HELP Which Bluetooth Car kit Works

Hi Everybody,
I would like to by the most suitable BT car kit for my MDA II.
but i donet know which works ? Which one do you redommend?
Dave
Thanks alot in advance for your advise!

Evening!
Right, first post so I'd better get this right!
Microsoft didn't bother to write the full apps into their standard bluetooth code so the XDAII (assume the mdaII is the same) only supports the "headset" profile - which would mean that normal ("full") car kits won't work as they use the "handsfree" profile.
However - the SonyEricsson HCB (or HBC - can't remember) 30 supports both profiles so the XDAII works fine - I've tried it, it just treats it has a headset.
If you are looking for one of the "plug-in" BT kits just check it runs on the headset profile and you should be fine!

Which GPS for XDAII

Hi!
I have browsed through the board and some websites concering GPS kits for the XDAII and I am even more confused than before.
Can anybody give me a suggestion about which GPS Device works good with the XDAII and which card software is to be preferred?
I want to use my XDAII as a navigation system in my car and I am from germany (if that does matter somehow).
Thanks alot!
Dominik

Hi,
I would say: Emtac Bluetooth GPS Receiver...
http://www.emtac.com/
This one is really great!
Combine this with XDA II + Bluetooth Tools + Emtac BTGPS is the best solution for GPS...
Greetings,
Sam

Navman 4410
navman 4410 with bluetooth gps receiver, works perfect,
BUT if you go for the fixed version, go for the t-mobile carkit for €199,- to get from the german t-mobie stores, this is the BEST DEAL arround. you get the carkit, plus the sat-nav software, plus the gps receiver.
OK its build in, but a very strong deal

If you have a BT gps do you still not have to plug it in to the car cigar lighter so to some extent is it not still hardwired?
Or
Do you just use alot of batteries

Navman 4410
My navman BT Gps has batteries which are good for 30 hours, but can still plug it in the cigarete lighter if I am in the car. so multiple options
The good thing of this one is, when I am in town by foot or train, I can still use the gps.
That is so perfect

Is the Emtec BT GPS the same one as made by Socket comms but just with a different badge, because i know this as a GPS is probley the most sensitive GPS i have ever used and its excellent where other GPS dont see any or only a few sats, this one still works fine
John

That is rubbish
My navman, sees in the UK at least 8 sats

GPS BT-77 HELP?

hi
i am new to this
i got SPV M1000+TOMTOM 5
and this GPS RECEIVER BT-77 is £50 on EBAY any good?
tnx for help :?

Ask the vendor if it works ok with your phone. If it is a standard bt gps with serial profile I cannot foresee any problem for tomtom or the spv.

Best GPS accessory for MDA II

Hi,
I would like to equip my MDA II with GPS. Is there something I should know about it? Any problems? What are the best accessories for MDA II (regarding GPS).
Thanks a lot for any feedback

I would suggest a wired gps if you want to use it only in the car. This will come with charging cable for phone and also power the gps. There are many types of mount available so pick one that suits your purpose. I found that a lot of the powered mounts with built in speaker suffered from rf audio breakthrough which caused very bad noise and interference.

How to Ad TMC Information without a additional GPS

Hello to all around here,
has anyboy a hardware solution to add the TMC signal to the advice without buying a new gps receiver?

tmc adapter
there are "GNS FM TMC Transmitter" avaiable
just look at ebay and ask the seller
if they´re compatibel with the mini usb connection of the wonderful
trinity.
cost are about 40-60 €
have not tried for myself, but heared that it should work
greetings

Hi span_od,
If you ask for a "TMC upgrade" for a wired external GPS, just look at the device from AVANTEQ. You find it at http://www.avanteq.de/eng/beat-the-traffic-with-vio-tmc-receiver.html.
This device is just plugged into the cable between PDA and GPS and adds TMC-information to the GPS data. It is compatible to various navigation systems like NAVIGON, iGO, Destinator and fits with all external GPS having RJ11 or PS2connector.
I am using it with my HP2210 as well as my LOOX N500 since three months and it works really fine . Have encountered nearly any traffic problem since then. It is really worth the 79EUR I paid for.
Is this what you were looking for?
Best Regards
Jakob
