Hi,
Anyone know if you can get a GPS mouse with a mini-usb connection and if so can it work with teh Wizard? (Thinking Tomtom)
Thank you
Anyone?
Do You realy need wires to connect?
I use Pharos GPS I360 with bluetooth adapter
and it works fine.
As far as i know you cannot use the miniUSB connector for GPS input (I could be wrong but i did a little reading before i decided to trust bluetooth [again])
However as fresh123breeze says just use a bluetooth one, seems to work fine with TTN5 (unlike TTN3 which was cr*p on bluetooth)
Thanks,
I have the Tomtom BT GPS receiver; I just windered if there was an alternate non-BT version
I would like a wired gps also
pre mda vario I used a HP2210 which was wired to a Haicom GPS when in the the car
The benifit was the ability to power the gps and charge the PDA whilst in the car. I never used the mains charger. Never had to worry about flat PDA of Btooth GPS batteries

Anyone have the car kit with the rj45 plug that is suppose to be for a serial GPS?
Know where to get the GPS that plugs into it? :?:
hi,
I got a arkon kit (with powered cradle, loud speaker, and rj input for tomtom wired gps receiver). This means that your gps is always powered, as is your xda, from 1 cable to the cradle from lighter socket. Never run your xda battery low again, or indeed your gps is always on, no charging like the BT models.
Works an absolute treat as a sat nav unit, also listen to mp3's, make voice calls (this is not so clear, but does work, but I have a nokia phone and car kit too for voice calls)
Have a look at this on ebay, like mine, in fact from same seller in uk!

not what I am looking for.... I have the powered car kit and are looking for a GPS reciever with an RJ45 plug on the end of it???
?? HELP
I have never seen a serial GPS that has an RJ-45 (or RJ-11 come to that). They all tend to have 9-pin DIN or 6-pin (keyboard connector-type) DIN. So, why not just buy whichever GPS you like that has a serial port, and MAKE a cable?
Or get a BlueTooth GPS and not use a cable at all?

I have the Bluetooth one and it works quite nicely.
Also the wired TomTom mice did have such a connector. I believe those are in fact a Leadtek . . .
I Have the M1000 and am looking at all the option for hands free and Sat nav.
I have been eying up the Bluetooth Parrot CK3300 but i see some people have been having problems with it and the M1000/XDA2.
What about if i were to go for the CK3100 and a cable or BT connected tomtom kit, would this be better?
Any thought are welcome.
I have just installed a parott ck3300 and it works perfectly with CoPilot. Because of the MS bluetooth stack you don't get full functionality of the phone as only headset profile is allowed but it does work well; I prefer this set up as I always have a gps fix and the unit will never need recharging - I'm very pleased with it!!
Thanks, so you have the copilot software and using the GPS receiver on the CK3300, rather that a wired gps receiver?
Yeap; it all works really well; I run CoPilot Live with the built in BT receiver of the CK3300; I also use GPRS of the XDA 2 to update via the live connection and can receive/make phone calls all with the one car kit!!
Fantastic, it looks like i will be getting me the 3300 then
Hi,
Does anyone else attempt this with their MDA Vario?
Blue tooth enabled and communicating incar with Parrot CK3100 - works fine, bt always enabled, and pairs with parrot on entering the car and switching on ignition.
Load up tomtom5 - bluetooth connects fine to GPS aswell as parrot & can use gprs to retrieve traffic updates.
Enable Wifi to attach to an 80gb incar wifi hardisk, and use tcpmp to play music from it through car stereo via stereo jack.
Problem seems to be the bluetooth keeps dropping out regulary while the wifi is active - ie the tomtom will lose gps connection, and regain it a few minutes later, or the parrot will display disconnected then reconnect a minute later. Disable wifi and it seems to behave itself (but obviously no music)
I have an Ipaq 5550 which had been using the wifi/blutooth for all the above simultaneously (and still can), which I want to replace with the wizard.
incar 80GB HD!?!
Hey Paul,
I don't know the answer to your problem (yet).
But what harddisk do you use in your car to connect over your Wizard? I have a Parrot 3100 also and love the idea of playing my music wireless in my car.
Hope you can advise me.
Asus WL-HDD2.5 + 80gb disk, powered via a 5v2a camcorder carcharger (the normal 1amp accessory socket chargers don't have the power to start up the disk).
Looking for a quick reply here. I'm considering getting a bluetooth car radio and need to know if my exec can be connected to it (as a hands free phone) as well as to my BT-77 GPS bluetooth reciever for my TomTom 5 sat nav application - at the same time... The car radio i'm considering is the Pioneer DEH-P55 or DEH-P70 series.
Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.
i don't know if it will work with you, but i used to connect my jasjar to my pc as AS and DUN at the same time, with my jabra bt500 connected to it simultaneously.
I use a Parrot Car kit (or Bluetooth Headset) at the same time as a BT77. So as long as your radio supports the "handsfree" profile, I don't see why it shouldn't work.
Cheers,
Steve.
Hi,
I was wondering, is it possible to use bluetooth car kit on a Wizard at the same time it is using its bluetooth connection to talk to a bluetooth GPS dongle (Holux 236)?
TIA
i use a parrot car bt car kit and the same holux gps receiver sometimes at the same time and have no problems.
I also use a Holux 236 and talk with my earpiece at the same time. I haven't had any problems yet.
Nice one, thanks for that.
This should be perfectly possible.
The Bluetooth standard v1.2 allows a device to connect to multiple devices via bluetooth at the same time.
Not sure on the exact specs, but can imagine the device time splitting data from multiple devices with certain connection types having different priorities?!?!
So, having a BT Headset and GPS at same time - headset device should be ok, but GPS data may be slower to update....
Thanks again.
