Reinstall parallels access drivers#

My ipad was the 'hotspot' running Parallels Access with a Bluetooth to the Car Stereo. but like Flex you do not get the release notes until you update. they ask your permission before you update the car. Yes - Tesla has to be in park to do the update. It is pretty cool hearing the 6500 over the nice sound system in my car!

I have even remoted from my car, using the iPhone and the Bluetooth-enabled hands-free that is part of my stereo system in the 2013 Chevy Equinox. (It had given me fits for a while, then after trying several different things, it started working!) I can't be all that hot a computer geek if I don't even know exactly what I did! But it is working now. I can't remember all the machinations because it was several months ago when I finally got it working. Then finally, after it was working on the LAN, I tried it from a remote computer/iPad via WAN. After that, it should remember those devices the next time you connect with Parallels. I understand that this must be done while connected via Parallels.

While connected via Parallels, you need to go into the Record and Playback Audio Properties tabs in the Windows sound application (the little speaker icon in the corner) and make sure that you have set Parallels Access sound devices as the default sound drivers for Record and Playback.

Then I connected from another computer on the same LAN to make sure it worked. One thing I now remember doing, in addition to uninstalling/re-installing SSDR, was uninstalling/re-installing Parallels Access and updating to their latest stable version before trying to connect remotely.
