Hi,
I had my orange SPV M700 for a while now, and i been usning tomtom navigator on it! For Christmas I got a bluetooth car stereo, and it routes all my calls etc through it and i can voice dial through it too. I just wondered if there was anyway that I could set up my phone so the tomtom announcements would turn my stereo off and i'd hear the directions.
I know I'm Optimistic but it's worth a go and it would be awesome if i got it working!
Many Thanks
dom
any luck yet? i am looking for the same, or using the BT connection for incoming calls, while listening to a radiostation and tomtom voice through phonespeaker, so i can listen to the music and hear the directions at the same time.

I've noticed, that there are several threads about the Bluetooth communication of the magician. Therefor this one will be one of them.
I'm using TomTom Navigator 5 with Bluetooth GPS on my device. Also i have a bluetooth Handsfree kit from THB mounted in my car. Now, allt that i want is to here the output of the tomtom via my handsfree kit. But it didn't work. All sound is coming of the built in speaker.
If I get al call, the handsfree is working fine. So this is not a problem..... :-(
Anyone got a similar constelation and got a solution for me. I've already contacted TomTom and THB, and both told me to contact the manufactor of the magician. So i think that is a Bluetooth stck problem. I'm still using the default Bluetoot stack of the magician. Will any other help me to find a solution?
Th ROM I'm using is a german 1.12......

I´ve got the same solution (allmost) AS YOU - BUT THINK ABOUT IT....if the TT-voice came trough your bluetooth set, all the calls would be interupted every time you made a call, while driving with voicenavigation....so it has to be seperated in a loudspeaker and through your bluetooth solution headset etc....

For me that would be no problem, cause i have a fixed telephone in my car, that i can use for phone calls. ;-)
But the sound of the magician speaker is very low.
I´m loving loud music in my car, and then i won´t hear any instructions out of the Magician speaker.....

Okay!
But then you have to go to an mobilephone technician who can fix it so that your PDA can connect to the carstereo with af muting device ----- you get the music and it mutes when the navigationvoice comes on.
I know that it can be done, but it cost bucks....or Euros!
Or buy another bluetooth driver that supports MP3 se www.handago.com
then you can get the navigation and musik in the headset!
Hi all,
Just a quick (and probably stupid) question. I have the O2 mini and find the loudspeaker rather poor. When using the GPS it is often hard to hear the instructions. Is it possible to send the audio to a bluetooth headset, or even a bluetooth car kit.
I am new to all this so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Adam
Adam,
if you are connecting the GPS via BT, it is not possible in the first place to connect a second device in parallel. Unfortunately you can have just one BT connection at a time.
Even with a cable connected GPS it won't work, because it is not possible to use the BT handset as a audio device.
So, no, what you are trying to do is most probable not possible. I am doing it like that, that I use a BT GPS receiver and a cable headset if I do not understand the voices correctly. This way, you get the instructions and you can even make a call without using the loudspeaker.

Thanks for the advice marco. Much appreciated. Will just have to stick with the cable headset.
Bluetooth and GPS and Headset can work
Have to disagree with Marco99. I use a Navman 4420 Bluetooth GPS unit and an O2 Bluetooth headset with my I-mate PDA2K (1.40 ROM 1.12 Radio). I use Destinator Software (The Navman SmartST is better at finding the optimum route, but it is buggy and always seems to need upgrading to use the latest ROM).
Anyway, I frequently have both devices paired.
Last weekend coming back from SA to Vic I had the Destinator humming along, and a phone call comes in. The phone screen pops up and I answer the phone using the headset button. I minimise the phone screen, and the Destinator screen re-emerges, still tracking nicely along the Glenelg Highway. You lose the Destinator voice prompts during the phone call, but not the GPS signals, nor the visual prompts.
After hanging up, again using the headset button, the Destinator voice prompts start again and away you go.
I have the HQ audio patch and a HP BT Headset. I must try that sometime with the Destinator. However, I do agree that you can't listen to the navigation software through the headset and answer the phone, only one audio connection can be made via Bluetooth.
Now, if they can fix the "Line of Sight only" B/T headset bug...
Can do BT GPS + Headset at the same time
Just to confirm, I have had my Tomtom v5 Bluetooth GPS & my cheap-n-cheerful "Abe" Bluetooth headset working concurrently. Tomtom mutes when the phone receives/makes a call, but otherwise all is working together 100%, you can make & receive phone calls OK.
Can also confirm this works with non-Tomtom BT GPS (Globalsat model).

