Guys
I am still percivering with a good old XDA11i and am trying desparately to get Tom tom to run with a bt gps .
No matter what I seem to do TT says that there is no gps device ( ie I have not paired the two properly !)
Ive done exactly what it says on the tin , but no joy .
Any tips .
Ive paired the two , Ive got beam off , the two seem to be communicating ( based on the multiple flashing patten of the BT GPS compared to when just switched on / or in stand by.
Any body else have any problems like this ?

Tom Tom 5 and XDA 2
I recently upgraded from TT3 to TT5, the only real problem I get is the phone ringer and caller display does not ring or display propperly.
My Jabra BT250 is slow in responding and answering when the button is pressed.
One other bugbare is not being able to see the Start Menu Bar when running TT5 as unable to see if you have a phone signal or received a text or missed a call.
Any help on these matters would be greatly apprecieated.
Thanks

It seem's every xda has different problem's , when my phone ring's it do's take a second to ring in the BT headset and about another second when the button is pressed to answer the call , and i get a balloon come up to say who is calling but i think that is part of Fonix voice dial. Icannot see away round including the start menu while running tt5 or 3 , so does tom tom freeze when you get a call or change phone arials??, sorry i could'nt be any more help

I have been using TT3 extensively past year and recently upgraded to TT5.
No real issues.
THE issue with TT3 was that when my BT GPS was out of reach and i started TT3, it almost locked up my whole device (had to soft-reset). I found out is has something to do with my BT GPS. Aparantly WM2003SE does not have this issue.
next to this, I noticed frequent freezes IF I had actoivated POI. Tested this with several (also Toshiba and Panasonic made) SD Cards.
With TT5 these problems are gone.
The only thing I noticed when using TT5 is when I try to start a phne call the display is not properly build up: all except the numbered buttons are there.
No freezes whatsoever here anymore.
All in all still an improvement.
Tom tom 5 icm socket/emtac gps
I upgraded to ttn5 but cant get my gps to fix
emtac BT gps
in Bt menu my pairing is ok, but when I select a ' other BT gps ' it doesnt recognise it.
The options are BT on com 6 (but I dont have a com6)
or com9 or com2
any Ideas how to activate those com ports ?
Thanx

@pleun: Where do we find this patch (searched for it but no results) and what does it do?
Advice
I'm considering buying TT5 but am a bit concerned about all the problems people are having. I noticed on tomtom's website it is compatible with the XDA 2. Would it be best to buy this package as it all comes complete on an SD card tomtom have tested, or, go for TT3 - people are selling these on ebay really cheap??
TT5 and XDA2
I am running TT5 with the GB Plus map on the XDA2 without any problems.
You must use a BT or serial GPS connection. Get a good mount which has a RJ11 connector for the TT serial GPS or use a Y cable for something like the HAICOM PS2.
XDA2 512 SD
SIN MERGED
RADIO 1.8
WM2003SE
it makes com 5 visible to tomtom.
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.
Hiya,
I think the subject line says it all...
I've got my good 'ol Tomtom navigator 5 running on my Vario just fine.
I cannot get it to connect to my GPS unit ( Emtac CruxII BTGPS ((Sirf))
I had this all working on my iPaq, although I always had to force the GPS onto NMEA using GPStweak. I could live with that...
I've paired succesfully, it shows port 6. ( unsecured )
Sirftweak & TomTom only show ports 0, 1, 2, 3, 4(ir),& 9
No matter what I do I can't connect.
I tried an " interesting " version of iGO and it connected straight away, I would have been very happy with that if I only wanted to navigate anywhere outside the UK. ( The Great Britain map just won't work )
Come on Guys, help or I will destroy the Known Universe ( I'm pissed off )
Cheers
The Mighty Tharg - Bringer of flatulance - God of noisey plumbing during the early hours etc..
OK, Update...
Updated to TT5.2 and com 6 appeared.. Hooray!
No way to switch over Emtac CruxII to NMEA.. Boo!
I used my 'ol iPAQ and sirftweak to do the change over and it all works..
Now the next problem, the btgps defaults to SiRF after a while.
Sirftweak and cruxview run on the Vario, but can't see port 6.
Does anyone know of a way to do this on the Vario, it seems silly to carry the iPaq about at the same time!
Maybe a command to send via a terminal prog or something????
I know, buy a new NMEA gps.. but where is the fun in that
Someone must have got around this one.
Someone........?????
Please.......
...
Got it working at last..
I downloaded cruxview ( I had been using the version from my iPAQ )
again, it has exactly the same version number but the new one can see port 6!
Yay!
Hi all,
Just upgraded myself from a Wizard to a Hermes and am mostly happy, I used the crack program to unlock it from T Mobile and upgraded it to WM 6.0.
Mostly it is great, I just have two problems at the moment,
1. I am able to pair any bluetooth device, but when I try and talk with my BT headset ( WEP200) all I get is white noise, it worked fine with the Wizard.
2. I have paired my GPS unit ( also worked OK before) but I do not know how to make it recognizable by the software ( i-go) I have tried using the 'External GPS' feature but nothing, any help would be great.
THanks
same problem for
i try with 2 different bt headset
any idea to fix?
