Hi, Please help.
My problem is this, i have a bt-q880 bluetooth gps reciever. I am trying to pair it with my xda mini s but it wont pair. When i search for the device it can see it and it looks like it should work but my pairing light keeps flashing. I've tried pocket gps tools to no avail the little clock stays greyed out. it also doesnt ask me for the code to pair. I have tried the reciever with a nokia 7600 and it all works ok (pairs and lkight goes solid), it just wont pair with the xda mini s. Any help MUCH appreciated.
bump ? anyone ?

Hi everyone
up until today i was using a 3970 with tomtom2 and a b/tooth emtac receiver.Bought a xda2 today and firstly cant get the emtac to bond with thexda think im using the correct passkey of 0183 but the xda keeps saying invalid bluetooth pin :?:
any ideas as im pulling my hair out here,also on a similar subject cant seem to get the xda to even recognise my b/tooth headset,a hbh 30 which was working fine with the ipaq.Hope i can get these issues sorted as the Xda looks great.
Regards

I have a rebadged emtec receiver and can confirm that you need to install bluetooth tools (even with the latest ROM).
I have rebonded this thing many times due to ROM upgrades and hard resets, the other day it would not accept 0183. weird. A soft reset fixed this problem.
Thx for the swift reply guys,i will give it a go asap
watch this space
ah well thought it would be to easy,i downloaded the bluetooth tools and still not accepting the passkey of 0183 just saying invalid bluetooth pin.Any other ideas guys?
nige
this may be a stupid question but are you using the keyboard or transcriber to enter 0183?
The keyboard is the way to go here as you can't confirm if transciber is recognising correctly.

Have spent a long time trying to get my tomtom5 navigator working on my mda and now have it all going lovely - however I cant get my bluetooth reciever to be seen by tomtom. It is one of the BT-77 one that you see loads of on Ebay - did used to have it working with my old phone but not this one?
Any ideas - cant give up now!
Thanks

I have the same problem with an xdalls with a BT338 bluetooth gps.
I can get it to pair up. Tomtom5 does not see it though. Been thru all the settings that i can thing of.... i have the blue light flashing fast and then just logs off.

I have the BT-77 (also from ebay) and it works perfectly with the TomTom 5.21 software...
I had trouble with it initially too- it's to do with setting the right COM ports.
To get things working, I downloaded and installed Pocket Bluetooth Tools:
http://www.bluetooth.jazztel.es/ Download version 1.0.1.2
Delete any existing pair that you may have with the GPS receiver...
Re-pair the device with the above software installed, and now you will get an iconic menu, use the serial port option and select an available COM port. Complete pairing procedure as per on screen instruction.
Now start up TomTom and go to GPS options in preferences- select 'other bluetooth device' and now you should see the something called 'BT on COMx' x being the port you assigned earlier of course. Complete configuration.
Wait for the receiver to get a fix and you should be ready to go.
I've used the Pocket Bluetooth Tools many times on different variants of the Magician and has work everytime.

Hi!
Just registered to try and find out how to get my MDA II working with a bluetooth GPS and I find this thread. Thank you for the link to the bluetooth tools it seems to have worked a treat.
Cool. Glad it is working for you guys.
The software also works well with using Bluetooth and ActiveSync.
Greetings,
I have tomtom navigator installed on my XDA II and i have polstar bluetooth GPS, BT 111, they both work fine and excellent, but the problem is, the next time when i switch on the bluetooth gps and tomtom on my xda, tomtom doesnt detect the gps itself, I mean i have to delete the bluetooth entry in the bt manager of xda and i have to add this new bt connection and all the bt setup again, why is it, can someone please tell me the solution to it, i mean like is it possible tht everytime i switch on tomtom on xda it automatically detects my bt gps receivers.
Plz, thanks in advance
cheers

Hi guys, forgive me if i have missed a thread but have had a look and cant find an answer.
I have the Charmer and a BT GPS the problem is, everytime I turn on the GPS the charmer asks for the passcode as if a first time setup. I have looked at devices in bluetooth and the gps reciever dissapears once it's switched off logic says this shouldn't happen. Can anyone help me please.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks
bit late but have you paired the device.......
