Hi, new member so be gentle... :lol:
I've just got my XDA2S and installed tomtom, tried to connect it through a cradle bought from pdamods which clearly states tomtom on it, also a wired receiver, unfortunately the tomtom cant see the receiver. Am I doing something wrong here?
The receiver works ok as I have a HP4150 with tomtom on that recognises it and can do its usual nav stuff without any issues.
Tips/Help much appreciated.

Hi Guys,
Just changed to the XDA2s from the XDA2, and i've got real problems getting my TomTom GPS to work. All set up fine on the standard 2, but it just won't work with the XDA2s. Does anyone know how to get it linked!!
Cheers

I don't know if this'll help so sorry if this isn't relevant, but I'm using a Navman GPS with the Tom Tom software, which although is different hardware does work ok.
I just have mine set to: "TomTom Wireless GPS" and in the second box "Bluetooth Serial Port 6". The first time you try to connect it asks which Bluetooth device to link com 6 to and after that I work just fine.
Hope that helps somehow!
Cheers, that worked perfectly!
HELLO,GUYS
JUST INSTALL THE TOMTOM NAVIGATOR ON MY DEVICE--XDA lls
GOT A CRACK MAP FILE AND THEN ACTIVED IT.
HOWEVER WHEN I RUN IT,THE ''GPS DISABLED''
I CAN NOT TRACK MY CURRENT LOCATION!
HOW CAN I FIX IT UP?
THANKS
DO I NEED A EXTRA GPS RECEIVER?
I THOUGHT THE XDA lls ALREADY GOT A ONE, ISN'T IT?
Nope, you'll need an external GPS receiver
Maybe you mistook GPRS for GPS ?
and : NO NEED TO SHOUT !
hi,thanks
OK! forget the tomtom
if I just wanna a tool to help me track where I am normal when I am a tourist.

You have the right program, you are lacking hardware, namely a gps receiver.
cheers.

The cheapest place that I found is on ebay www.ebay.co.uk

Having trouble with my installation of tom tom 3. I have paired and connected successfully numerous hands free kits to my spv M2000 and all work fine until I install Tom tom 3. After the installation I can no longer connect to any of the handsfree kits. I am remove them and pair them again but the connection fails after they are paired. This happens before I install my Bluetooth GPS receiver.
Tom tom works fine as does the GPS.
I have spoke to Tom tom who say that the software locks down the Com port (6). and that my handsfree kit may use the same port. Is there any way of setting the com port used by your handsfree kit? Or if anyone has any other suggestions
cheers

When I start tomtom, I ALWAYS lose the hands-free bluetooth connection. I simply switch off my Bluetooth earpiece & turn it back on again. It connects fine and works OK (well as good a BT gets on these devices).
You could try reconnecting to your car kit after tomtom has initialised. Simply press the today button and the use the BT manager to reconnect.
For this reason, I have reassigned a button to tomtom so that I can quickly switch back to it after connecting back to my headset
I use a simple O2 Bluetooth headset, not a full car-kit
Thanks, but I can't even start bluetooth handsfree once tom tom is installed. I have tried your method but still no joy in connecting. any other ideas??
nah, sorry; I can only say what works for me. But then again somebody more knowledgeable might be able to help, I'm a newbie myself
You need to reinstall the Bluetooth stack AFTER you have installed TT3 as TT3 overwrites 2 files to old (2003) ones (BtCoreIf.dll & BtSdkCE30.dll)
You can find the BT stack in the WiKi
Good luck!
thanks i'll give it a go and reort back
What a a star !!!! worked like a treat. thanks dutch
I've exactly the same problem.
Noob on the site - I've searched wiki but cannot find the BT stack as mentioned. Any chance of posting a link with instructions on how to update?

Thankz Dutch
Followed the instructions when I got home this-afternoon - spot on - my BT earpiece is up and running again.
PS Just need a "hack" so the tomtom navigator instructions come through the BT earpiece now!
Thanks again

Has this got anything to do with the message when starting TT3 "Cannot open com1 port does not exist"? I have had TT3 installed before no problem, but after unlocking XDA2 I cannot get the TT3 software to work due to this error message.
@chicago: try this version of wavedev.dll: http://www.thb-service.de/download/MDAIII/Wavedev.dll
@geoff247: you need to uncheck our IR incoming beam in Settings-Connections-Beam
Grtz,
DUTCH
"com1 does not exist" message disappeared with one click of "uncheck incoming IR beams" amazing! Thanks Dutch, TT3 works again!
Geoff
silly question, but where do you put the wavedev.dll ??
:?:

Has anyone seen some competitive navigation software such as PocketMap Navigator USA (www.pocketmap.com) and OnCourse Navigator 4 (www.oncoursenavigator.com)? Until TomTom 5 comes out, 2004 is a step down and version 3 is just too slow and buggy.
@onmartin
In the windows directory - there is already a wavedev.dll file there which is hidden.
thanks dutch, but when I go to copy it I get access denied message. Tried a restart then copy but same happens. it says to check the file is not in use or write protected. it's not in use but I can't see it to see properties of file( i have set it to display all files) any ideas?
onmartin :?
Did you try this using ActiveSync (so on your desktop PC?)
Dutch, you are a genius!! thanks again

