Tom Tom 5 and XDA 2
I recently upgraded from TT3 to TT5, the only real problem I get is the phone ringer and caller display does not ring or display propperly.
My Jabra BT250 is slow in responding and answering when the button is pressed.
One other bugbare is not being able to see the Start Menu Bar when running TT5 as unable to see if you have a phone signal or received a text or missed a call.
Any help on these matters would be greatly apprecieated.
Thanks
ROM 1.7.2.00WWE
Radio 1.17.00
Ext Rom 1.72.18i1
It seem's every xda has different problem's , when my phone ring's it do's take a second to ring in the BT headset and about another second when the button is pressed to answer the call , and i get a balloon come up to say who is calling but i think that is part of Fonix voice dial. Icannot see away round including the start menu while running tt5 or 3 , so does tom tom freeze when you get a call or change phone arials??, sorry i could'nt be any more help

I have been using TT3 extensively past year and recently upgraded to TT5.
No real issues.
THE issue with TT3 was that when my BT GPS was out of reach and i started TT3, it almost locked up my whole device (had to soft-reset). I found out is has something to do with my BT GPS. Aparantly WM2003SE does not have this issue.
next to this, I noticed frequent freezes IF I had actoivated POI. Tested this with several (also Toshiba and Panasonic made) SD Cards.
With TT5 these problems are gone.
The only thing I noticed when using TT5 is when I try to start a phne call the display is not properly build up: all except the numbered buttons are there.
No freezes whatsoever here anymore.
All in all still an improvement.
Tom tom 5 icm socket/emtac gps
I upgraded to ttn5 but cant get my gps to fix

The options are BT on com 6 (but I dont have a com6)

any Ideas how to activate those com ports ?
Thanx

@pleun: Where do we find this patch (searched for it but no results) and what does it do?
Advice
I'm considering buying TT5 but am a bit concerned about all the problems people are having. I noticed on tomtom's website it is compatible with the XDA 2. Would it be best to buy this package as it all comes complete on an SD card tomtom have tested, or, go for TT3 - people are selling these on ebay really cheap??
TT5 and XDA2
I am running TT5 with the GB Plus map on the XDA2 without any problems.
You must use a BT or serial GPS connection. Get a good mount which has a RJ11 connector for the TT serial GPS or use a Y cable for something like the HAICOM PS2.
XDA2 512 SD
SIN MERGED
RADIO 1.8
WM2003SE
it makes com 5 visible to tomtom.
Have a "pain-in-the-ass problem"
I´m trying to establish a bluetooth connection between my 9100 and Garmin Gps 10. I find the gps when i´m searching and adding it to my device. But the symbol is a quetionmark and when I enter the garmin software it can´t find the gps device.
Another thing is how do I get my maps into the storage card?
Please if someone know..
Hi I got the same problem with a MDA-Compact (QTek S100) and the Garmin GPS-10 Deluxe.
First I got the ROM 1.12.00, with this ROM I couldn't give the com port 5 to the gps-mouse, but I saw in QUE-soft the tab connection where I can tell how the connection is made and I saw the detail map....
Than I updated the ROM to ver 1.13.00, now the bluetooth wizard asked me to take com port 5, but now the connection tab in the QUE-soft is gone I can't see the detail map.....
WHY HAVE I SOLD MY IQUE 3600 :x
ok, talked directly with Garmin about their products, and they said that GPS 10 is not compitable with WM5 yet.. they will come with an update that shold solve the problem but they don´t know when it willbe out....
When setting up my COM port for my BT GPS my Vario only has PORTS 6,7
No matter which port i choose doesnt matter because in my tomtom it only has COM 0,2,3,9
I downloaded some software to give me extra ports but i was no help in my situation it only gave me PORT 5-8.
It is good software.

How can i link my bluetooth GPS with my tomtom without matching ports??
tomtom 5.12 works ok.... had the same problem with the older version
open \program files\navigator\navigator.cfg with a text editor and change the number after com to 6 or 7 (which ever you used in bt settings). Page is mostly garble but you'll see comx with x as the port currently set in tomtom. You can copy file to pc and open with wordpad. edit and copy back.
worked for me.
I use my Vario on ports 6 and 7 with 5.21 version upgrade
MDA vario
Do Varios Only have PORT 6 and 7??
I have a T-Mobile Vario and an O2 mini S.
I setup a new outgoing port for port 7 for the BT device (in the BT settings), but when I tried to setup the BT device in TT it did not show an option in the configure menu for the BT device of either 6 or 7.
As soon as I upgraded to TT V5.2 it showed the com port 7 setting available.
So I think you need to upgrade to TT V5.2.
Yes, try the latest update from tomtom.com which is available for free and install it.
here is the page:

Befor installing read the comaptibiliy list to be sure that this is the right update for youre device.
Got the Update
Thanks blueled
I must have been using the wrong update before!
I have it now But..........
This may seem dumb but now its asking me for a activation code any ideas on a cough**
I just copied and pasted the old one over can i use the sameone or do i need a new cough**
Were almost there with this dumby
Thanks for all the help!!
How Did you paste the update over the old. Was'nt it an exe file for installation ?
I updated without the need of a new activation.
But anyway... why don't you go to their webside and get a new activation ?

Now ive just got to find a good signal with this bluetooth box Ive got the Gellink one any comments?
I had a mouse from them and it just broke today. What is a good INEXPENSIVE GPS box?
Now im going to be laughing at my girl friend when she wants to use my phone for the SAT NAV. (im going to say NOPE)
Hiya,
I think the subject line says it all...
I've got my good 'ol Tomtom navigator 5 running on my Vario just fine.
I cannot get it to connect to my GPS unit ( Emtac CruxII BTGPS ((Sirf))
I had this all working on my iPaq, although I always had to force the GPS onto NMEA using GPStweak. I could live with that...
I've paired succesfully, it shows port 6. ( unsecured )
Sirftweak & TomTom only show ports 0, 1, 2, 3, 4(ir),& 9
No matter what I do I can't connect.
I tried an " interesting " version of iGO and it connected straight away, I would have been very happy with that if I only wanted to navigate anywhere outside the UK. ( The Great Britain map just won't work )
Come on Guys, help or I will destroy the Known Universe ( I'm pissed off )
Cheers
The Mighty Tharg - Bringer of flatulance - God of noisey plumbing during the early hours etc..
OK, Update...
Updated to TT5.2 and com 6 appeared.. Hooray!
No way to switch over Emtac CruxII to NMEA.. Boo!
I used my 'ol iPAQ and sirftweak to do the change over and it all works..
Now the next problem, the btgps defaults to SiRF after a while.
Sirftweak and cruxview run on the Vario, but can't see port 6.
Does anyone know of a way to do this on the Vario, it seems silly to carry the iPaq about at the same time!
Maybe a command to send via a terminal prog or something????
I know, buy a new NMEA gps.. but where is the fun in that
Someone must have got around this one.
Someone........?????
Please.......
...
Got it working at last..
I downloaded cruxview ( I had been using the version from my iPAQ )
again, it has exactly the same version number but the new one can see port 6!
Yay!
