My spv doesn'twant to pair with the tomtom gps bluetooth receiver, It recognizes it, asks for the pin, accepts pin and the device is accepted, then when I use the tomtom and configure tomtom software to the recievre, nothing happens and keeps saying no gps recievr, and when i go to bonded device i find the reciver gone from directory (not thier any more). I tried resetting the device, removing the tmtom and reinstall it...but no way. Any ideas mates?
I use tomtom 5.0, and tomtom gps receiver MKII

Totally new at this game! Just bought XDA2 and been given tomtom bluetooth GPS (no instructions) how do I bond it with the xda, it asks for device pin, but you can not input anything in to the GPS (and I dont know the pin if it does need one)
Thanks in advance.
to my knowledge pin of tomtom gps receiver is 0000 which you have to enter on your xdaII, not on the receiver.
i don't know which ROM you have but if it is less than 1.72 you probably have to install bluetooth tools to be able to assign serial port. not for the bonding, but for being able to communicate.

but try it first without
If you are using the TomTom software it will configure all the ports for you automatically. Yes the GPS reciever is 0000. It asks for this Number when you bond "New" device.
Good luck

Thanks guys. I did need the down load.
It now connects happily.
On my ppc you have to uncheck the accept incoming beams IR option in the connections tab in control panel. On mine these frees up the com port and then tomtom allows you to select the correct one.
Might be the same on yours
Cingular 8125 & TomTom GO 910
Is there anyway to pair these two for use of the GPS features? They find each other as far as the TomTom acting as a Bluetooth headset (albeit a bad speakerphone), but it would be nice to have the GPS functions on the phone as well.
When I first tried installing this stack (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33532 ) my exisiting bluetooth devices - a Jabra BT200 headset and Ambeon GPS both worked, just like that - without re-pairing, the latter with TomTom3.
However, in order to make stereo over A2DP to work I had to hard-reset and reinstall everything. Glad to say A2DP did work! However took opportunity to upgrade from TomTom3 to TomTom5.
Now I've re-paired with the GPS using the new stack, during which it asks if I want ti install a serial port. But it doesn't seem to be recognised by TomTom. And, if I go to the COM tab, and try and add a new port there is nothing in the drop down.
Any ideas?
The BT outgoing port on my magician is fixed at Com5. Maybe because I am using GPS Gate (a program to create virtual Com port so that U can open 2 or more GPS program at the same time), I don't have any problem before and after installing that BT stack.
Maybe U can try GPS Gate too. Just open Com5 in GPS gate and create an virtual port Com6. Then ask TT to connection to Com6.
Thanks but it's all OK
I used this great little free program
http://www.teletype.com/downloads/tty.zip
to test whether the GPS box was actually connected (but not recognised by TomTom) and it was - on COM5!
So I pocked around with TomTom some more, and found that it could pick up a signal on COM5 but if a signal was not there it reported that 'No GPS device' rather than 'No valid GPS signal.'
upgrade tomtom 5 to tomtom 5.1 :wink:
GideonS, did you get BT outgoing port to show up? If so, how? Like you, when I try to select one, it comes up with a blank selector box.
(Maybe I missed something in the thread, but the GPS Gate surely relies on diverting an existing port?)
thanks in advance!

my tt5 5.21 (5430) + iberia plus 6.3.2 don't recognize my Socket GPS (http://www.socketcom.com/product/GP0820-521.asp)
i used that program you mencioned and it receives data on COM8 as defined by me
i'm at home and i never get a fix inside so i can't test if it's the same situation of the error messages switch
when i do, i'll post the result
Hi all,
Just go the xda through work, and even though i have got the new version of tom tom of their website (5.2) for ppc, when loaded and docked in my cradle, it cant sem to get the GPS to receive!?!?! anyone else had this problem?
I have an O2 XDA Exec and its working fine with the TomTom 5.2 software. I got some very useful info from http://www.pocketgps.co.uk/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=6 ..... basically a post on there advised setting up an outgoing com port to the BT GPS device (I used Com0) ... this is found under Start>Settings>Connections>Bluetooth>ComPorts (after you have paired the BT device of course).
In TomTom you then select "Other Bluetooth GPS" in the GPS options screen, select the Com port set previously, and away you go.
I hope this helps
I bought a 32-channel QStarz GPS receiver from eBay, cracking little thing it is. I had problems getting it going though initially - what I had to do was setup a pairing, which was a little tricky as TT didn't want to behave.
Basically, TT tries to establish a serial connection whenever I open it. As TT loaded, just before it went into the TT interface, It showed a dialog box with all my serial connections in - I think it might've been the device pairing screen, but I've not been able to find it again... What I did was pick the gps receiver's serial port device entry I'd previously set up, select it, check the box to tell TT to always connect to this device by default, and then hit enter - all before TT managed to load into the interface. It took me a couple of goes, and I'm sure there's an easier way to do this (I don't think I was even supposed to see this dialog screen ) but now it works perfectly. I don't have to establish the Bluetooth connection to the GPS receiver, TT does that (and it'll even turn the Bluetooth on and off if it's not already on for me). However, I did have to choose Other NMEA GPS from the device options, and then tweak my COM port settings (I found a scant piece of information regardingthe fact that it should be something like COM5 for incoming data and COM6 for outgoing data, you would do well to doublecheck the TomTom site's FAQs for this info). There's a couple of seconds lag whilst TT correctly detects the device and begins to latch onto GPS sats (it says "No Compatible GPS Device Detected!", and then changes to something like "No GPS Signal Detected"... And then starts picking up sats.
This is all with TT5.0, by the way.
This document will be very useful.. principal is the same for most GPS Receivers..

