Hi all,
I can not seem to find out if Tomtom (wired) will work with the XDA2. I currently run Tomtom on an Ipaq 3950 and wish to upgrade to an XDA2 but cannot find a cable to do this. Expansys sell an XDA cable http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=TT_NAVCABXDA
but cannot find out if it will work with the XDA2. They seem unsure of this.
Can anyone PLEASE confirm if Tomtom will work with this cable, and if not how I will be able to connect. Would love to know as I can't wait to buy a XDA2.
Cheers
I emailed tomtom and they informed me that the cable for XDA and XDAA II are the same as I was in the same situation upgrading from Ipaq, so I ordered the cable from TomTom direct and received it in 4 days and it works a treat with no problems what so ever
Thanks for your help lankydwarf. Your a star.
Thats greatly appreciated.

Yo,
Anyone got a new exec yet, and got tomtom 5 with a tomtom wired GPS receiver plugged into it? If so can you describe what you did, so i can prepare my gear for when it lands! Looks like I might need a USB to MINI USB lead to be compatable with my Arkon car cradle...............
Cheers all,
Bryson
Search the forum, loads of posts on this.
I haven't seen any posts on this. Plenty on BLUETOOTH tomtom but not WIRED.
As far as I know there isn't any type of adaptor like that on the market - unless anyone knows different? So its Bluetooth only.
Sorry, my bad, I miss-read the post. Thought it was BT.
Yeah, I trawled the forums, didnt see anything re a wired GPS receiver, so hoping someone can advise how i can connect my tomtom wired GPS into the exec.............dont want to have to buy a new BT receiver as well!
just got my exec today ,which I must admit was quick comming only ordered it yesterday ive got gps for my xda 2 but wont fit my exec
It wouldn't be as simple as a Serial to Mini USB adaptor because the serial bit would need to be a specific Xda serial fitting. I can't see the economical sense in them being developed.
Best bet is to flog your wired receiver on ebay and buy a b/t receiver. I'm using a co-pilot b/t receiver and the phone connecter that comes with it is mini usb. Charges the Exec and b/t receiver at the same time.
I Don't work
doesn't look good ....................
sh1t, really! why? let me guess, after 3 succesful incarnations of the xda..........HTC decided that it would be to easy co let the comm port style continue, and usb land awaits........
Hi
I have the orange Spv m5000 version of the HTC Uni.
I cannot get TOMTOM to recognise that my dongle is there I have selected it to use the dongle as a serial port but im still having no joy.
Bearing in mind im very new to this can anyone offer a numbskull explanation as to how I may fix this problem.

Hi all, Thanks for reading. I have been using my Jam for years until it flew out of my pocket into an on coming car! I bought the upgrade. Fantastic peice of kit by far exceeds the jam by such along way. BUT having problems with the TomTom and GPSlim 236. I am not able to connect them! I never had a problem before, anyone else had similar problems?
Please Help?
Mine works fine with my jamin.
The only time I had a problem was when I connected the slim to the PC and switched to SIRF mode, I forgot to switch back to NMEA and that caused problems.
Try linking it to your PC and using the SIRF tool factory reset it.
Hi,
it works for me too.
I paired it with my JAMin, and in Bluetooth settings now I have HOLUX GPSlim236 in "Devices" tab, and "HOLUX GPSlim236 (COM6)" in "COM Ports tab.
Check if you added the outcoming port, and then use GPSviewer on the same port, 38400 baud.
Bye
TomTom and BT GPS
Try removing the pairing and then re-creating the pairing, but this time ensure the name of the device ends in "GPS"....

Hi there.
I have a different GPS to you, a BT74R, but I had the same problem.
I followed exactly the instructions supplied with my unit, the instructions downloaded from TomTom and instructions from other forums but I could never connect.
Then I stumbled on this http://www.bbits.co.uk/blog/archive/2006/02/28/7210.aspx
I followed the instructions and my GPS has been working perfectly ever since, as we have the same phone I guess it will for you to.
Try it and let us know if it works.

Recently I had to claim on my O2 insurance to replace my XDA IIi which I was more than happy with. It was running TTN 5 through a TomTom diamond shaped wired receiver and I had the phone going through the Pioneer DEH 70BT raido.
So guess what... O2 will not support or replace for an XDA IIi that went up the swanny and would only offer a XDA Mini S or some other poxy phone. So I take the XDA Mini S set it up with all the brilliant guidance from the threads that I had read. I then obviously have to change the cradle at my cost as O2 wont cover it.
So here is the problem, I have heard that the only GPS reciever you can use on a Mini S in a cradle is a Bluetooth one but as I use the Bluetooth connect to my phone I cannot use both TTN 5,21 and the pioneer at the same time.
So the help that I need if anyone out there has an answer it.......... Does anyone know of a cradle that has serial GPS support for the Mini S in a cradle so that I can still use the bluetooth on the Pioneer or am I stuffed. I have looked at loads of cradle selling sites but they are not very helpful and I am sure one of you top chappies can point me in the right direction. I did purchase a Mini S cradle only to find out that the cradle RJ11 port was to charge bluetooth GPS recievers which is no good for me..... Insurance who needs it huh.
Yours hopefully,, no desperately

Hi All, just got the carcom cradle for my tytn, its the one thats just a charger rather than full hands free. I also got the carcomm ENAV-400 gps reciever thats plugs into the cradle. So far i cant get tomtom 6 to talk to the gps on any of the com ports! Anyone shed any lights on this? No Idea what port its meant to be on, am i missing something?
Cheers!
Well, for anyone having this problem in the future, here is the reply i got from Carcomm about this.
Dear James,
Thank you for your interest in our products.
The TyTN and a lot of new phone models unfortunately do not work with a wired GPS receiver,
they can only work with a Bluetooth GPS receiver.
I hope this answered your questions.
Best regards,

So, dont buy a carcomm wired GPS, even though you can plug it into a carcomm cradle coz it wont work. Ive now got to return mine and get a bluetooth one :/
Mine works fine.
Only over Bluetooth though,
AFAIK it definitely wont work as a wired device using the Carcomm kit
We support these at work and have installed 10-20 devices installed and all work fine.
