Hi,
I´ve bought a car with a 7" multimedia radio made by "Timeless".
The software of this receiver is based on a windows mobile 5.0 OS.
Unfortunately the radio software ist without RDS and AF.
Does anybody know, how I can upgrade this software?
Do I need a completely new rom or is ist possible to install a new radio software?
Thanks in advance
Greeetz

hi out there! i´m still waiting for my artemis (german version is not out by now). can any body tell me, if it´s possible to use tmc on the artemis (fm-radio antenna is on board) for example with the MobileNavigator 5.
thx
Interesting thought and I did read somewhere a while ago that this was possible, having messed around with the device it is not possible let me explain:
1/ You need the Artemis powered up to run TomTom properly in a car long journeys will just flatten the battery.
2/ The FM Radio ONLY works IF the headphones are plugged in (they provide the aerial) - you cannot simultaniously charge the device and use headphones as they use the same connection point on the Artemis.
3/ The only traffic option offered by TomTom Nav 6 on the Artemis (even with headphones plugged in) is for a GPRS connection.
To be honest this would have been the ultimate package, IF they had managed to get it to work (I am not sure they even considered it to be honest) but I doubt fitting the TMC receiver parts into the Artemis would have been easy - food for thought for the manufacturers though? - Mike
thank´s mike! just found the eten x500 glofiish. its nearly the same device but better processor and tmc works. is that because the fm-reciever in the eten supports rds?
I doubt that its down to the FM part being RDS compatible the Artemis can use RDS as well. Most TMC receivers working in the FM band contain additional electronics to process the data into a usable form, if this electronics isn't in the hardware I don't think it will work. Mike
Well, i think this device is not perfect for using TMC.
I tried the FM9 antenna from GNS (German company who provides TMC) and currently it does not work so the only possibility is to use a BT TMC antenna which is totaly stupid due to the reason
1. the Artemis has already built-in GPS
2. the BT TMC antenna is very expensive >200€
I will try TMC on that device with the headphones as soon as i find the headphone input
NO TMC
Guys, what are you talking about?
TomTom itself does NOT support TMC in Navigator software. Why do not read the TomTom website before put any efforts: (cite):
"Question
Will there be support for TMC in a next or upcoming release of TomTom Navigator software ?
Answer
TomTom continuously strives to include the best possible functionality in our products and to deliver new features. However there are currently no plans to provide TMC in TomTom Navigator software. We recommend that you register on our web site and sign up for our newsletter, so we can keep you informed about future releases and upgrades. "
"Question
Can I use the TomTom RDS-TMC Receiver with all TomTom products?
Answer
The TomTom RDS-TMC Receiver can be used with the TomTom GO 910/710/510."
Of course you might to use the different navigation software, than I apologies, but the original question was about the TMC + TomTom.
Interesting, I have been trying to figure out if traffic alerts are free on the tmobile service with the compact III. The following review seems to indicate that, but no mention of it on the tmobile site itself. Anyone verify this? Seems like no need for a separate TMC device if u have this?
http://www.coolsmartphone.com/news2810.html
Available with CoPilot® Live 6 satellite navigation*, the MDA Compact III makes dedicated navigation systems redundant, with turn-by-turn voice instructions, detailed street mapping and powerful route calculation for navigation in-car or on foot. With its integrated jog wheel and touch screen, the device makes it easy to enter a destination and follow the comprehensive door-to-door directions. Web’n’walk customers will be able to take advantage of free real-time traffic alerts and avoidance, delivered directly into CoPilot via the T-Mobile GPRS network.

