I have a Kinivo BTD-400 Bluetooth USB adapter attached to my Win 7-64 PC.  I believe

that the Fitbit Zip dongle is Bluetooth also.  Will there be a conflict between these two

Bluetooth devices,  or will they both function independently (and properly) with both

installed. I ask because the Kinivo installation guide directs us to uninstall any Bluetooth

drivers currently installed on the PC prior to installing the BTD-400's Win 7 Bluetooth driver.    
Many thanks,
Ken

I presume that the Fitbit dongle and the Kinivo dongle cannot operate at the same time. However, I don't think that you need to uninstall the driver for the Fitbit dongle, unless the Kinivo dongle has the same device ID as the Fitbit dongle, which would be fishy and weird.

will not present any issues since Fitbit's dongle is Fitbit-devices exclusive, it won't event be able to took for different bluetooth devices, just for Fitbit trackers
