Well even skyrc has that option - trouht bluetooth thou but still..
Premium brand like tekin would be obligated to have somethin like this, fot now i bought cheap netbook for this for 30eur, hopefully it will last until tekin comes app with solution for apple or next time this burns out I guess ease of remapping will be my main decission maker
or maybe I'll be able to do it with 6r on june, that will also fix me up

I'm on a Galaxy S6 running 6.0.1 and I can't connect anymore. My buddie's Note 5 connects with no problem so i know it isn't the Hotwire. I just keep an old tablet in my bag in case I need to use the hotwire at the track.

i have seen it addressed but not really answered anywhere. can anyone confirm if it does or does not work on the new kindle fire hd's? my 6" fire would be perfect for at the track. if not, what basic tablet or old phone would yall recommend using on the cheap? id like to change out some parameters on the fly on my new rx8 gen 2 setup....

It won't work on Kindle's . They have their own version of an "android Os" so to speak.
There are plenty of them listed here:

There are of course many more that it works on.

Ok, I'm at a loss. I can't get either of my rx8 gen2 esc's working with the hotwire android app version 6.11.0 and previous version using a hotwire 2.0 interface. Note: this works perfectly on a PC
These are the devices I've tried and the results:
Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro Running v5.1.1
Used both OTG and regular USB cable
The app starts then I get locked up black screen
Samsung galaxy tab 4
Used both OTG and regular USB cable
The app does not start after plugging cable into tablet. I connect a battery to the esc and turn it on. The interface powers on but has solid green LED instead of flashing
I get the same above results on a Droid Razr running v4.1.2

I know for fact that some of the Samsung tablets for example do not support OTG and for whatever reason it's by the size of the screen. Don't ask me why, but most of the time the largest tablets work, and some of the smaller ones do not. Odd I know.
My experience for example on Tab 3, the 7" works, the 8" does not, and the 11" did. Just an example.
The Droid phone lineup often doesn't offer power at the cable of the device so you may need to power on the car once you're plugged in. To test this plug in the Hotwire to the OTG and see if the HW's green LED lights up.

I think the device I have the best chance of working with this is my Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2'' When I plug a flash drive into the OTG cable it brings the drive and it's contents right up.
My Droid Razr is on Tekins list as a known working device. When I plug the hot wire into that I have to plug the LiPo into the ESC and switch it on for the interface to get power. When I do this, I don't get the fast flashing green LED, I just get a solid green LED and it does nothing on the Razr. I'm thinking I might have gotten a bad v2 interface...
I have 2 RX8's I've tried this on with the 250 firmware and the newer beta firmware.
