Configuring Fortuna BT GPS Clip-On - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Hi all mate!
I've purchased few days ago this great gps receiver but now I have some problems pairing it with tomtom, destinator and Mobile navigator (one it's mine the other two are my friends'). :evil:
So I ask you to explain me the procedures and the settings to link this receiver to those navigators!
Thanks you all for your help!
Byez!

Just follow my forum, so I can explain in italian
I'm waiting your post...
TomTom 3 works great, but when Qtek receive a phone call, TomTom crash inesorably
:arrow: http://www.freeforumzone.com/viewForum.aspx?f=42746

@ QTeknology:
Done!
@all:
Any other suggestion?

I have an imate (XDAII) and use desinator in Australia with a clip-on BT GPS.
I have my Destinator settings set as
COM Port = COM5
Baud Rate = 38400
Protocal = NMEA
All I did was
1. Start BT as ON
- goto today screen
- press on the BT icon (bottom left)
- choose ON
2. Bond with the GPS
- goto "Bonded Devices" tab
- click "New..."
- search for device and select from list (mine says "ClipOn-BTGPS")
- enter PIN ("0000")
- it asks if you want to create a serial profile, say yes
3. Start Destinator
- if you are in navigation mode and have a Fix (middle light = green) then you should see your location on the map
- at this stage there should be a flashing blue light on the GPS and on your PDA
NOTE
- you only do the initial bonding once, normally just turn on BT on PDA, turn on GPS, then start Destinator
- I have had trouble attaching to GPS if I dont turn on BT before starting Destinator
- occasionally (about once a month or so) it seems to not work, so I just delete the bond, and re-establish it and it works again
- I am using the 1.72.00 WWE rom
- I am NOT using BT tools.
hope this helps

Thx a lot!
I'll try!
A little thing: I've bttools installed and when I bond the receiver I get only com7 as a choise!

Tom Tom 3 Bluetooth

Hi Guy's
I'm getting a "GPS Disabled" on the fron screen when TOmTom3 loads, any ideas.
THX
If you have no GPS hardware connected, it's normal .
The case is probably what the text says: GPS disbled.
Solution: run TomTom Wizard or TomTom GPS.
In TomTom GPS select correct port (probably COM5 OR Bluetooth GPS) and type (try NMEA ....Bluetooth)

What GPS do you have and have you configured TomTom to use it in the GPS Applet?
These are my settings on a QTEC 2020 (XDA2 clone) running Pocket PC 2003 Windows Mobile edition,
I have TomTom 3.03 Navigator and the TomTom bluetooth reciever.
The below presumes you have already Bonded the Bluetooth reciever, and your PDA mode is set to Discoverable before you start.
(See below for instructions if in doubt **)
Goto TomTom GPS (Start, Settings, System, GPS), click the GPS tab and the top box should read "TomTom Navigator GPS",
and the second box should read "Bluetooth GPS". Make sure you you click the box next to these settings to complete, a tick is added.
Please note your TomTom reciever must be swithched on prior to doing this.
To check completion after this click on the Satus box and you should see some activity and sats recieved!
**To bond your Bluetooth reciever with your PDA.
See http://support-uk.tomtom.com/cgibin...290aCZwX3NlYXJjaF90eXBlPTMmcF9wYWdlPTE*&p_li=
Hope this sorts you out..
Tried the wizard and now it works, I was using it on another XDA 2 and was concerned that it was only restricted to that device after the intial use.
Thx Chaps
Glad to be of help ,
Hi,
must enable, as first,the bluetooth on your XDA,later set on gps options NMEA V9600 and com 5,will must work.

