I just bought a navman 440 for xda2 but foud the pairing problem....
read someting from previous threads...
it is been a while.....does any one know how to solve this?
please!
thanks
Have you upgraded to the new rom version? I heard it solves the bt-gps problems....
Navman
The navman pin code is NAVMAN
Doesn't work with Xda II BT, which expects numbers.
Oh well - put pressure on Navman t change their firmware and O2 to change Xda II.
The 4400 is a sealed unit, there's no way of hooking it into a PC to change any firmware.
As to the passkey issue, it's Microsoft not allowing blank keys which is the problem, the 4400 isn't the only device which wants to pair without a numerical passkey...
Navman BT GPS - on XDA II
You'll find that loading the Widcomm BT stack on the XDA II (it can co-exist with the Microsoft one) should fix it from what I've been told.
It certainly fixes the issue on the Leadtek GPS units and I'm told that the Widcomm stack works with non numeric pins.
Search these forums for current location of the link to the Widcomm stack (The Towa fix won't help you BTW).
Cheers
Andy
I'm probably going nuts, but I can't find working links anywhere in the forum to a copy of the widcomm stack.
Can someone help? Please?
Solution wihtout using the WidCom Software
If you still did not find a solution please try the folowing
- Get the file http://www.angeltowns.com/town/bluetooth/EnableCharPin.zip
- Copy the file EnableCharPin.exe to you PDA
- Start the bonding dialog until you get the password screen
- Now launch the explorer and start the executable (you will get a small message)
- Get back to the password screen (if you don't find it click on the BT icon in the today screen)
- Characters are now enabled
Best regards,
Tobias
Can anybody get this link to work, I cant get it even using cut and paste to web browser address window.

Hi All,
Excellent forum, been watching for a while now as original XDA owner. XDA is now defunct after many months happy service (Save the provider!!) - Really didn't do enough with it!
Firstly, got my XDAII and took it out wrapper - Played..
Now time for the serious stuff:
1. Ran BluetoothGPS - Fantastic, why can we not see more of this type of app on XDA? However, ran into a couple of problems:
- Setup all connections (LAN, serial, etc) and seemed to work fine with laptop with BT Dongle (TDK Class 2 & latest driver set)
- Replaced \windows\startup BTTray shortcut with new one for BTGPS, soft reset....
Yet still both systray icons come up......
And Activesync won't work through the defined serial port....
I'd really like to start using BluetoothGPS, but I need Activesync to work... I need the other functionality i.e. LAN etc which the current MS BT stack doesn't!!
Is there a way to completely remove the MS BT Stack and make BTGPS the only stack? Is it a regedit or a ROM cook that needs to be done?
Has anyone done this? Hows it working......
Oh, I bought a stowaway keyboard too... (Required for the size)... and O2 bundled their o2-g2 headset for nowt.....
Here is the problem:
Once you install BluetoothGPS, it will totally override all the MS Bluetooth services; meaning, no more Activesync or SSA; I think headset still works though.
Also, you cannot use the Activesync or SSA that is provided by the hacked software (or at least mine didn't work).
Please someone, find a fix. This is an awesome stack!
So i have this program combined with this GPS aerial. However it would appear they have had a fight and will not communicate! Well to be honest i am unable to open a Com port according to the program...
This is from the site:
I think I know the correct port and speed, but trying to connect always yield's "Failed to open COM Port."
The access to a COM-port is mutual exclusive which means, that only one program may have access to the receiver at once.
If you are using TomTom, please try the following:
On the PocketPC, uninstall the TomTom ~GPS application (that and only that one)
Don't do it via the PC, do it on the PDA directly
The uninstall routine will ask for a soft reset. After that, everything (including TomTom) will work
Most probably another program or driver is blocking the port.

Now - this and Pocket Informant are the only 2 programs i ahve had running and also the only ones on my XDA after my Hard Resset last night
What is the problem and how do i fix it? Has anyone else had this issue - i have looked under their Success page for those with problems like mine but i cant find my combination or anyhting close
Also Oziexplorer was working with it up until i hard-resetted it so i know that the GPS works.
Com port
Had the same problem.
Disconnect the IR which is using the comport. Got to the connections setup and disable.
Directly after this has been done TomTom finds the GPS.
Rien
Absolute freaking legend...
Immediately after shutting the infrared off it switched on - it must block the com port from anything going in then...
So the big question remains - Why was Oziexplorer working with it?
Dopod M700
Same problem with my Dopod M700 + GPS Receiver + OziExplorer.
Where will we find another port to close it?
uncheck
"receive all incoming beams"
in network
Don't know if anyone else here has tried this workaround at all?
Using the remove programs in settings or activesync, remove Tomtom Bluetooth GPS Support (or whatever it's called).
Instead of setting up TT5 to use "Other Bluetooth GPS", set it up to use "Other Cable NMEA GPS".
Set the GPS Baud rate to 9600 or 19200 (both work fine for me).
Then set the COM port to "Bluetooth Serial Port COM6:" (or whatever your outgoing port number is for your BT GPS device.
The only downside is that you have to turn BT on manually before you start TT5 but it doesn't disconnect BT when it exits.
Used this setting on 3 different roads which lately caused me no end of lock-ups and not once has it happened. I think the problem is with Tomtoms bluetooth support drivers, constant problems with them since TT3.
I've only used this for 3 days and 400 miles but everything seems to be fine up to now, including traffic...........we'll see.
TT5
Did your TT5 load onto the XDA with no problems?
I have an XDA IIi and it loaded on no problems at all.
I have an XDA IIi and it loaded on no problems at all.
Great suggestion. I was getting really fed-up with TT5 and about to give up on it. Just back from France/Switzerland where it kept freezing, useless.
Simply uninstalled the TT GPS Support as suggested and used the existing BT Partnership with the TT Receiver and hey presto ... TT running smoothly again, shame I'm back in the UK on roads I know!
Does not work for me. But well worth a try.
This is doing my head in now £200 worth of TomTom software and dongle and unusable with the phone on!
arh help please
I have a problem with my XDA11 whilst trying to upgrade my navigator 3 software to navigator 5......
After I load the main program upgrade and then try to install the map disc one my pc ( desk top XP Profesional os ) it come up with tempory folder full, does'nt say if it it the pc or the xda11.
I have gone into all the temp folders on the pc and emptied them and it had not resolved the problem and I cant find any in the search function on the XDA
Any ideas??
Its a genuine copy of the Tom Tom software as well and there are no contact details on there sites including e-mail links
Regards Lee
there are known issues with Bluetooth device support using TomTom5, i was advised to use the 'Other Cable NMEA GPS' option when connecting a non TomTom bluetooth GPS unit.
also, i connected at the baud rate recommended by the manufacturer which i think was 9600, this worked fine without removing any parts of the software but meant manual switch off of Bluetooth in my MDA after use.
in addition to this, the Bluetooth connection issues with non TomTom GPS units should be resolved in the 5.10 upgrade, just installed it and re-paired an MDA3 to the Globalsat GPS receiver...it now auto switches off Bluetooth after use and the connection can be made using 'Other Bluetooth Receiver'.
another bonus of the 5.10 update is the keyboard shows on the display without having to use the hardware keyboard on the MDA...lovely.

