Customizing Bluetooth Name

How to Change the Bluetooth Broadcast Name?

Important Notes Before You Begin

1. This tool can only be used on a Windows PC running Windows 10 or later.
2. A Dropbox account is required to download the software files.
3. Keep the blafili B3 and your computer connected to a stable power supply throughout the process. Interrupting the power or USB connection may cause the device to stop working properly.
4. Please follow Steps 3 and 6 carefully. The QCC Tool files must be copied into the BlueSuite installation folder before QCC_Tool.exe is opened.

Step 1: Download the Required Files

Sign in to your Dropbox account and download the following three ZIP files:

BlueSuite.WIN.3.3 Installer_3.3.16.1687

Download BlueSuite.WIN.3.3 Installer_3.3.16.1687 (ZIP)

QCC_Tool_v2.3.1

Download QCC_Tool_v2.3.1 (ZIP)

qcc_usbdbg_v1.1

Download qcc_usbdbg_v1.1 (ZIP)

Extract all three ZIP files before continuing.

The executable files for the BlueSuite installer and USB debug driver can be opened directly from their extracted folders.

However, do not run QCC_Tool.exe directly from the extracted QCC_Tool_v2.3.1 folder. Its files must first be copied into the BlueSuite installation folder, as explained in Step 3.

Step 2: Install BlueSuite

Extract:

BlueSuite.WIN.3.3 Installer_3.3.16.1687.zip

Open the extracted folder and run:

InstallBlueSuiteCda_3_3_16_1687.exe

Complete the installation using the default settings.

Step 3: Copy the QCC Tool Files into the BlueSuite Installation Folder

Extract:

QCC_Tool_v2.3.1.zip

Open the extracted QCC_Tool_v2.3.1 folder, then select and copy all files and folders inside it.

Next, open the following BlueSuite installation folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\QTIL\BlueSuite 3.3.16

Paste all copied QCC Tool files directly into this folder.

Important: Do not copy only the QCC_Tool_v2.3.1 folder itself. Open the folder and copy all of its contents into the BlueSuite installation folder.

Important: You must open QCC_Tool.exe from the BlueSuite installation folder.

Do not open QCC_Tool.exe directly from the extracted QCC_Tool_v2.3.1 folder. The program may not work correctly unless all QCC Tool files have first been copied into the BlueSuite installation folder.

Online Bluetooth Name & Passcode Tool

A browser-based tool that renames a blafili receiver and sets its pairing passcode — no Windows utilities — is on the roadmap. Until it ships: note the name or 4-digit passcode you want when ordering and we ship the receiver pre-configured, or follow the tutorial on this page to change it yourself.

FAQ

What do I need before renaming the receiver?

A Windows 10 or later PC, a Dropbox account to download the three tool ZIP files, and the blafili B3 connected by USB with a stable power supply throughout.

Do I need to restart the receiver after setting the name?

No. After Set Name is written, search for the new Bluetooth broadcast name on your phone, tablet, or computer — the blafili B3 does not need a restart.

Can I order the receiver with a custom name pre-configured?

Yes — note the Bluetooth name you want when ordering and blafili ships the receiver with the name already set, no tools required.
