like a bit more fidelity.

Great post Cody!  I have not attempted to use this feature yet, may be over the Christmas holidays I may find some time to get up to speed on this.  Thanks Dave

THAT IS COOL and very relaxing

sounds like an old vaccuum tube radio a little bit
