I have not tried this yet, but do you know what buttons are used to steer with?
Do you have directional keys or a trackball on the device?

I have tried playing with a usb keyboard and none of the keys will steer the 
car. However several other keys will perform other actions such as 
acceleration, braking, and activating the boost mode which is like turbo or 
nitrous. When you say "device" are you talking about my tablet (which has no 
keys or trackball) or the Zeemote which has keys and a joystick?

If no keys can be used to steer, Bluez-IME will not work, because it can only 
send key presses. It is possible for the application to support this, but it 
requires that Polarbit actively add support for it, and Raging Thunder was 
created long before Bluez-IME. I doubt that they will go back and update the 
game with support for this. 

In short: it won't ever work, sorry.

By "Device" I meant the tablet. I was thinking that they may use analog data 
from a trackpad/mouse to allow steering, but it doesn't matter if they do not 
allow keys to steer.
