you need any program to change the speed in bluetooth
I personally used this one
You will also need to install this program to change the speed in your bluetooth module
you need speed in bluetoothe what you connect to MRE speed (baud rate) 38400
after you set the correct speed in your bluetooth
you will need to connect 4 wires from bluetooth to MRE
1.5v
2.GND
3.TX
4.RX
on the picture we see places marked where to solder bluetooth Communication TX RX
pad 1. HOLD=PB11=UART3 RX
pad 9. PB10=UART3 TX
sometimes on chinese bluetooth modules output rx tx inverted (if something doesn’t work try swapping RX TX)

if you use windows10
you need to find your bluetooth in the settings panel and connect to it

if you are a lucky person and did everything right
when you go to the tuner studio to the section communication you will see there name your bluetooth module

How stable is the connection? Did you start/run a car while using BT?

We actually have BT initialization code in rusEFI itself

@abricosvw it says in the link they were done with r5.0 not r4.8
First question is what differences are there for soldering with my version
I don't see any change between R0.4.8 boards to R0.5 in this area (memory chip U11)
Second question what do I do with FT232RL Ftdi USB to Ttl Converter Series - USB
you need connect using jumper cable between bluetooth and TTL as in the picture below

I just went through this for my 0.4.8 MRE.
1. remove the u11 flash chip.
2. solder BT module to the gnd/3.3v/tx/rx as described in initial post (note, the annotated red tx/rx are describing the BT module pins, not the STM). i used the further inboard pad for PB10 so it has a smaller chance of touching the case.
3. connect to BT module and open serial terminal. set baud to 115200.
4. reboot ecu.
5. Go to the communication menu in TS. use the RS232 serial interface and select the proper com port and 115200 baud. Test the port.
Note: you dont have to change the aux serial pins in the controller/connection pane in TS, but i did have both of the baudrates there set to 115200.
I used an RN-41 serial module. With a class 2 module like the RN-42, you're going to get 3-12ft of range depending on obstacles.
EDIT: for some reason the second time i tried to connect it didnt work and i had to select bluetooth direct (step 5)
