Hi,
I have a problem with a Bluetooth GPS receiver (COPILOT) and pairing it with the XDA II.Why does it always asks me for a device PIN.I haven't got one.Why do I need one and why can I not do it without a DEvcie PIN ?
I am ROM 1.6 and Radio 1.1
Help would very much appreciated.
Heiko
To prevent people from making unauthorized use of the unit! If you haven't got the pin then there's probably something fishy about the way you got it ........
Do you have a manual? it should be in there.
Nothing fishy about it.Bought it from expansys.Does every device need a PIN then.Got Software activation code and all the boxes and manual.
Are not explaining pairing in the manual at all.Should just work according to the Manual.
Heiko
0183
All you needed to do was search the forum for Copilot.
I searched for Bluetooth and GPS,but Copilot did not come to mind.
I think I am a bit fed up in having so many problems.
EXPANSYS seem to have sent me an incomplete package.Only half the Vent mount kit and no instruction booklet for GPS.
Thanks very much.You made my day!
I am very grateful to you for that info.
Hope it will sort my problem.

I am step furher .I got the two paired now.
It seems that I have no proper manual for the GPS receiver would anybody know which Com Port I need to set it to and what speed ?I get a green tick for GPS Comp Port Opened and when I choose Setup GPS,
Automatic seems not to detect.I get error message "Automatic GPS connection failed.Verify that your receiver is connected.".
Any ideas?
Thanks Heiko
Try com 5, assuming you answered yes to the question about serial device when bonding the gps.
I think for future reference here is my painful configuration experience of COPILOT Version 5 with a Copilot Bluetooth GPS receiver and XDA II.
1.Check that the Quickstart Package is complete:
-GPS receiver User Guide,Ventmount Kit with attachment for PDA,Bluetooth PIN code for GPS receiver.
- User/Installation Guide
- CDs and 128Mbyte SD card
2.Install the Software from the SD Card according to the User Guide
3.Check the Version number and note it down.Go to the Technical Support section of the Copilot Website and see whether there are any Patches available.
3.Deinstall the software from your device and install the patched software which you need to copy onto your SD card.
4.Install the software.
3.Check that you have bonded your Bluetooth GPS receiver with the XDA II and enable Comport 4Inbound and 5 Outbound.(ROM Version 1.60)
5.Use Code 0183 as the Bluetooth device PIN code
6.Go into Copilot software and everything should work as it did for me if you haven't lost the will to live by this time !
7.read this first : Buy a SatNav system with your car and haggle with the salesman like mad (its quicker).
Hope this helps everyone else as people helped me here.
Thanks
Heiko
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for the code
I was just about to give up, but the 0183 code worked like a charm. I have the new PPC6700 with WM5 and all of a sudden it wants the code. Previous versions never needed it. You just saved me $150.
Thanks again
is it possible to switch off the hardwarekeybord or uninstall the drivers??
thanks for your help.
Start / Settings / Connections tab and select Beam, turn off the receive all beams check box and that will have disabled the hardware keyboard (the keyboard still works but this action frees up the com port) mike

why would you want to??? :?:
I'd like to disable the KB so that TomTom5 will display its soft keyboard.
Tried the beam off and it didn't work. Must admit didn't think that it would though.
Anyone got an suggestions
Wayne
let us know how you get on. im not sure if someone has already tried it tho.
good luck
if it works i think i will do the same then i can re install tomtom5 as im back to using 3