Not sure if you are trying to receive through a Bluetooth GPS receiver - if you are, this worked for me (first poston the page);

Thanks for your help guys, but i meat to say i am using a wired GPS the small square official Tom Tom one, hard wired in to my cradle.
I can open the software and everything, but it just says, cant find GPS, the green light flashes on my GPS, but thats all it does.
Help!
Ok, so you're using a wired receiver.. That helps to know. You should be able to choose TomTom Wired GPS or Other Wired GPS, and it should just... work. If it doesn't, choose the nearest chocie to your receiver, and go into the Advanced settings (if the option button is available) - if so, doublecheck what your COM port settings are.
Where did you buy the cradel from, I just got ripped off to the tune of £48 off ebay due to the cradle not actually passing the srl connection through, all it does is provide power for a Bluetooth GPS Receiver out of the port on the side.
I think I've heard othe rpeople saying that wired GPS receivers will not work with the Universal. Can anyone confirm this?
What you have heard is correct the mini USB on the Exec WILL NOT accept a GPS connection, you need a bluetooth device for this to work - Mike
Tony B - that sounds like the cradle i am using - jasjar or jamjar something like that!
I have put my wired GPS straight in to the side, and nothing!!
think you might have got it mate!
hi there

Hi
Ok - installed TomTom6
First of all I removed TomTom 5, rebooted and then installed TomTom 6 as per this site:
http://ppcwarez.org/index.php
Ok - so all went well, installed inc UK map fine.
Isue is the Blutooth. I have a BT GPS. So I removed it, repaired it, entered access key of 0000, gave Outgoing com port as 6. Started TomTom , configured GPS to use another Bluetooth GPS receiver, selected com6 and they found each other. The issue is when I turn off the BT GPS unit and the restart it, TomTom wont find it the GPS unit. I have to remove it from the Bluetooth setting on the OS and repair - with the ley being the code of 0000
If I try and pair the TomTom with the TomTom Blueotth GPS reciever - it has the key symbol with 0000 in - but it wont pair. Now, this seems to have been carried over from the previous installation. Can I remove they key for this device - as this may work?
Any ideas?
Scott
i have the same bt gps you need to delete the bt partenship and call it gps only instead of bt gps that should work
Hi!
I have the same problem. Tried to rename to gps, but no luck.
Every time I turn off the Bluetooth GPS, I have to delete the partnership, redo the partnership, assign an outgoing COM port, and then finally tomtom6 sees the bluetooth gps again .....
Any clues?
Thanks.
Hi,
I have a new Orange SPV M3100. It is a replacement for one which was damaged. Prior to to exchange I was running navigator 6 on the old phone with a navicore bluetooth gps receiver fine. I have installed tomtom navigator 6 on my new phone but there is no way I can get a GPS signal. The gps receiver is connected. I then try to connect via tomtom and nothing. Have followed instructions on this link to no avail:
http://www.tomtom.com/support/solution.php?GID=3&PID=1402&SID=0&CID=223&Language=1&FID=4806
The problem is that when trying to select a port there are no bluetooth serial ports listed. I have spent 2 days trying to get this sorted to no avail. any help would be appreciated.
turn on bluetooth,make sure tomtom is not running,and go to bluetooth settings,search for devices and pair with the gps unit.
then assign the device a port,i always choose 9 and close.restart phone start tomtom and setup gps device as other etc and port 9 should show and hopefully the jobs oxo!
i hope this helps
great instructions...
only one thing to add, on a certain build of Tomtom (i forget which i have used every build since version 2 IIRC)
i had to tell tomtom that i was using "Other NMEA GPS Reciever"
On all other builds i have had to do the same steps to pare the BT GPS device, followed by making the OUTGOING Com port and then tell TomTom i was using "Other Bluetooth GPS Reciever" in order to get it working...
if your having problems see if one or the other device can make the difference ONCE YOU HAVE FOLLOWED THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS.