Just to ensure:
You didn't get the voice commands out of tomtom in your bluetooth headset, or?
Stefan
Tomtom5 & BT headset
No Stefan, Tomtom displays a "Mute" icon, so no sounds come from it. Only the voice call is transmitted to the headset

I have to agree with camstech! I was not aware that this really is working, did not believe it and just tried it. And it works exactly as described. So, one new thing learned. As the protocol does not explain the behavior, it looks like the (otherwise crappy) bluetooth stack is quite inteligent here, and switches between different devices, so it looks both work in parallel. So, during my next roadtrip I can bring along my BT headset!
Anyway, unfortunately that does not solve your problem, Adam, as it is not possible to redirect the Navigation voice to your bluetooth headset, as long as the device (BT stack) does not support the appropriate BT profile.

EDIT: just checked the wikipedia entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth. I must have dreamt about the single point connection with BT. Looks like a BT net (called piconet) can contain up to 8 devices, where one is working as master with up to 7 slaves. The details can be found in wikipedia. Maybe there is just connection per profile but I dont know for sure. Maybe there is a bluetooth expert here in the forum that could enlighten us. And possibly maybe, this is way to technical and all of you guys fall asleep during the first pragraph of my posting anyway ...
Try yourselves?! Maybe this happens only with use of a headset.

Works OK for me
I was amazed. I started TT up and tested this specifically as I travel long journeys and need TT and my phone during the journey.
I have a Jabra BT250v paired with my XDA and TT5 is running v5.21
I just voice dial a call and hang up after. The TT sounds are muted during the call (and the TT display shows this). When the call is complete, the TT sounds are unmuted and work as normal.
I didn't do anything unusual.
What are you noticing ?
How do you listen to ur travel instructions?
Do you use the built in loud speaker or have you got a special attachment or via the handsfree headset? Please advise. If through the loudspeaker, how loud is it? I hope to buy it this week if I can find it in stock!!!
Dear All,
I'm pretty new to this forum and to the Wizard as well.
I'm using Navigon Navigator 5.2 on my T-Mobile Vario which works quite well. I do have one issue, well more an incovenience, while using the headset.
When Navigon is active and I accept a call with my bluetooth headset all system sounds, including Paula2 the nice navi lady, is muted. The phone call itself is diverted to the headset.
That make sense as I don't want to have Paula2 on my headset but I would like to have her on the speaker.
Is there any way to have phone calls served by the headset and system sounds, including program sounds, played on the speaker?
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers,
Thorsten
Having a question, how do you guys use your phone (incomming and outgoing calls) AND TomTom6 at the same time? I mean, when you are in TT6 and my phone rings, TT6 'minimizes/goes to background' during the phone conversation. After ending my phone call, TT6 again appears. Is it possible to still get the route suggestions with the TT6 voices while making phone calls? And is it also possible to have a separate screen in the HTC 9000 so you can see AND TT6 AND your Phone? (I make most calls handsfree in the car so this would be great!).
Also, is it possible to have the HTC 9000 connect to my Pioneer radio/cd player to get TomTom over my car speakers?
no ideas anyone?
really really no clues?
That's strange.
Mine is minimizing when the call is incoming but appears again in mute mode when I answer. I'm also using phonealarm car profile to automatically enable speaker.
But I do no think you can have voth displays.
My suggestion would be to map a hardware button to switch task.

Firstly, I do not have a Navigator6 device but do intend to get one. Therefore, I cannot answer the following:

As far as the following is concerned:
And is it also possible to have a separate screen in the HTC 9000 so you can see AND TT6 AND your Phone? (I make most calls handsfree in the car so this would be great!).
No, because no HTC device support multi-monitors and split-screens.
And finally:
Also, is it possible to have the HTC 9000 connect to my Pioneer radio/cd player to get TomTom over my car speakers?
Yes, this is possible. You can use the S/PDIF jack and hook it up to the amplifier of your car (yes, you will need an amplifier for you car's audio system to do this). ANother way is the wireless-but-low-quality-audio way which involves using a Bluetooth headset hooked up again to your car's amplifier.

Which version of TomTom are you running (the build number) and have you installed the TomTom BT drivers?
I use TT 6.030. Don t know what BT drivers are............
I use TT6.
After phone rings (i asume u using bluetoth hands free)other ways how d you look at the screen., i pres button on my hands free, and screen stase on TT.
When i left my BT at home, i pres unswer, and then loud speeker, and then tiny TT icon at the bottom of the screen, and it pops up. after hanging the call TT stays .
It also works with my IGo 2006.
When I use TT6 with my MDA Pro with a bluetooth headset and I answer a call the bluetooth connection to the gps temporarily drops then reinstates however after the call is hung up the gps signal to tomtom seems to delay by around 30 secs/
does anyone else experience this and do they have a remedy.
