Hi,
I have TOMTOM installed on my M600 and also have an Erricson HCB-30 Bluetooth hansfree car kit. I want to know if i can get the TOMTOM directions to sound through the car kit rather than the phones speaker.
Any ideas??

I use a THB car kit on my 2i, the phone answering works ok for it but the Tom Tom sound only uses the 2i speaker.
Is it possible to route it via the thb amp instead?
Which ROM build are you running? The latest O2 Rom has a patch file to route the audio through the car kit. if you do not have thsi i can mail you the file.
TT5 and Sound but with Parrot CK3300
I have a similar issue and wodered if you could help with this. The TT5 sound works fine when the XDAIIi is not in any powered cradle but as soon as I put it in a powered cradle, necessary for long journeys, the sound is auto muted somehow. The GPS system and car Kit is combined but its not physicaly connected to the XDAIIi. THe powred cradle is just that just power. Interestingly this doesn't happen on my wifes XDAIii which I haven't upgraded the ROM on.
Lazy mans answer is to revert back to the old ROM somehow but hey we like to progress!
Tom Tom sound
I have a similar problem, but i believe it is due to the fact the cradle was designed for the XDA1, but i could be wrong! I have the XDA 1 and the XDA IIi and the TOM TOM car kit works fine with the XDA1, but no sound with the XDA IIi
Can anyone help?
can the patch be used for the holux cr100, i am using pugz rom!

This way we keep it central. Thanks!
festen: That's a Wizzard thread not an Apline one ...
I too have a THB Bury car kit and have had the same problems and the response from THB when I contacted their support was the XDA2i is not supported. I am sure there is a way to do it tho. I was thinking of making a phono jack to plug into the headphones and then plug that into the
NAV input of my stereo
Updating the ROM did the trick, sound through the speakers for TOM TOM and the incoming phone calls.
Then it got stolen........
I guessed it right I am lazy. Reverted to a chance backup copy of the original o2 ROM and TT5 sound fine and self mute during call!
OK, I've never used BT but am thinking about getting a BT hands-free kit, possibly the Parrot CK3100

Will this product work with an MDA Pro as a speakerphone through the car speakers? What about for playing MP3 files? Mono or stereo?
Also, if I later retire my old XDA 1 from TomTom duties and get a BT GPS unit for the MDA Pro, will it work at the same time as the BT parrot CK3100?
Also, I assume the CK100 is powered by the car: how do you cope with powering GPS and Universal devices? Run off the battery or multiple cigar lighter attachments?
This can help you take the right decision

Sounds like an expensive way of getting tinny sounds through a small speaker to me. I already have bought TomTom 5 and use it on my old XDA 1 with a wired GPS unit. What I want is to use my MDA Pro as an mp3 player and telephone through the car speakers and expect one day to get a BT GPS unit and use the Pro for Tomtom instead of the XDA 1, but I'm just wondering about the feasibility of such an idea.
What I have is a similar set up but I guess it should work for you.
I am currently running my Universal with a BT headset and a BT GPS receiver. I use the headset to hear all the commands for turning by the navigation software and so far it works great.
That's great, Vapor, thanks. I'll see if a vendor can help with compatibility then.
I have o2 MiniS paired with a Parrot CK3100. It works fine. The quality of the sound is very good as it uses the car system.
The Parrot can be set up to sync with up to 5 separate bluetooth devices. If you want GPS there is the Parrot LS3400 GPS which does everything.
I have not tried it playing MP3.
The fixing costs are exorbitant and the unit can be bought for around £100 (less for 3100) and fit it yourself it is very simple. Just two link cables for speakers and power plus install dashboard unit and microphone.

Vapor, I use a Qtek 2020 (Himalaya) with a wired GPS and a Midland BT Intercom. I get the sound from the phone, no problem, but I cannot receive any sound from the Tom Tom Navigator 5. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Javiersen
well I am not too sure about the other set ups but what i did to my universal was to disable the voice command from launching when i pressed the button on my headset. there's a reg hack for it somewhere on this forum about it.
once the buttonn is pressed, it opens the audio gateway (though in mono) between my phone and the headset and every sound from the phone (including the clicks) gets played to the headset.
Hi,
I have a sony bluetooth handsfree car kit (HCB-30) installed in my car, my UK Voda 1605 works fine with it. I was thinking of getting Tom Tom 6 and a bluetooth GPS reciever as well.
What I want to know is will I still be able to receive calls through the blutooth car kit while using Tom Tom and the bluetooth GPS receiver to navigate.
Thanks for any advice.
yes you can.
I do the same with my stereo headset or standard mono BT headset with a GlobalSat GPS and TT6
Enjoy
Hi, Can anyone tell me how to get TomTom to issue route instructions through the HTC wired headset rather than the phone speaker? It would be really usefull to just have the instruction and not have to worry about looking at the maps.
try the latest version of tomtom nav, you want to find TT7_910_9185_vga black.cab I installed this last week and voices now come through my a2dp bluetooth car stereo which they never did on earlier versions of navigator7
Thanks for the info but I have never managed to get mine to work with the Motorola car kit I have in my car. It says it connects and the buttons work the stop start of the music but I get no sound. Any ideas as this would be better than the wired head phone. By the way I used the blue version. what is the difference between this and black?
I've been using TT7_910_9185_vga black.cab and when I plugged in my headpsones the instructions came straight out of them.
No idea about your car kit but TT navigation works fine over BT headsets. Just enable both wireless stereo and hands free profiles on your HD.
I once did get wired TT audio on my Wizard but that was ages ago and I cannot remember how. Besides BT is the way to go.
Tried both TT versions mentioned, UI colour is the only difference.
make sure your BT device is connected before starting tomtom, i noticed mine coming thru phone instead of car stereo speakers yesterday and I had started tomtom in the office before leaving to check it new the address i was going to, hence the instructions came out of the phone and not my BT device.
I have an Omnia II, and i run TomTom on it.
i want to purchase a carkit, but i want the voice directions to be played via the carkit on the speakers of my car. And when the spoken direction is finished, to switch back to whatever was playing (on my CAR stereo that is)
so i don't want to stream EVERYTHING of my phone... the music must be played on my car stereo, but when tomtom wants to speak, it should do that on the car speakers.
how can i get this to work, whick carkit do i need?
(i was looking at the Parrot Carkit MKi9100)
