Xda2 and 2 bluetooth devices

I have an Xda2 running CoPilot 5 gps linked to a Rikaline X7 b/tooth gps receiver. All works fine. But at the same time I want to be able to take calls on a b/tooth earpiece whilst in my car.
I'm getting conflicting advice. Some say the Xda2 won't support 2 b/tooth devices running at the same time, but others say it can. Any suggestions please.
I was thinking of getting the new Motorola HS850 headset. Any comments?
Thanks

I use a Belkin BT GPS and a Jabra250 BT headset, I can make/answer calls while using GPS without any problem.

I use a Holux GR231 BT GPS and a Jabra 250 BT headset with ROM 1.72 FR, and I have NO PROBLEM to phone while navigating.

TomTom Bluetooth GPS & Bluetooth Handsfree

Is it possible to still talk handsfree using my bluetooth carkit whilst simultaneously using a bluetooth GPS receiver to run TomTom Navigator 5?

I was just about to post about this very topic .... :lol:
Whenever I receive a call to my Bluetooth headset when I'm running tomtom it cuts off my connection to the gps receiver. The call comes through to the headset properly and tomtom mutes itself but then it says that there's no gps receiver. Strangely it comes back every minute or so for a few seconds but then disconnects again. As soon as the call ends it works fine. I'm using the £40 bluetooth gps receiver from mobilefun.com, an O2 XDA Mini S and an O2 Bluetooth headset.
Has anyone else seen the same symptoms?
Cheers

I have no problems with this but I have found out that I need the phone app to run in the background before I start TomTom. Otherwise I will miss my incoming calls. I am using my "old" Nokia BT headset.

No problems here with a Holux GPSlim and Nokia old thing... Never had a problem with having the phone app open/closed.

tomtom 5 will mute the tomtom audio when you receive/make a call and should come back on when you finish the call, the phone app should not need to be started first, i can even use voice dial

Same for me Tom Tom running and I can use my very old bluetooth headset and voice dialing Tom Tom just mutes but keeps running while making a call. Hang up and everything goes back to normal.

This should not be a problem. Are you using the 5.21 version?
On the Himalaya this works just fine since Bluetooth was implemented properly (from 1.72.00 roms onwards). Therefore it would suprise me (I ordered my Wizard 2 days ago) if this would not work anymore.

Thanks for the replies.
Today my B'Tooth GPS arrived and as advised it all works correctly; even when connected to my Nokia B’Tooth hands free car kit, I was especially impressed how TomTom 5.21 switches on the B’Tooth automatically when started, connects after 15 sec or so and disconnects upon exiting the application.
I am very pleased with MDA Vario, I rate the whole package higher than my old XDa2S.

BT GPS working with BT headset

I use a BT GPS regularly with the TMo MDA (US) and would like to add a BT headset for phone use only. Will this cause any conflicts or errant behavior with the GPS when it is used? What happens if the GPS is being used and the BT headset is also enabled? Will they work together independently?
The reason I ask is that everytime I use the BT GPS on my notebook, the GPS requires re-creation of the partnership on the MDA, including re-entering the password, which is a real hassle. This isn't the same thing, but my two-year relationship with BT has taught me that it is not particularly user-friendly.
Has anyone here set up both? Any problems?

As far as the K-Jam goes, I've had both GPS and BT Headset active and they work no problem. Using TomTom I can recieve calls while Navigating but I do notice that when Audio is being transfered to the AudioGateway (Bluetooth Headset) TomTom will slow down, other than that, seems to work no problem

i have the cingular 8125, the motorola stereo BT headset and a BT gps reciever and use Iguidance for the gps software.. i have no issues using them all at the same time. Plus if im not in a call then iguidance will give the voice directions over by stereo headset.

Thanks to both of you. Shogunmark has a setup very similar to mine, as I have an old Foturna Clip-On BT GPS and running iGuidance v3. I'll give the BT headset a try.

Bluetooth Anomaly

Here's one for the books..
I have an external bluetooth GPS module for my Wizard. I use TomTom.
The GPS and TomTom will work with each other even if I have Bluetooth turned off in the communications manager.
I suppose TomTom overrides the 'off'ness.. however, the GPS device is the only thing that works. Handsfree does not.
Comments?

This is interesting. I guess OFF is not what it used to be.

Did you check if TomTom switches BT on while running and off after shutdown?

Bluetooth still off!
Indeed, bluetooth still shows 'off', and while tomtom is running I still can't make bluetooth calls. For anything except TomTom, bluetooth remains off even while it's on!

WM6 Bluetooth multiple connections problem

I have upgraded my BA to WM6 and have found that when using the BT GPS that the GPS will disconnect when I turn on the BT handsfree headset.
Can anyone provided me with some assistance to allow multple BT sessions to be connected.

Thanks baniaczek I will give that a try

baniaczek I have made the changes but it will still not allow gps and headset to connect at the same time.

My problem was this on a Hermes running WM6:
When using TomTom Navigator 6 with an iBlue BT GPS receiver, if I take/make a call with my SonyEricsson HBH-IV835 BT headset, the headset becomes disconnected after approx 30 seconds. In order to be able to use the headset again, it must be turned off/on.
I fixed it by NOT selecting to use "serial port" after the iBlue was paired. I set the program port to com6 and the hardware port to com0. Works both with TomTom and Google maps.

Yeah I had this too.
try this it worked for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328982
good luck
