Default Trying to enable USB Bluetooth dongle on a chinese tablet

I've just bought myself a 7" chinese tablet (
Amazon Amazon
) which does all I want it too apart from allowing me to use a bluetooth usb module.

I know that they dont have bluetooth as standard but stupidly thought that by just plugging on a usb module that it would work from the off, this isnt the case and it doesnt even recognise the module. The USB port works as I can read my USB sticks.

I've tired 'Blueinput' from the Android Market place but when installed it just quits out and tells me bluetooth is unavailable.

Any ideas of how I can get this setup to work?

I have a simular model.
I was trying to run "Tablet Remote" app, so I can use my phone to control my tablet when plugged into the TV by HDMI. I had to get the APK separate, as the app wasn't available for my tablet. However, when I used that app, it took me into a Bluetooth setting screen, that looked very much the same as the standard tablet settings. So maybe its a hidden setting.

I'd imagine the tablet will still need drivers of some sort to run Bluetooth USB sticks.
