XDA EXEC - connecting a Polstar PBT-111 bluetooth GPS device

Hi
Does anyone have any idea how to connect a blutooth GPS device to an XDA EXEC running tomtom5? I can connect easily using the genuine tomtom bluetooth receiver however no such joy using any other type bluetooth receiver.
I have been able to pair both the PBT-111 and another bluetooth receiver, but I am only allowed to connect to comm ports 4 or 8 in the connection manager. These selections are not available when I go to the 'configure' option for the receiver within tomtom
Any ideas most welcome

Hi Mick did you have any joy with your connection to the xda exec.

bt and tomtom
if you install bt reciever in tt5,go to other wired recievers and choose the right port number. then it should work.
succes

This helped me when I set mine up.

Parrot CK3300 GPS CAR KIT - Any experience?

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?

Anybody have Bluetooth on Artemis working with BMW E39 5-series?

I have a 2001 BMW E39 M5 in which I have retrofitted a Bluetooth module.
It worked fine with my O2 XDA Exec (and with my wife's Nokia 6310i), but I cannot get it to work with my new O2 XDA Orbit or my previous Vario II (HTC Hermes).
I have no problem pairing the phone, but when I ask the car to "Dial Name" or "Dial Number", it just says "Dialling" and nothing happens on the phone. Incoming calls are not picked up by the car either.
Anybody got an Artemis or Hermes to work in an E39?

XDA Orbit (WM6) to Mondeo via Bluetooth

Hi,
I am trying to get my XDA Orbit to connect to my new Mondeo via the Bluetooth facility supplied with the car. The phone can see the car OK showing up "Ford Audio" and connecting to it, but the car can't see the phone.
I have seen postings suggesting there is an error with the Bluetooth stack on the WM6 version, but how do I get round this? Mind you, I have never used the XDA with a handsfree kit before so is there some sort of setting I need for a handsfree I don't know about?
Any help gratefully accepted.
Thanks
Jon
p.s. This is an official O2 WM6 version CE OS 5.2.1238 Build 17745.0.2.3

Normally, with a headset, you cannot 'seek' the phone (no screen). You have to put the headset in 'discoverymodus' and then look for it on the pda. A headset has a solid pairkey, usually 0000.
When you have a advanced system as you mention in your Car, there perhaps also is a possibility to look for the ppc on the system of the car. If this is the case, you have to put your ppc in 'discoverymodus'. To do this, go to settings, tab connections, bluetooth, 2nd tab 'mode' and select both checkboxes. press ok.
Then look for it in the cars system.

Thanks, it is now working
Thanks for the tip, I tried this then found the info in a thread for another handset (Hermes) here:

The problem/challenge was part XDA, part Ford. Where else apart from XDA Developers would you get an answer !

TomTom Insatallation

Hi,
I was wondering whether TomTom software for a Nokia would work on an XDA IIs?
And does the XDA IIs have a gps reciever in built?
Kind Regards
Sportyfr

nokia tomtom software wont work on xda IIs, different Operating system and no the xdaIIs does not have gps built in you need a seperate gps receiver

The BA is very capable of running TTN6 if accompanied with an external GPS receiver - Bluetooth is best although cabled versions of the GPS are available, should you decide to use a cabled solution please remember to disbale the "Receive all incomming beams" from the IRdA settings as this releases the comm port for correct communications - Mike
