This has been frustrating for me.
Been playing arround for hours to get TOM TOM 3 working with my Xda2's.
Can't seem to get the Bluetooth GPS Recevier to work properly.
I have paired the device.
I can see the GPS OUTPUT service however there is nothing incoming on both fronts.
Am i missing something or can any1 help.
Have you installed the 3.07 update from Tomtom?
Apparently this is required to get it to run properly on the XDAIIs
I wouldnt know yet as I'm still using an old Ipaq - waiting till I get paid before I buy a gps mount and use that with my new Xda
You can try so: launch navigator 3; go to GPS (clicking between Status and Log); on top you must see: TomTom Wireless GPS and Bluetooth Serial Port COM6, and the little square signed. So, the two devices would be connected.
A fix
Thanks for the last comment. It seems like it works with the COM6 port.
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

help me
I have a Imate Jas-Jar windows mobile 2005. A new version of GPS Nav-N-Go was released for WM 2005 I installed it and it doesn't work! It doesn't recognize my GPS on the Parrot CK3300.
I talked with the Nav-N-Go developers and they told me that the Nav-N-Go works with 9 GPS antenna's. It seems to me that the problem is in the definition of a communication "COM port".
Please help me to solve this problem. Is there a way to define a "COM port" for GPS in the CK3300

JasJar & TomTom5 using a Parrot 3300 for GPS & Phone
I also have a Jas Jar badged as an Orange SPVM5000 and have similar problems. I am not a techie by any meands but I do not think the problem is with the Parrot 3300.
The Bluetooth pairing connects Parrot and Phone.
Setting the com port is identifying where the incoming gps signal is made of available on the phone.
TomTom5 is the sat nav software I use and it seems only to work by connecting to certain com ports. Unfortunatley, the phone does not like assigning the connection to this port.
Elsewhere on this site there are instructions which allowed me to pair the phone with another GPS BT reciever I use when out and about.
The same procedure will not work with pasiring the parrot.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can pair with the Parrot to get the phone and gps working?
You may find some answers here -- worth a try, anyway.

Hi I have a mda compctII, I also have tomtom navigator 5. I am having problems setting up me I-blue gps reciever. I can get everything running and the test program supplied with the gpr reciever connects to the device and shows gps location. But... when I go to run tomtom I cannot get it to recognise the device. It is set up on bluetooth serial port 6 but tomtom does not have this selection availible... and Ideas?
I have no experience pairing a 3rd part BT GPS receiver since I use the original TomTom. I think what you need is to first install BT_COM_PORT.CAB (attached) so that you could select on which COM port to use.
Try upgrading TT to the latest version (5.21) too.
Good luck.
one step closer... in blutooth selection I am given the option for all the com ports... but it will only allow me to select com 6. This option is not shown in tomtom just com:0,2,3 and 9.
Sorry mate, I think I couldn't be of any further help since I have no experience with the I-Blue. If my memory serves me right, I think I saw some posts about the I-Blue in Howard Forum.
I can't get the Rikaline 6033 to work with my O2 Xda Exec. It seams like the devices wont pair. Is this a knowen issue?
I got the GPS working with my PC but I'm not gona carry around my PC to use it as a GPS
So I know the GPS unit is working.
The XDA discovers the GPS but won't seam to pair.
Any help, please?
What happens exactly during the discovery process ? Can you go through all the pairing steps without any errors ?
That's weird coz I am using the same device with the O2 Exec on Dopod 900's latest ROM and it pairs just fine. In fact I have used it with other ROMs before and they worked fine too.
Once you have paired it, you need to give it an Outgoing COM port before you can use it.