XDAII / Tomtom 3.07 / Aktronix -- Please Help

I recently upgraded my Bluetooth GPS Receiver from a rikaline 6030 to an Aktronix with 16 satellites but i can't make it work with my XDAII and Tomtom 3.07.
I can pair it. But when i start the Tomtom GPS Tracker, it can't seem to connect to the Aktronix GPS Receiver.
Any Help will be greatly appreciated
Which port are you using for the gps? Did you accept serial profile when gps was being bonded. Try choosing tomtom wireless gps and bt gps in the bottom box.
I tried to use com 1 port, but xda issued an error saying that com 1 doesn't exist. I then tried 4, 5, 7, 9 to no avail. I tried selecting tomtom wireless gps and bt gps but it still failed to work although that's the setting i used for the rikaline 6030.
The aktronix uses nmea chipset and the manual tells me to use it as an spp slave but xda doesn't have that option. I also tried installing pocket Bluetooth tools but when i tried to pair the aktronix GPS, there's no port number in the serial option. It just has a blank field...
Hopefully you guys can help me sort this out
Try the following under the GPS section (2nd page where the world map is).
Top dropdown = NMEA 0183 v2 Bluetooth
Bottom dropdown = Blue tooth Serial Port COM6
Make sure the box is "ticked"
Also, switch on Bluetooth, go into bluetooth setting,select service, highlight serial port and make sure there is a tick in the Enable service box.
HTH
Kevin
I've selected NMEA 0183 v2 Bluetooth and Com 6. But when i went to bluetooth settings, i can't see service on it. All i can see are:
================================
Bluetooth Beam Authentication
Authentication Required
Bluetooth ActiveSync Setup
Press start button...
Bluetooth Serial Port Setup:
Inbound COM port: COM4
Outbound COM port: COM5
================================
Is this the service that you're talking about? If not, where can i find this service thing that i need to highlight.
ROM Version 1.72.00WWE
Radio Version 1.17.00
ExtRom version 1.72.187
Looking at those setting you should be choosing com 5 for your gps. It should also work by choosing tomtom wireless in the top box and bt gps in the lower box in tomtom gps settings. Try removing the gps from your bonded items, reset the xda then rebond, it should offer to act as serial port profile, answer yes to this.
I also tried installing pocket Bluetooth tools but when i tried to pair the aktronix GPS, there's no port number in the serial option. It just has a blank field...

This is the same problem for me, but with a Royaltek RBT-1000, XDA II and Pocket Bluetooth Tools installed...
Any solution?
Well, I have a similar condition.
O2 XDA II, AA Navigator and Fortuna Clip-On Bluetooth GPS.
It has worked before with TomTom, it STILL works with Microsoft Pocket Streets - you start it and it shows the GPS data.
AA Navigator automatically detects the device, setting the data to COM5 (which seems right to me - Outbound port which means the XDAII initiates the link) and speed to 4800. This is the same setting which is used by (working) Microsoft Pocket Streets, so I'm pretty much confident that the port would be COM5.
Yet when I confirm this, it still says <unplugged/setup wrong>... and the blue LED on Clip-on does not pulsate just like it does when there is the reception with other working software...
Wrote e-mail to AA support (I'm no fool to ring £1 / minute support line...) and waiting the answer... not going to resort back to TomTom...