answer to last question about free memory during install problem can be found here:
When I install the TomTom NAVIGATOR 5 Upgrade the following error occurs: - Not enough free space occurs on temporary folder. Cannot run Setup

Thanks for the link dont know how I missed that....
Only problem now is when I tap Start etc there is no Run command to enter the %......% command line
I tried the search in explorer option with no results any ideas?
Sorry I'm not the brightest lamp on the planet
you are tapping Start on your PC right?
maybe the 'Run' command has been disabled or does not appear in your Start menu because it's been disabled.
are you the Administrator of your PC? are you running XP?
you may have to go into 'Control Panel', 'Taskbar and Start Menu', Start Menu tab and choose 'Classic Start menu'
trying to cover as many bases here so you can make some headway without too much back an forth as i'm signing off now....if you can get to the 'Run' command on your PC then you'll be able to solve the problem and proceed with the fix from the TomTom site.
good luck.
I have had so much trouble with satnav on pda's, especially with bluetooth that although I have xda 1 with wired gps and spv M1000 with bluetooth gps I have just boght a Mitac Mio 269 dedicated gps system. It has a 2.5 gb hard drive, 500 megs for mp3, the whole of europe, which is millions of miles, preinstalled on the system. Comes with remote and different mounts and has sd card expansion. Obviously it isnt any good for phone calls or word processing etc but it gives me peace of mind when travelling as I have zero sense of direction and very little patience. I still leave my other gps in the car though, as a backup. :shock:

Many thanks I told you I wasn't to bright you hit the nail on the head with the ( PC comment ) I was looking for the run command on the XDA11...
deleted the exe and evrything is loading up as we speak....
thanks again for your patientence....
Crusin-thru' I can see why you have gone your route its a lot less trouble I just use mine now as a back up phone because I spend a lot of time away from home and just simply use a Nokia 6680 on 3G.....
Also since I stopped using the XDA11 as a phone the pda doesn't keep resetting itself every ten minutes like it did!!
cash_13,
it happens to the best of us...had to think about it myself, instructions on the TomTom site could have been more specific saving many people a lot of time...but you dont always realise this until you have to follow the instructions yourself....glad you got it sorted now.
has anyone got tomtom mobile on their phone?
Can get it all working fine, but when I want to select a non tomtom gps receiver, it just goes back to the gps configuration screen, doesn't let me select the com port etc?
Thanks
anyone have a solution to this? i am trying to use it with a parrot ck3300?
Thanks
Paul
try GPS Dash. It's free too.
got it sorted. name the bluetooth device BT GPS and all is well
Paul
fine with Tomtom mobile
I have been using my SDA(US) with TOMTOM 5.20 for a few month. There is no special configuration needed, I just have to add 2 ports, for incoming and outgoing. My GPS is the Globalsta BT-338.
awesome combination.

I've found that any combination of name is accepted by the program, BUT....
there is a BUT...
the name of the device has to end with "GPS", otherwise only names coded within the executable can cannoect with the device...
I've tried with my "HBTGPSOL" (the solar powered one) for one long weekend with no luck until I tried renaming my device to "HBTGPSOL GPS" and... voila'... it started working within seconds, not minutes...
S**T HAPPENS...
Hope this helps someone else out.

Hi,
I'm hoping someone out there will be kind enough to help and solve this problem before I rip all my hair out!!!
I've installed tomtom (V5.00) on my mda pro, but I can't get it to recognise my bluetooth gps receiver.
I've set up a bluetooth partnership with an outgoing COM port. My MDA allows me to choose COM0 ,COM4,COM8
When I select other Bluetooth device from Tom Tom configuration, it gives me the options:
QCT Data Interface
Serial Cable on COM1
COM7
RIL on COM6
Infrared Port
Ir on COM3
I can't seem to align the software and the bluetooth to get it working correctly. Please help
Update your application to at least version 5,21 to get this working, have a look at http://www.tomtom.com/support/index.php?Language=1&FID=3361 for the software - Mike
Apart from the 5.21 and above (current is 6.03) software requirement, many users also have to set a COM port your MDA offers you (i.e. COM0) manually in the navigator.cfg (or was it .dat, don´t remember,try) file where the COM is stored that TT is using. Just change to navigator.txt, edit and change back to .cfg Good luck.
