First of all, you shouldn't direct your anger towards HTC, they are only licensing the steamVR technology, the real problem is with Valve.

Hi there i am new at setting up the 2 x base station 2.0 and a Vive Tracker ( 2018 ) and after following all the steps " null HMD driver " .... i have a few issues :
1 ) STEAM VR cant detect any of my base station 2.0 and Vive Tracker
2 ) I cant have access the base station via bluetooth ( No bluetooth driver installed it stated )
If you did the setup right it should work, so I'm going to ask the obvious here: did you pair the tracker to the dongle that came with it, is the dongle connected, is the tracker turned on, is the tracker in view of the base stations, are your base stations on different channels? If all of these are true you should see your tracker and your base stations in SteamVR. The base stations are only visible if you have a tracker in their line of sight.
The bluetooth connection can't be established without a headset even if you have the Vive Pro Link Box. I've tried it today and although the device and drivers work correctly and I can even connect to the base stations through as a windows bluetooth device SteamVR just refuses to manage them unless you have a HMD connected to the Link Box, which if you ask me is utter BS

I'm Facing the same problem right now same hardware and same Issues. I've seen that the stations need to be on seperate Channels to work properly but I dont know how to do that.
I also have seen that there is an Option to Force the Device to Use Bluetooth but same again i couldn't find the way to do that.
Is anyone out there who knows how to solve one of those problems ?
As for changing the channels there's a manual way to do it without bluetooth, sadly I can't find the setup anywhere, they removed it from the online documentation. But it was some combination of pressing the reset button on the back of it with a hairclip.

Hey there,

Hope this helps you guys get it set up quickly.