TomTom5 and parrot 3300 on windows mobile 5

Hi,
I've read the BT TomTom how to's but to no avail. I've also heard that becuase the parrot 3300 is a bluetooth carkit as well as a bluetooth GPS reciever you have to fiddle to get it working.
I've fiddled until I could fiddle no more!
Anyone managed to get this setup working - if so, HOW!
Thanks in advance.
Tom.
I got mine working without any problems (other than the tedious tomtom configuration)
Make sure you run the latest 3300 firmware from www.parrot.biz
You only set up one partnership with the 3300.
It will support 2 services:
Serial Port (for GPS) (fiddling required as per tomtom posts)
Hands free
zach
Zach - did you do the serial port 0 & 8 switch from post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=28386
or the serial port 5 bodge from post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=22794&highlight=3300
Thanks,
Tom.
I did the 0 & 8 switch, I did not try the bodge, it has been working ever since so I am not touching it.
I have not had to hard reset since the jasjar update came out (Sept 30?)
and it has been working great.
One thing you have to remember when you turn tomtom on, it turns on your bluetooth, so by swithing tom tom on you will get both GPS & hands free.
hope that helps
Zach
hmm I've tried every which way but loose.
On your parrot - in GPS settings mine never says connected.
When I'm spoofing the COM port 0 tomtom sees that fine, but when I then swap the BT to use COM0 tomtom never sees the device.
Confused :roll:
These are the steps I'm taking.
1. Create a BT connection with the parrot
2. Tick the head set checkbox and serial check box
3. create a parrot outgoing COM port (8)
4. Create a virtual COM port (0) in Settings > Connections > GPS.
5. Start TomTom, configure GPS and select COM(0)
6. Quit TOMTOM
7. Change Virtual GPS port from (0) to (8).
8. Change BT parrot COM port from (8) to (0).
9. Delete virtual COM(8) port
10. Start TOMTOM
When I get to stage 10 nothing happens.....
Try doing this
remove totmtom from your device,
soft reset,
install tomtom 5.1
1. Create a BT connection with the parrot
2. Tick the head set checkbox and serial check box
3. create a parrot outgoing COM port ( 8 )
4. Create a virtual COM port (0) in Settings > Connections > GPS.
5. Start TomTom, configure GPS and select COM( 0 )
6. Quit TOMTOM
7. Change Virtual GPS port from ( 0 ) to (none).
8. Change BT parrot COM port from ( 8 ) to ( 0 ).
9.
10. Start TOMTOM you may have to wait up to 5 minutes the first time
TomTom only sees the Virtual port.
you want to set the virtual port, Bond tomtom to it
change the BT port to the same number as the virtual.
clear the virtual port
start tomtom
Also I am Using Port 8 for my Serial port Not 0
I had to use a SD card reader in order to install the maps.
Did you try tomtom 5.2?
what error are you getting?
Hmm yep this is the exact procedure I have been doing.
When I go into TOMTOM after swapping the BT COM port with the Virtual COM port it just sits there saying "No GPS Device". I've left it a good 15 minutes. I've also tried using COM(8) and COM(0). No use. I've also checked tomtom is expecting the right COM port by looking at /Navigator/navigator.cfg (and it says COM0 or COM8 depending on the COM port I previously selected in TOMTOM).
On your parrot, before you open TOMTOM if you go into GPS Settings (on the parrot not the PPC) and view the information does it say "connected"? Mine always says disconnected. I can use the hands free part of the parrot without problems. it won't seem to connect to the PPC.
Thanks,
Tom.
Is your GPS activated on the parrot?
there is an on/off function for the GPS under GPS settings.
I assume that the parrot is in pocket pc pairing mode, before you pair it.
Also what is your parrot software version?
You should have at least 4.1, lower versions have a lot of problems when it comes to pocket pc's
Yep GPS is active.
Using Parrot version 4.13
Does your Parrot say connected in parrot GPS information without TOMTOM being started? Or does it only say that when TOMTOM is running?
Thanks for your help btw zach - much appreciated
On the parrot display I get the name of the Device (pocket pc)
The satellite # and the distance traveled.
I get this regardless of the pocket pc being connected or not.
I get a GPS connected message on the screen but that is only momentarily.
Also make sure that your baud rate on the parrot is set to 9600 NMEA
Right.
I get this also.
But when I go into GPS > Information on the parrot it says "disconnected"...
are you using a legit version of tomtom?
what do you see on the screen when you start tomtom?
Yep I'm using a legit version with traffic and weather.
On the PPC I see "No GPS Device" and the Map and on the parrot I see the name of the pocketPC.
Did you try TomTom 5.2?
downloading now
One more thing,
Just soft reset & Start tomtom.
Tomtom will activate bluetooth and connect both the GPS & the handsfree
Ok I'll try that.
Is there any order you need to start things? I.e do I need to start TOMTOM then start the ignition on my car or start the ignition THEN start TOMTOM or doesn't it matter?
Soft reset , Start the car, wait for the parrot animation to complete , start tomtom
ok cool i'll try that,
thanks zach
Tom.

