I upgraded my SPV last night with new radio and Mobile V6 Black 2.5.
Now my TomTom One V4 wont connect to it via the bluetooth???
I thought about downgrading back to old radio and Mobile 5, but want to know if theres something simple im missing or is a downgrade my only option.
Double check that it has the correct com port set .....after updating my
M3100 to WM6 i had to play around with the ports to get it to connect to me Holux slim GPS reviever
You dont have the choice on com ports, i have added the TomTom to devices on the SPV but when i try to get the TomTom to pair with the phone it comes back saying "The Required Features Could Not Be Found On This Phone"
Bare in mind this is not a GPS reciever im trying to pair with, its an actual TomTom standalone SatNav.

Hi there!
I've recently got a M500 and I have a cellink BTG-7000 Bluetooth GPS Reciever.
I can pair the M500 & Reciever but when I go into the Tom Tom Navigator it does not find the Reciever when I go to Preferences. (there are com ports there but no matter what port I select it doesnt find it)
Any ideas why?
Hi,
I had simular probs. after pairing with another BT device. Just paired with the GPS & all was fine, so
- make sure the GPS is the last paired device
- create a com port for the GPS
- try upgrading radio
- get another BT stack
I'm having the stack from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33532 but can't say it solved it or not. But it works & I can use the BT GPS & a BT earpiece at the same time.
Good luck, M
How do I create a com port for the GPS? I dont seem to have that option.
My BT stack asks me whether to create a com port for it when I pair with my GPS. Also under the BT connection settings I've got a tab which read 'COM ports'.
Cheers, M
Mine doesn't have any of these options, strange?!
I guess thats the problem, it seems my M500 doesnt let you manually assign a port.
Any ideas on a fix then?
I am on radio 1.12 & got those options from radio 1.11 on. You can try the updated BT stack from the thread 'O2 mini new BT stock'
Maybe that helP as well, otherwise upgrade your radio.
Cheers, M
Take the wired gps, baudrate 9600 en after that test some comports. It takes a while when TT detects the receiver, so hold on a bit. Most of the time it is comport 4 or 5.
what version are you using, i had similar problems,
I found that if you install version 5.1 or 5.2 straight on then it will not find the gps.
i installed the original 5.0 from cd. then got GPS working. TomTom may ask you to reset the device to configure gps [it did for me].
i then upgraded to 5.1 then 5.2 and everything works perfectly.

I initially had the same problem with my BT GPS device and tomtom 5.0, but pairing them just before loading up tomtom and setting it to COM 5 and then waiting a while seemed to solve it!
Good luck!
Got-it!
Duh!
I must have missed something here, so I'm posting this for the few people who are thicker than I must be;-
When setting the BT com port under 'Bluetooth settings', the outgoing com port selection window is blank.
HOWEVER, choose 'settings>system>bluetooth setting' and voila!, that is where you see that COM5 is pre-chosen. (Why there needs to be a double-entry is another matter?)
Hope this saves someone some time.
When setting up my COM port for my BT GPS my Vario only has PORTS 6,7
No matter which port i choose doesnt matter because in my tomtom it only has COM 0,2,3,9
I downloaded some software to give me extra ports but i was no help in my situation it only gave me PORT 5-8.
It is good software.

How can i link my bluetooth GPS with my tomtom without matching ports??
tomtom 5.12 works ok.... had the same problem with the older version
open \program files\navigator\navigator.cfg with a text editor and change the number after com to 6 or 7 (which ever you used in bt settings). Page is mostly garble but you'll see comx with x as the port currently set in tomtom. You can copy file to pc and open with wordpad. edit and copy back.
worked for me.
I use my Vario on ports 6 and 7 with 5.21 version upgrade
MDA vario
Do Varios Only have PORT 6 and 7??
I have a T-Mobile Vario and an O2 mini S.
I setup a new outgoing port for port 7 for the BT device (in the BT settings), but when I tried to setup the BT device in TT it did not show an option in the configure menu for the BT device of either 6 or 7.
As soon as I upgraded to TT V5.2 it showed the com port 7 setting available.
So I think you need to upgrade to TT V5.2.
Yes, try the latest update from tomtom.com which is available for free and install it.
here is the page:

Now ive just got to find a good signal with this bluetooth box Ive got the Gellink one any comments?
I had a mouse from them and it just broke today. What is a good INEXPENSIVE GPS box?
Now im going to be laughing at my girl friend when she wants to use my phone for the SAT NAV. (im going to say NOPE)
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
ROger
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.
hi guys
need a little help please
i cant get my gps working on my O2 mini s. ive got tt5 and it works but no gps via bluetooth.
i can get it to work on my xda ii and on a ipaq h4100 but i have now sold them........
i just cant get it to pick up the gps!......i have added the bt-gps to the partnership group and added it as com6 (as i did on the other two) but i cant see com6 in the tt configure list. also i am unable to pair the gps as this option isnt available on the mini s.....
any help would be most appreciated.......im going bold
regards
jav
ive tried using the software that reconfigured the coms port in the register but that still hasn’t work.
software i used was GPSCOM, downloaded from here......
any ideas? has anyone got tt5 working on the mini s? am in posting in the right area?
Which version TTN5.0 or TTN5.21?
You will not get BT working with 5.0 without file swapping.
You need 5.21 minimum to configure GPS on a WM5 device. But be aware "older" maps may not run on 5.21.
Run the Update then shut down your device with the main power button. Reboot then configure the BT port in BT Settings.
Start TomTom then configure as "other bluetooth GPS" in GPS Status.
thanks for the reply
ive got v5.0 so will try this update.

Sup,
I bought a Qtek 9000 and it came with a Holux GPSlim 240 Bluetooth GPS Receiver. It only came with the receiver and nothing else (no manual, no cd, nothing). So now I have no clue on how to use it. I went to the Holux website and downloaded the manual but its no help. None of what they're showing in the settings are what I have. It looks like the manual is for WM2003, but I'm running WM5.
The phone came pre-installed with Garmin Que and GPSProxy. I have no clue how to use any of these programs. When I load GPSProxy and try to add a new virtual COM port, I get an error saying "Failed to load driver for new virtual COM port. There may not be a free COM port number.".
So if any of you know how to set this stuff up, tell me how.
Thanks all.
gps
hello
with what gps software are you tryuing to use the receiver?
most of the time u have to connect it through bt at first
after that u can create a outgoing port ( i noticed that the first 5 dont work) , i used com port 7
after that u open the settings for gps in the program that you would us en set the settings for the holux receiver as you can find in the manual.
That should do it
greetzzz
Mr grey
the software that is already on the phone is Garmin QUE and GPSProxy
i connected the reciever through bt on my phone and enabled the serial thing
i went to the bluetooth settings and made the outgoing port for it, making it COM 8.
after that, i dont know what to do...
the manual that i got online doesnt help
got any ideas?
thanks
hello
normally now you must configure the settings in the gps soft of garmin.
for that u need a manual of the software, probably on h$$p://www.garmin.com
greetzzz
sup, I did what you told me in your last post and it worked. however, only on live search and google maps. I will look into the garmin website for the garmin program. thanks for your help!