I am interested in this http://www.parrot.biz/united_kingdom/products/index.php?id=ck3300 Does anybody have any experience using this device, how well does it work etc. ?
I plan on using it with O2 Mini S and possibly Tom Tom software what do you guys think?
I have a CK3300 and the similar CK3100 (no GPS) in my wife's car.
They work superbly with Sony Ericsson phones, less well with Motorolas and Nokias but a bit of a disaster with the XDA Mini-S. Doesn't auto connect, doesn't synch contacts properly, overwrites voice tags. There's a bunch of posts on the subject in the Parrot forum on their website. Rumours that there will be a software upgrade shortly which will address some issues.
I haven't got around to trying the GPS with TomTom on the XDA (as I can't get it to install!) but it worked fine with my previous PPC (an iPaq RX3715)

I have a CK3300 not had to meany problems on the GPS side but my xda 2s and my axd mini would not work with the handsfree bit.
My xda exec works fine on GPs and handsfree.
Very good bit of kit overall
Beside experience, I have a question to post here.
I have Parrot СК3300 for 2 years. As handsfree kit, it works perfectly with Sonyericsson K750i, 700i, Z800, P900. With Sonyericsson P900, it works perfectly as hands free kit and GPS module simultaneously.
However, after connecting my QTEK2020i (1.11.00 WWE, Radio 1.02.00, ExtROM 1.11.113 WWE dd 27of Jan 2005) I can use Parrot as GPS module only. Any attempts to use Parrot as kar kit leads only to loud clicks from speakers. So just for now, I use Parrot as hands-free for Sonyericsson K700i and as GPS module with QTEK simultaneously.
No way to fix it. I delete all Bluetooth devices, soft reset, ad only Parrot as hands-free, soft reset. No result.
Can you suggest me how to fix it.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I have a CK 3000 intsalled with Tom Tom and a third party BT GPS mouse. The Parrot works very well but it has to be paired as a Hands-free set and not as a headset. One small bug, though: I have to start TT first for the GPS to connect when getting back into the vehicle. After that I start the engine, which connects the CK3000 to my MDA II. If the CK is connected first, TT can't find the mouse.
I've been looking for a way to get the audio to be put through the the CK. I once found a piece of software that could do that on this site but inspite of hours of searching, I haven't been able to find it again. - HELP!
parrot car kit
I have a parrot CK3500 GPS car kit and it works well with TomTom Mobile 5 on my SPV E200 ,C500, C550 and has worked with TomTom Navigator 5 my M2000 as well. This is for Voice AND GPS simultaneously.
with earlier versions of TOMTOM i needed to rename the bluetooth connection from Parrot to TomTom Wireless GPS.
I have an XDA Mini S too which is on a data only tariff (so havent tried handsfree) but TomTom 5 works with it for GPS. They seem a little fiddly to set up, but once set up they are great.
I found i needed to use "AnyGPS Tweak" on all the smartphones to get it to connect initially
I had a CK3300 in another car and that worked exactly the same.
The only criticism is that the GPS voice instructions dont go through the speakers. However sometimes they do, and it seems to be if you start TomTom before you switch on the car ignition, the car kit thinks a call is in progress and relays the GPS through the speakers. It doesnt always work, but sometimes its a bit of a shock to get Jane bellowing through the speaker!!
The downside is that if you take a voice call over the car kit, it seems to re-set and the GPS voice then reverts back to the phone speaker.
I have emailed Parrot about this and have not had a reply as yet.

Thanks for your reply.
As far as I understand, I can't solve problem with incoming - outcoming telephone calls by some "secret' QTEK settings.
Therefore, I'll try to find "Any Bluetooth Tweak" program to fix it.
Can you suggest any "Tweak" software?
Hi,
Thinking about getting a TYTN and never had GPS navigation before so a bit of a noob. Whats the best kit to get, I would need the software and a GPS reciever so whats best to get.
I have found this - http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php?xProd=142&xSec=8
Or is a bluetooth GPS receiver better? - http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php?xProd=154&xSec=8
If its agains the rules to link to those websites I will delete them.
If you get the TomTom software then get the TomTom receiver as well because it will work right out of the box. Setting up non-TomTom satellite receivers in TomTom is a real pain in the backside.
I had absolutely no problems setting up TomTom with Holux GPSlim236.
Just pair the gpsreceiver with the phone and assing it a com port,
then select the correct port in TomTom. Works like a charm.
TomTom will even enable blutooth by itself.
Holux GPSlim 236
Also using the Holux without any problems. Small device with good battery lifetime and fast fix. Buy a small GPS so you don't have to leave it in your car. Thieves like them now everyone is taking his mobile out and radios tend to be build in by the car manufacturer.
Also take a look at i-Go software instead of TomTom. More maps available for East Europe and many nice features. Very fast on a TyTN! Can be installed from SD card.
Or look out for the SD version of TT5. It's always handy to be able to install a fresh version from the SD card after a PDA crash when there is no PC near. All other versions need Activesync to install, which you probably won't habe able to do on a holiday trip!