GPS Bluetooth with TomTom

Hi All,
With some tricks I managed to install TomTom 5 navigator but I'm having trouble connecting it to the GPS bluetooth mouse from Rikaline 6033.
I paired the device and assigned serial port com6 to it but I cannot see port com6 within TomTom.
TomTom bluetooth support is installed.
Any suggestions?
Tried this freeware?
http://www.bluetooth.jazztel.es/
Good luck!
"Pocket Bluetooth Tools adds the missing Bluetooth functions to the O2 XDA II (or other compatible PDAs like the MDA II).
The current version includes:
Support for Bluetooth Headsets and Car kits (Headset and Handsfree Profil). You may use up to 9 devices at the same time and you do not need to bond the again.
Support for the SSP profile (serial port), e.g. for GPS receivers or modems
Support for ActiveSync (synchronization with Outlook and Internet connection)
Switch Bluetooth on and off automatically
The current version 1.60 of the ROM includes already a virtual serial port but unfortunately it is a dynamic port, which is not visible to many applications. Also the ActiveSync support is difficult and complicated to use and if you want to synchronize with different computers you have always to couple the device again.
For future releases I plan the following improvements:
Support for Bluetooth network access points
Send contacts and files through Bluetooth"
Thanks for your suggestion but two things make me hasitating...
I have a qtek S200 and the software is clearly designed for XDAII and similars.
I do have sertial port profile (assigned port 6 to the GPS mouse)
The only thing is that I do not see the serial port com6 in the TomTom application.
riiiiighhhtt,
ive had this problem with tomtom 5.0 and my bluetooth GPS device, but dont be dismayed, there is a solution! I hope that this can be applied to you and your bluetooth mouse, ...
ok, as far as i can tell there is a problem with tomtom 5.0 and the avaliable com ports. In your bluetooth com manager you can choose any avalible port, but tomtom 5.0 will only give you a few of those to choose from. Ok, to make this work, you just need a hexeditor on you pc, there are even some for the pocketpc so you can do it all on your device.
so, what you need to do is, go into tomtom, select a port for your bluetooth device (even if its not the same one you chose in the bluetooth manager) then quit out of tomtom and then sync your device, and explore it in windows
ok in:
/my device/program files/navigator
there is a file called:
naviagtor.cfg
what you need to do
is open that file up in a hexeditor, and once open it should look something like:
...................a.*....."................[email protected]domain.com$x8ysvy.n: COM7:...............
Where COM7 is the selected bluetooth port you chose in tomtom
All you need to do is change it to:
...................a.*....."................[email protected]domain.com$x8ysvy.n: COM0:...............
Where COM0 is the com port you chose in the bluetooth manager, for your specific bluetooth device
save, and now copy the navigator.cfg file back to you device, from whence it came, and then restart tomtom
it might take a little longer than you might expect, but it should now pick up your device, ... however, if you want it to continue to work, DO NOT GO IN TO THE TOMTOM BLUETOOTH PORT A SELECTOR AND CHANGE ANYTHING, as this will reset the navigator.cfg file and then you have to go through the whole process again!!
If you have a few devices you want to connect to tomtom, i would suggest setting them all up on 'dummy' tomtom ports, then setting up the REAL ports in the bluetooth manager, then changing the navigator.cfg file in a hexeditor. Once you have a decent .cfg file, save it to your memory card, JUST IN CASE, you mess up your tomtom bluetooth and need to work while you're out and about
hope that helps