just read this im sure this is not right. he wants to stop the device from recognising that it has a hard wired keyboard not an external one
OK fair point, I was pointing out the easy fix to get the wired GPS receiver unit to work - turn off IRdA, this will not as you correctly indicate force TT5 to use the on screen display keyboard, nothing will until they i.e. tomtom fix the situation - its just poor code untried and released on to the market - I would love to continue with vs3 but it will not work with my XDAIIs, vs 5 does (at last) but not hapy with the interface, lack of on screen keyboard and the inbuilt POI warner (speed cams etc) is rubbish compared to CheckPOI that I use on my ipaq-4700 - mike
Received this email back from TomTom support today.
"Thanks for your E-mail.
We are working on an update to solve the hardware keyboard problems and with 3rd party GPS receivers.
At the moment we can't give a release date but we hope in this month.
Please keep an eye on our wesbite for latest news."
Hopefully we should have a patch for TT5 this month
to mikealder
Just use overlays from checkpoint (copy ovl.files in tomtom dir)
Worked for me
Anybody find a way to disable the keyboard yet?
Found it, now I can use the on screen keyboard with TTN5
In register of PDA..
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell
Change..
HasKeyboard value from 1 to 0
upgrade to tomtom 5.1 solves the keyboard problem with XDA2s - go to tomtom web site to download update
Hi all I have a v1520 (ASUS P550)
I am having problems with bluetooth volume of Microphone when in conversations using my in car hands free.
I have read that changing the bluetooth stack can help this or indeed that some third party stuff can asweel.
Finally there may be reg edits that could help me.
Can anyone shed some light.
It is wm6 professional rom and as I cant find a new rom any suggestions would be great
thanks in advance
Bluetooth Woes
Hi, I have the same issues, bought a bluetooth keyboard, the driver does not find the bluetooth stack, so it all ends there!
I can see and pair to the device but it does nothing.
Same Phone Vodafone v1520 = ASUS P550.
Has anyone got and answers, comments, help.
The keyborad manufacturer, iGO said, "We no longer make the keyboards, so there will be no further driver updates". Nice!
Any assistance would be greatly appriciated.
bluetooth problem solved
Hi, well I now have a a working bluetooth keyboard. Using it to write this post. The way to fix the issue? buy a different keyboard!
I have now got the Freedom Input unversal keyboard. After a little hassle 'unlocking' the driver with help from their tech support, very fast response, it all seems to work well. The instructions with the packaging aren't very good, but the downloaded manual is a step by step guide. Once paired and thr driver setup, you can turn off the keyboard and blutooth on phone then turn them both on again and away you go, it remembers all the settings. running on Vodafone v1520 - ASUS P550 Windows Mobile 6. many Thanks for your interesting site.
Cheers, Adrian.
Dear All,
I would like to share my experience in this TMC project.
Recently I bought a Chinese GPS 100 unit to connect to my JVC KD AVX40
This has an av out in 320x240 and JVC has an AV in.
You can control the unit via touchpad.
It works correctly to my unit so I decided to get a TMC for this product.
This unit has One USB port which is in Host mode.
So Put a normal USB hub on it and it worked well with Pendrive and External Mouse
Next step, I got a FTDI USB to Rs232 device.
It has FTDI 232BM chip for UART connection it's very important to use chip like this , because of the windows ce driver
I've opened it and I removed chip called SP213EHCA.
In every RS232 there are 2 chips on the board. One is for USB to UART , and the second is for Uart To Rs232.
Because the every TMC receiver uses TTL communication which is working on 3.3v I need to "convert" the unit to USB to UART TTL only.
Obviously you can build a small circuit for this communication, but for myself it was easier to use this solution.
After I removed the Rs232 chip.
Datasheet Page 5 for picture of the pin outs.
You can download it from the FTDI website
The Tmc Receiver pin out is :
Pin definition:
Pin1 Vcc: 5V +- 10%
Pin2 TX: 3.3V TTL level, TMC data output.
Pin3 RX: 3.3V TTL level, receive commands.
Pin4 GND <-- It's not ground It's 5V !!!
Pin5 GND (for mini-USB only)
I soldered a mini USB mother type connector to the chip legs:
PIN2 goes to chip leg 24
PIN3 goes to chip leg 25
PIN5 goes to chip leg 17
So after this I connected the Royaltek TMC unit to my "hacked Rs232" board.
I put the "hacked rs232" to hub and I used a USB mini usb cable for power the tmc unit, so I connect the cable to hub and after that to the tmc.
After this I used this driver for windows ce 5.0
You can download it from the ftdi web site
I have to use mortscript which copy a self made reg file to the registry and copy the ftdi dll to /windows/ folder
Reg:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\LoadClients\1027_24577]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\LoadClients\1027_24577\Default]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\LoadClients\Default\Default\255]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\LoadClients\Default\Default\255\FTDI_DEVICE]
"DLL"="ftdi_ser"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\ClientDrivers\FTDI_DEVICE]

"Version"="1.0.2.11"
"ActiveSyncSetting"=dword:0003e880
"LatencyTimer"=dword:00000010
"DeviceArrayIndex"=dword:00000000
This reg file is directly uses COM PORT 1 (It was free in my device )
After this I created a very small circuit which holds the usb power for 20sec
parallely my reg and driver is installing in this time.
When I reached 20sec My Hive based Windows Registry will recognize the FTDI device and there are no pop up meassegas appear ....
IGO recognized the TMC device hardware
The reason I write this how to , because I read so many forums ,and web pages to find a solution for this , but i didn't find anything.
GNS is providing a TMC receiver for CAR PC but with a prolific based USB to UART chip, and the ARM based cpu is not understanding the driver
Ough I forget the tmc receiver what used:
Royaltek RTA-3000
Have a nince day I hope that I could help to someone