Ralph, you are quite correct, however some stupid sales adverts did state the "Built in FM Radio could be used for Traffic information over RDS" - what I was pointing out, is that this idea - whilst nice is not a possibility - Mike
I read somewhere that the gps included in the artemis was able to retrieve rds/tmc signal, but that still a rom update was necessary to enable that feature...
Why GPS receiver should support TMC? It's pointless.
TMC information is provided via FM Radio with RDS signal. Artemis has built in FM RDS Radio - and nothing more is required.
Except proper software, of course.
Anyone tried TMC Demo Program from Royaltek
http://www.royaltek.com/index.php/component/option,com_weblinks/task,view/catid,46/id,3/
or
GNS TrafficCompact from Dantotec
http://www.dantotec.de/shop/gns-trafficcompact-tmc-software-fuer-pocketpc-p-10808.html
it would be great to know the COM port of the internal FM radio (if it has a com port), or a possibility to get the rds data from the radio to a COM port, for use with TMC compatible software like Navigon.
Tried
I've tried it with the first program but it needs a com port and i don't thinkj the p3300 has linked its radio to a com port.
Maybe someone could try Route 66 in the newest version. It supports TMC via RDS (update on www.66.com) people in the Eten forum also said that TMC even with the new glofiish x500 doesn't work and that this is a problem with the navigation software that doesn't support those fmradio chipsets. but the newest route66 shold work. maybe we have to wait until navigon6 pda will be released, i think navigon will have support for the newest chipsets in their newest software. or try the route66 software.
1 question and i hope my head isnt took off here but wat is tmc?

Traffic Message Channel, it provides information on accidents/ hold ups etc via FM radio.
I doubt this will work via the Artemis, the Route 66 web page does list a couple of suitable TMC units to work with the latest update, the biggest problem is the need to have the earphones plugged in to act as the aerial, couple this with poor reception (the audio plays well on strong stations, but drops out on weaker ones). The other problem I now have following the upgrade to the latest R66 is messed up menus, tech support later today! - Mike
I have a Qtek 8310, and recently I bought myself a Nokia BH-501 bluetooth A2DP headset. It works great for phonecalls, but I just can't make it work for mp3-playback with Windows Media Player. My phone runs WM5 version 5.1.195 with radio version 413.1.04_02.09.00. Have anyone else had similar problems? Aren't these devices compatible?

New ROM?
I think I have the latest ROM, version 2.0.9.0. Operator version 2.5.311.2
Bluetooth software
I installed 'BlueMusic' for Smartphone, and suddenly it worked, but with terrible sound quality. Is it really necessary to have this certain kind of software to make it work? I thought it all was a part of the A2DP standard...
if the quality is poor it's prob not using A2DP
not all phones with bluetooth support A2DP
if yours does and how to make it work if it does
i sugst the link i posted before
personaly i know nothing about your device but i'm sure there are plenty who does in the forum for the device

Hi Guys, first post so take it easy!
I recently purchased an Asus P535 with the primary intended use as a PDA that can interface with the Rockford Fosgate 3Sixty.2 Processor that runs the Audio system in my car. The 3Sixty software is best run from a Palm or WM equipped PDA, and connects via bluetooth. Unfortunately, it seems that the Software written for the 3Sixty will only run on Windows Mobiles that have the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack, which so that counts out the P535 as it uses the Widcomm stack. I wouldn't have bought this model PDA if I was made aware of this minor foible.
I don't care if I have to pay for some software or an emulator as I have already outlayed AUD$700 on this phone, and am not too keen on getting rid of it in a hurry...
Cheer's.
Hi everyone, looking to pick up an octacore headunit from aliexpress, "KANOR" branded.
[can't post link because new member]
But one of the main reasons I want it is to connect with my ECU through a google play app called MDash. It connects via bluetooth. Through my reading over these android head units, I've seen a lot of mentions of the bluetooth functionality only working for music, phone calls, and the obd2 adapters. Does anyone have experience on whether or not the bluetooth is still this limited for the newer Android 8.0 octacore units? And if so, is there a way I can get the functionality I need out of the headunit by rooting it?
Thanks for your time and help!
bump
bump. Any help is greatly appreciated before I spend my money on a headunit.
Yes mate still crap. In fact Id say worse.
I have a new erising octa px5, mtcE, android 8 and bluetooth is minimal. Phone app is rubbish, sounds / looks terrible and it just about works .
Dont no for sure what profiles it has stock but seems everywhere I read now ppl are going the android auto route (which uses 'OK' google everything (surprise surprise)) and always on data. etc.
Lemmings!