what version of tomtom are you using, i had the same problem on my wizard with version 5. when i updated to 5,21 from the tomtom site it added the extra com ports in tom tom and everything worked fine.
Ady B)
This is what I did today on my XDA Mini S. It's collected from this and other forums.
First I had to install the GPS icon on the PDA in settings/connections using a freeware registry editor.
STEP 1: ACTIVATE THE GPS CONTROL PANEL
1. Start up a registry editor
2. Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings 3. Delet the Dword in there and the value and replace them with:
A new DWORD called "Group" and give it the value of "2" (dec) 4. And create a new string called "(default)" with no value (I think there was originally a string called redirect, rename this "(default)" if it's there 5. The GPS panel will now show up in your connection settings. (check it does)
note: you may have to soft reset after each stage if it appears not to work straight away but i managed to make these changes then saved them soft reset and then went to control panel in settings and a GPS option was there. You'll need this for the next stage. Wait about 1 minute before doing the soft reset.
STEP 2: Set up the GPS & Tomtom
1. Establish a bond with your GPS and select the checkbox for serial access.
2. In the GPS control panel, select the GPS program to 6 and make sure that the hardware one, is set to None.
4. Start TT5 and the GPS settings, select another bluetooth GPS, and you will see COM 6 free. Select COM 6 and close TT5.
5. At the GPS control panel again, now select COM (none) 6. At BT: select OUTGOING port to 6.
7. Finally start TT5 and it should connect automatically. Wait for a couple of seconds and click the GPS settings and you should see it has connected.
If you follow the above exactly it should hopefully work.

Ok Dave, I did exactly what you did, and thanx a lot, it's working quite well !
But something annoying is happening: I have to do the BT part EVERY TIME I launch TT5 (It actually asks for it, password, COM port etc...) !!
As if my pairing wasn't saved...
Any advice ?
Thx

How does the Prophet perform with TomTom and MediaPlayer running at the same time?
Sluggish?
On the Prophet, you learn one thing very quickly:
Never launch 2 programs at the same time ! :lol:

hi which hexeditor did you use and where did you download it from. unable to get one with the script line like you typed. help much appreciated.
cheers
hi there,
sorry to trouble you again. would it be possible for you to give a more descriptive explanation regarding the editing with the hexeditor.
cheers
This is how I did it:
1) Pair the two devices, non secure connection
2) Settings/Connections/Bluetooth/COM Ports - Select a new outgoing port
3) Select your GPS and assign COM Port
4) Start TomTom Settings - select "Another GPS"
5) Select the same COM Port as above
Wonderful combination, selling my Explorist 500

I came unstuck at this point and had to fiddle around until I finally managed to get my BT GPS device to talk to my phone and TTN6. The following steps worked for me.
1. Pair your BT GPS with your handset BEFORE installing TTN6 (or 5 for that matter).
2. On the handset go to Settings > Connections > GPS, set the GPS Program port to COM8 and the GPS Hardware port to whatever COM your GPS device uses (mine uses COM5). The Baud rate should be set according to your GPS device's manual (mine is 4800).
3. Install TTN6 on your device and follow the setup. When asked, select whichever BT GPS receiver you're going to use and use COM8 as your communication port (if it hasn't appeared, go back to step 2 and try using COM9 instead of COM8).
4. Exit TTN6.
5. Go to Settings > Connections > GPS again, but this time set the GPS Hardware port to "(None)" and the GPS Program port whatever COM your GPS device uses (again, mine uses COM5).
6. Restart TTN6. The program should now pick up your BT GPS device.
If you're still having problems, I'm afraid I can't help much further. This worked for me, but I have a UK Orange SPV M600. It may not work for everyone.
Happy hunting,