I got the same JVC stereo, how can I unlock for multizone DVD? Thank!
If i understand it correctly that you mean, you want to unlock the dvd region limitation.
I didn't unlocked it, but the main problem, that the unlock lock status is came from the dvd FW, which is not possible to reach it, via this unit. I searched for the web, and JVC also, for some FW update. There isn't any. So from my side i say it's not possible in easy way.
I have tested this solution and since half year aho its working fine under -20 to +50 so it is a solution.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Compatibility
Also tested with FT2232H
This soultion is working , only bug that because of the dual uart the windows device pop up a notification for the second uart driver.
Also working.
Not working with Moxa chip.
Not working with Prolific PL-2303. ( Because the driver for the chip is not going to get open com port in wince 5 :S )
It seems that the only solution is the FTDI chip.
I've made a test with bluepanter and Wayteq and a very old Blaupunkt.
Solution is worked when I changed the usb mode to Host in wince.
It's seems for the blepanter and the wayteq it make not so much sense bacuse you could buy their original accessories.
For the blaupunkt is okay.
Also this could be okay for the 1-2 din chinese gps. Needs to be tested.
Reception improving
I had issue with the tmc reception.
So the solution is make a fm Y cable, and share the outdoor antenna to the head unit and to the tmc receiver.
After the installation, I realised that the reception was not so good, because I miss calculated with the phantom power to my roof antenna, after the phantom power installation everything went fine.
I got reception where I never had it before. TMC news downloading time improved as well.
Take care with the phantom power because it could kill the TMC receiver, use only one way adapter !
hi,
many many thanks for you thread...i had some questions...
i have bought an Dynavin DVN-MC2000 and this unit is without TMC but it have an GPS-In Mother-Usb cable...i think this goes directly to the wince5.0 system.
Where did you buy your RT-3000 and do you have the complete name of the FTDI Modul?!
Maybe we can develop a solution together i could make fotos from my open DVN-MC2000 if it helps
Maybe a ohoto would be great.
I bought the tmc unit in hungary in an avarage shop.
About ftdi i had one in my work desk. But it doesnt matter the meaing is it should any type which is supporting from the wince ftdi driver side. See ftdi web.

Hello all!!
I've been reading the post and I have to congratulate you, very interesting!
If you do not mind I'll use this thread because I want to ask you a question, I haven´t found any response in any expert forum.
I have a problem with my car radio. It is a chenese radio with GPS and TMC integrated.
From the beginning the TMC worked correctly but It had problems with the GPS. It didn´t work properly (may be the driver was wrong or it was bad installed on the WIN CE5). The provider din´t give me a solution and I found a forum in France. There someone sent me an European WIN CE 5 ROM with the GPS installed a working properly. The problem is that this guy didnt have any ROM with the TMC driver integrated and now I dont have it installed.
My actual state is: WIN CE + GPS HW (installed and working) + TMC HW (not insalled)
My question is:
How could I install the TMC in my radio WIN CE5? The HW exists but my WIN CE 5 does not have the drivers and of course the IGO can not find it.
Thank you very much!
pd: sorry about my english!!!

From the first i need to know what kind of tmc chip do you have. Royaltek/GNS and after that we can get closer to the problem. Qhit the upper sokution you can put in the driver if we will figure out the chip manufacturel.
Sent from my GT-I9000
I am sure that the integrated chip is GNS tipe.
The only thing that can hapen if we install a wrong driver is that it would not work, wouldnt it?
But the other things would work good...
thank you!

I found something maybe from your IGO8 folder is missing one file called gpstmc.dll
Check this forum
http://www.mobilepassion.org/viewtopic.php?t=2355
I will check it.
Anyway I think that I need the driver for TMC receiver. I have the HW but it is not installed. Do you know were could I find TMC drivers for Win CE 5? with them the problem would be solved-install and the IGO would take it automatically (I had it installed the first time, but the GPS didnt work).
Hi everyone,
i have Galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition, I have poor GPS signal and wanna plug external GPS antenna. I don t know if its possible i found one free plug on board which located top right under the speaker and look like SMB plug , I have 2 questions about it.
1) Is that plug available for GPS antenna?
2) if first question's answer "yes", what kind of connector is it ( SMB , MCX or smth else)
i have the photo but cant post the link because i am newbie in forum ( must have 10 post to send a link)

I think that you should check all other possible causes - permissions, configuration of gps.conf, test GPS functionality on open space with data on via tethering and lastly if stock antenna is connected properly, not damaged in any way.
If you really want to improve GPS reception IMO better would be standalone GPS unit paired via bluetooth with tablet.
