Any Ipod Nano 7th Gen Experts Here?

My friend wants to scroll though images on an Ipad Nano using a phone as the controller. No audio. From what I hastily read, the 7th gen Nano has Bluetooth for sending audio, and has some BT connectivity with certain devices (input from a heart rate monitor, for instance).

“You can connect your iPod nano to compatible Bluetooth headsets and other accessories, including some hands-free systems in newer cars,” says Apple.

“You can also connect to a Nike+ sensor or a Bluetooth heart rate monitor. iPod nano supports A2DP for audio streaming and AVRCP for controlling playback on Bluetooth devices,” reads a support note on Apple.com.

Anyone here know if there's a simple way to do what my friend wants, or if it's possible? I'm not an Apple user, so I figured I'd ask the pros here.

    I suppose you would have to snoop and hack the handshaking protocol. It might be easiest if you have an Apple approved device signing on to the Nano while you snoop.

    Linux LIveCDs have a lot of BlackHat stuff for this kind of thing. You might start with looking over the listings at www.DistroWatch.com.

    I suspect that if you can get the handshaking right, you can clone a BT link fairly easily. But it is only going to allow the device to work in the same role as the original. Are you wanting to crack into a Superuser mode? Much harder to do, maybe impossible.