Maybe I'm late or wrong, but you CAN NOT have the same serial port asigned to two devices!, depending on your version of TOM TOM you may be out of the serial port supported range....
BT serial ports are the same as the "old" PC ones.... one cable at a time....
Hope it helps.
Help before I kill my phone............
My head is going to explode at this rate.
Can anyone help me, at basic level, how to:
1. Get a reg editor, by name not just 'get a reg editor' as I have tried 2 now to no avail.
2. Is the GPS settings already in the registry to edit on my 02 mini S or do I need to get that from somewhere before I start?
Currently I can get the bluetooth to pair, can create another OUTGOING port and thats it. It wont actually give me any device even though phone is paired to it
Why cant it just be SIMPLE!!!!
BTW, Im running TTN6 and an 02 Mini S.
Cheers for now, Taff
I got tomtom (but version 6) working flawlessly with my S200. I assigned COM6 as the outgoing port for the GPS, then assigned COM7 as an incoming port. I enabled a secure connection. Then i disabled bluetooth and started tomtom (tomtom enables and disables BT automatically).
I added the GPS device as "other GPS device", waited a few seconds and there it was working.
Maybe the problem is your tomtom version being too old?
My GPS receiver is a BT-338.

XDA11s problem with TomTom, BT and GPS reciever

Hi Good Peoples,
My first post here and I hope you will excuse my ignorance please. I am hoping that someone can help me, as I would pull my hair out, if I had the left. :shock:
I have an XDA 11s and I have installed TomTom software. The satellite receiver is a Haicom HI-701 BT (four in one Bluetooth) and I have a number of problems.
When I installed the GPS hardware, in the Bluetooth Services section I installed it as a serial port connection and have the enable service box ticked. Do I need any other boxes here ticked?
The Bluetooth Manager shows the Haicom shortcuts, but it does not connect on start-up. It has to be manually connected. Once it is connected, unfortunately it shows no dataflow, in either direction. I think that is the second problem. :roll:
The Bluetooth flashing light shows that the Bluetooth connection has not been made; what do I need to do to fix that?
When I start the TomTom, it shows that I have no GPS Device (now there is a surprise) and I tried to configure it using the NMEA option with 4800 baud rate. However I then have eight options ranging from infrared through to Bluetooth serial to choose from, and I'm not sure which one I should be using. I mucked around for hours and had working for about one minute, but unfortunately I can not repeat the trick.
Is there anyone out there who could be kind enough to please tell me how to configure the thing please?
XDA IIs
The XDAIIs is a BlueAngel - try posting in the correct forum next time.
Make sure that you have selected the "outgoing connection" - not the "incoming connection" when choosing the serial port in TT.
Also turn on BT and manually connect to the GPS first - somethimes I had to do that rather than rely on TT to do it for me.
You asked whether other boxes sould be ticked - what are these - I no longer have a BA and can't remember...
Charlie Grillo
oops sorry, I was not sure which forum to post it under as the BlueAngel did not specify IIs, although the picture looked like a better match.
I hate to sound like a total technical cretin but what is TT?
The other boxes are:
Authorisation requires
Authentication (Passkey) Required
Encryption required.
Thanks for the response.
TT = TomTom
I have found a fix for my XDA2 with Tom Tom and GPS BT-321 H
This was such a headache for me but through persistance - I got it working
This is how I did it
1. I downloaded - Bluetooth tool 1100 "BTHTools1100"
this help me to asisgn my Holox BT-321 to my XDA2 via bluetooth to port Com7
2. I then downloaded "GPSTuner_v5" & GPSmonitor1.1
These programes enable me to talk to my GPS and adjust PORT COM setting and also Band rate
having got these programes to work and pair with my GPS
the next step with TOM TOM6 worked fine trying different ports
All the Best to all XDA fans out there!!!

2. I then downloaded "GPSTuner_v5" & GPSmonitor1.1
These programes enable me to talk to my GPS and adjust PORT COM setting and also Band rate
having got these programes to work and pair with my GPS
the next step with TOM TOM6 worked fine trying different ports
All the Best to all XDA fans out there!!!
Thanks, I have actually got it working with a combination of black magic, voodoo, good luck and threatening to trample on it. :wink:
