Bluetooth USB device not recognized

When adding a Bluetooth dongle i got the message : “Found New Hardware: ISSCEDRBTA”

But when Windows XP is trying to install it, it can not find any drivers for it. Here is a way to make it recognized and install the bluetooth drivers for it:

  1. Go to Device Manager and find the “unknown” USB Device. It has a question mark icon.
  2. Double-click to raise the properties window and go to Details tab.
  3. Select the Device Instance Id and identify the VID and PID (vendor and product IDs). For me was VID_1131 and PID_1004
  4. Open the file %windir%/inf/bth.inf for editing.
  5. Add a new device using your own VID and PID within the section Cambridge.NT.5.1 as shown in the file extract below:
    [Cambridge.NT]
    Generic Bluetooth Radio=                                         BthUsb, USB\Vid_0a12&Pid_0001
    CSR Nanosira=                                                        BthUsb, USB\Vid_0a12&Pid_0003
    CSR Nanosira WHQL Reference Radio=                     BthUsb, USB\Vid_0a12&Pid_0004
    CSR Nanosira-Multimedia=                                       BthUsb, USB\Vid_0a12&Pid_0005
    CSR Nanosira-Multimedia WHQL Reference Radio=    BthUsb, USB\Vid_0a12&Pid_0006
    Cambridge Generic Radio=                                      BthUsb, USB\Vid_1131&Pid_1004
